Thresholds

Several thresholds have been introduced at the Realm level to allow admin to set a limit for the number of files a user can copy/move in a single operation. These thresholds apply to prevention rules only.

These limits allow you to have control over user experience. You can configure what the Agent will do when Content Scanning fails because thresholds were exceeded or other content scanning related failures occurred.

In print prevention, file exceeds thresholds for content scanning are not enforced and agent will block the print.

Thresholds are defined at the Realm level when Enable Content Scanning is turned.

  • File Size Limit: Sets a limit for the file size. The maximum allowed is 1000MB. Default file size is 30MB.

  • Number of Files in Bulk: 

  • Time Extraction Limit: Sets a time limit for text extraction. The maximum time allowed is 10 minutes. Default time is 3 minutes.

  • Text Analysis Time Limit: Sets a time limit for the content scanning. The maximum time allowed is 60 minutes. Default time is 3 minutes.

  • Text Extraction Size Limit (to be deprecated): Sets a size limit for the text extracted.

    This threshold is available for Agents version 2.4 (or before). When this threshold is available, the content scanning process first checks whether the file size is below the File Size Limit threshold. If the file size exceeds the file size limit, then content scanning is bypassed and the applied action (and user notification) is taken from the configuration in the Realm. (See )If the file size is below the threshold, then the entire text is extracted, and its size is evaluated against the Text Extraction Size Limit threshold. If the text size exceeds the threshold, the activity is blocked and an internal notification is displayed.

  • Text Extraction Size: Sets the size of the text to be extracted. Maximum size is 150MB.

    From Agent version 2.5, this new threshold, Text Extraction Size is added (1-150M) for partial text extraction. This threshold allows the admin to control the size of the text to be actually extracted (as opposed to current behavior in 2.4 where the entire text is extracted and only after , the check is made whether the size exceeds the Text Extraction Size Limit).
