JsonPath best practices¶
Introduction¶
Technically savvy users can use JsonPath statements to influence the behaviour of Versio.io or provide data for reporting.
The following link gives a very good overview of JsonPath: https://goessner.net/articles/JsonPath/
Collection of JsonPath statements¶
| Where can you use it? | Description | JsonPath |
|---|---|---|
| Host importer configuration | IPv6 addresses can change very often, causing changes in Versio.io. If IPv6 is not important to you, you can delete all IPv6 addresses in the Importer Configuration under 'Instance modification'. | $.operatingSystem.networkInterfaces.*[?(@.family == 'IPv6')] |
| All importers that can capture passwords (file, host process). | Identify passwords; we then recommend masking or, even better, hashing them. | $..[?(@property.match(/.*password.*/i))] |
| All key names | Identify all key names of an object | $.someObject.*~ |
