Select event rules

Vault Radar event rules allow you to customize events' severity based on the secret type. All built-in events start with the severity level set to Default (dynamic).

When the severity level is set to dynamic, Vault Radar will determine the severity based on multiple factors such as whether the secret is found in the latest version of the code, whether common place holder phrases such as EXAMPLE are included, and the type of file being scanned.

Edit severities

1. Select Settings/Event Rules.

2. Review the available event types, click the Severity drop-down, and select the desired severity level.

   

You can also edit or delete an event rule. The updated event ruless do not impact the previous scan results but affect future scans. When you run a reconciliation scan, on-demand scan, PR webhook scan, or similar, you can view events based on the updated severities.
