Configuring Data Domains

You can configure the indexing and discovery process to consider data domains that you have defined in Discovery. See Using Data Domains, for more information about data domains and how to define them.

To configure data domains

From the Studio Administration menu, choose Configuration.

Under Discovery, expand the Indexing branch.

Set these data domain configuration parameters.

Parameter	Default	Result
Use Data Domains for Discovery	False	Enable or disable use of data domains during indexing and discovery. False—Discovery ignores data domain patterns during indexing and discovery. True—Discovery takes the defined data domain patterns into account during indexing and discovery. You must have defined data domain patterns as described in Using Data Domains, or there is no effect. This setting can only be modified after removing all Discovery indexes and tasks from the Discovery Tasks panel in Studio.
Data Domain Sample Size	64	If Discovery data domains are enabled using the parameter above, Discovery analyzes the data according to this sample size. If the number of entries is less than this value, all data is indexed. Minimum value: 16
