This feature is in the Preview stage. To get access, contact tech support or your account manager.

A data source contains information on the Yandex Object Storage bucket to scan, along with additional settings.

To create a data source:

Security Deck interface

Go to Yandex Security Deck.
In the left-hand panel, select Data Security Posture Management and go to the Data sources tab.
In the top-right corner, click Create source.
In the Bucket field, select an available bucket you want to use as a source of data for scanning.
Under Selection settings, specify the scope for the scan:
- All files: The scan will check all the files saved in the bucket.
- Files by template: The scan will check all the bucket files whose names match or do not match the specified templates:
  - File name contains: The scan will check files whose names match this template.
  - File name does not contain: The scan will ignore files whose names match this template.
  You need to set each template as a regular expression. You can provide templates in both fields, in which case the scan will employ the AND logic to select files.
Under Information about source, in the Name field, indicate the data source name you will use to select this source when creating a scan.

To use a bucket name as a data source name, click on the right side of the Name field.
Click Create source.

As a result, the new source will appear in the list of data sources. Now you can select this data source when creating a scan.
