Indexing and Scrubbing

LFMT uses user-defined regular expressions for both log file indexing and log file scrubbing. This section describes how to manage these regular expressions.

Important

• Genesys does not create, validate or support customer regular expressions required within LFMT
• Genesys regex guidance made be provided, but the customer is responsible for creation, validation, testing and support of user defined LFMT regexes
• Genesys strongly recommends the customer comprehensively tests the regular expressions that you want to use for LFMT Indexing and Scrubbing before you define them in the LFMT Client
• A good resource to test LFMT Regexes would be the Genesys Log File Masking Utility (LFMU) as it uses the same Regex Engine approach for masking log files
