The Matches Log in Data Loss Prevention (DLP) Policies provides a comprehensive list of content containing sensitive information that has been matched based on the policy rules.
This log helps administrators monitor and manage data security incidents.
The Matches Log dashboard consists of several key sections that provide detailed information about detected sensitive data.
Date & Time: This section displays the date and time when the content or file was added in MangoApps, allowing administrators to track when a policy violation occurred.
Policy Name: Each matched entry is associated with a specific policy. This section displays the name of the policy that detected the sensitive information, helping administrators understand which rule was triggered.
Item Title: The Item Title section provides the title, subject, or content of the matched item, offering insight into the nature of the flagged content.
Item Type: This section identifies the type of content detected, which may include posts, messages, chats, files, pages, wikis, updates, and more.
Matched Pattern : Sensitive information is detected based on predefined patterns. This section displays the type of sensitive data found, such as:

Occurrences: This section shows the number of times sensitive information was found within the content, helping administrators assess the severity of a violation.
Action Taken: Based on the policy rules, different actions can be taken when a violation is detected. This section details the response applied to each detected match, such as:

Administrators can download the matches log as an Excel file based on selected filters and policy rules. This feature helps with record-keeping and further analysis.
