Chapter 4. Using Custom Rules

You can add your own custom rules to use during analysis of your applications. For information on writing custom MTA rules, see the MTA Rules Development Guide.

Select Rules Configuration from the user drop down to view all existing system and custom rules.

Figure 4.1. Add Custom Rules

Add Project

To add your own custom rules, click the Add button. You can either upload rules or register a server path that contains the rules.

Upload Rules
You can use the Choose Files button to select ruleset files, or you can drag and drop the files into the area provided. This uploads the selected ruleset files to the MTA server. Click Add to upload the rules.
Register a Server Path
Select the Server Path tab and enter a path on the server that contains rules to be available to projects. This does not copy the files to the MTA server, but instead uses the rules found in the specified location during analysis. This way, if the rules are updated in this location, the MTA server will always use the latest versions of rules during analysis. Click Add to register the rules.

Custom rulesets may be selected individually during a project analysis. To enable these select the ruleset in the Use local custom rules section of the analysis configuration.
