Creating a Detector

After 18th August 2024, this page would permanently be moved to a new location. You can access this page from a new URL which is present here. If you have saved or bookmarked the current URL, kindly update it with the new URL, since there will be no 301 redirect from the current URL to the new URL.

You can customize your Detection Rules by creating custom detectors in the Nightfall dashboard.

To create a Detector, select "Detectors" from the left-hand navigation and click the + New Detector button

Custom detectors can add context and exclusion rules on top of pre-built Nightfall detectors, or can be built off your own custom regular expressions.

Be aware that you may not have two detectors based on the same Nightfall data type within the same detection rule.

A full glossary of Nightfall's prebuilt detectors can be found in the Detector Glossary
