Pattern Suggestions

Hidden by default

Pattern discovery is disabled by default and is no longer linked from the application navigation. The feature is still available to app administrators who navigate directly to /admin/pattern-discovery and enable it there.

Administration -> Pattern Suggestions lists patterns found by pattern discovery. Each suggestion includes the token shape, example locations given as project and issue key, affected projects, estimated occurrences, and a discovery confidence score. The examples are locators, not text: no sample of the matched content is kept.

Actions on a suggestion:

  • Run discovery for a scan ID.
  • Generate a candidate regex.
  • Validate the candidate regex.
  • Convert the suggestion into a custom rule.

When converting, you can edit the rule name, category, severity, scope, description, regex, and context keywords. Converted rules follow the normal custom-rule lifecycle - including the test-before-activation gate. See Rules.
