Custom Class Management Overview

Users can develop custom alerting and custom assessment classes, implementing Java interfaces supplied by Guardium Support. Once a class has been compiled, it must be uploaded to the Guardium appliance from the Administration Console. Select one of the topics above to upload, update, or remove a custom class.

For more information about custom alerting or custom assessment classes, see:
