Breadcrumbs

Scanning Archive Files

If you have Java/Ruby/Python archive files and you are willing to open them and extract descriptive information, then you can use this feature by providing values for the following parameters:

  • archiveExtractionDepth 

  • archiveIncludes 

  • archiveExcludes

The drill-down hierarchy is limited to a maximum of 10 and can be modified in the configuration file.
By default, the drill-down hierarchy level is zero - no drill down.
Supported archive types are as follows:

  • .aar

  • .car

  • .ear

  • .egg

  • .gem

  • .hpi

  • .jar

  • .nupkg

  • .rar

  • .rpm

  • .sca

  • .sda

  • .tar

  • .tar.bz2

  • .tar.gz

  • .tar.xz

  • .tgz

  • .war

  • .whl

  • .xz

  • .zip

  • In case of Ruby .gem files, only the data.tar.gz file is extracted, and all the other content files are ignored.

  • In Ruby, one hierarchy level is defined to extract Ruby's .gem and data.tar.gz files.
