Philterd Policy Editor

Philterd Policy Editor

Welcome to the Philterd Policy Editor documentation. This tool provides a user-friendly interface for building and managing redaction policies for Philter and Phileas, the open-source PII/PHI redaction engine.

Features

  • Dynamic Filter Selection: Choose from over 30 PII/PHI filter types.
  • Multiple Strategies: Configure multiple redaction strategies per filter with optional conditions.
  • Advanced Configuration: Fine-tune PDF redaction settings, document splitting, and post-filtering.
  • Policy Management: Upload existing JSON policies to edit, and download or copy generated policies.
  • Policy Testing: Run a policy against text in the browser and see which spans were redacted, with bundled synthetic sample documents so no real data is needed.
  • Author with PhiSQL: Write a policy in PhiSQL and compile it into the editor.
  • Health and Metrics: /api/health reports the status and application version, and /actuator/health and /actuator/prometheus cover probing and scraping.
  • Docker Support: Easy deployment using Docker and Docker Compose.

Redaction Policies

Philter and Phileas use JSON-based policies to define how sensitive information should be identified and redacted. This editor simplifies the creation of these complex JSON structures by providing a graphical interface that maps directly to the policy model used by both Philter and Phileas.
