filefilter modify

Syntax

CLI

/opt/mapr/bin/maprcli filefilter modify
         -name name
         [ -description description ]
         -fileextensions extension

REST

Request Type	POST
Request URL	`http[s]://<host:port>/rest/filefilter/modify?<parameters>`

Parameters

Parameter	Description
`name`	Identifies the filter to modify. The name cannot be modified.
`description`	An optional description.
`fileextensions`	Comma separated list of extensions to block. For example, exe,bat blocks exe and bat files from being created and stored. Note: The extensions are NOT case sensitive. Setting the extension to exe blocks file1.exe but does not block file1.EXE

Note: Modifying file filters does not delete files already present in accordance with the current extensions. They only block new files henceforth. For example, if you modify a filter that currently has jpg,png, and now add txt to it, files with an extension of txt that are already present in the volume are not deleted. New files with the txt extension are prevented from being created hereafter.

Example

Modify a filter named noexebat to disallow exe, bat, and sh files:

CLI

/opt/mapr/bin/maprcli filefilter modify -name noextbat -description No EXE BAT and sh files \ 
                      -fileextensions exe,bat,sh -json
