Installing interceptors

Interceptors are included, but not installed or activated by default. You can enable interceptors when they are required.

Fastpath: Admin Console: Spaces > Settings > Interceptors
Some things to keep in mind when you are setting up interceptors:
  • Interceptors are executed in the order they appear in the list of interceptors. So, if you install more than one, use the move arrows to make sure the interceptors are listed in an order that makes sense. For example, do not add a message to a moderation queue by a person whose IP is banned from posting.
  • You can install an interceptor multiple times, setting it up differently each time.
  • For the query strings, use the search conventions, as described in Search Reference in the User Guide. Note that you cannot enter a comma-separated list of words in the search query string boxes.
To set up an interceptor:
  1. In the Admin Console, go to Spaces > Settings > Interceptors.
  2. Verify that you have selected the correct space to enable interceptors. If you need to change the space, click change space at the top of the page.
  3. From the interceptor list, select the type of interceptor that you want to install.
  4. Click Install.

    After you've installed the interceptor, it appears in a list of current interceptors.

  5. In the list of interceptors, click Edit next to the interceptor to edit its properties.
  6. Use the list of interceptor properties to refine how the interceptor must work. For more information, see Interceptor reference.
  7. For the search queries, make sure to use the search conventions, as described in Search Reference in the User Guide. Note that you cannot enter a comma-separated list of words in the search query string boxes.
