# Secrets scanner configuration
## Detectors
Please read the documentation on [secret detectors available](https://docs.xygeni.io/xydocs/secrets/detectors/index.html).
## Configuration
The Secrets Scanner is configured in the YAML file `config/xygeni.secrets.yml`:
Detectors are configured with different YAML files located under the `conf/secrets` directory of the xygeni scanner. There is a sample `_template.yml_` file that could be used for creating your own detectors.
{% hint style="info" %}
To avoid scanner updates overwriting your configurations, you may define a directory where custom detectors could be loaded with the `--custom-detectors-dir` command-line argument.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.xygeni.io/xygeni-products/secrets-security/secrets-scanner/secrets-scanner-configuration.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
