# 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`:<br>

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 %}
