About "Discover content"

Takahiro | Last updated: Aug 24, 2024 12:38AM UTC

In "Discover content," under what circumstances do you consider content to have been discovered? My guess is that it's when a status code other than 404 is returned. Is there any other logic behind this? Also, I don't think there is a function to freely set this, but is my understanding correct?

Hi When using Discover Content, you can only configure the lists/options you want to test. You cannot curently configure which response codes you want to be added to the site map. While requests which result 404 responses can be seen as they are are not added to the site map, others will be, for example 405 may not directly find something but may give you an interesting angle for further manual investigation. I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any further questions.
