Manage guardrails

Add or remove guardrails on a specific Sentinel from the app

Each Sentinel carries its own guardrail policy — the set of guardrails it runs on inbound traffic. You manage that policy per gateway from the SUPERWISE® app, so different Sentinels can enforce different rules.

Open a Sentinel from the app and find the Guardrails section. It lists the guardrails currently in the policy, each showing its direction, action, and average added latency.

Add a guardrail

  1. Click Add guardrail.
  2. In the Add a guardrail catalog, pick one to add it to this Sentinel's policy.

The available guardrails are Secret & credential detection, PII redaction, and Rudeness & toxicity. Each is added as a remediating guardrail — it redacts matched content in place. A guardrail already in the policy is marked Added.

Remove a guardrail

Use the delete icon on a guardrail's row to remove it from the policy. Removed guardrails are marked Removed until you save; if you change your mind, click Restore.

Save your changes

Adds and removals are staged — nothing changes on the gateway until you save. An unsaved-changes banner summarizes what you've edited:

  • Save changes applies the new policy.
  • Discard reverts to the current policy.
ℹ️

Saved changes take effect on the Sentinel's next heartbeat — gateways pull their guardrail policy from the control plane roughly once a minute, so a new policy is live within about a minute.
