How findings meet the source#

The Inspect tab applies the rules to the message. The tab splits in two. The left pane holds the findings that a ruleset produced against the open message. The right pane holds the message source. Select a finding, and the source jumps to the exact text that triggered it. A rule name is never abstract: you always see what the rule caught and where.

Findings left, source right#

You can read the message as raw source or as a rendered preview. Drag the divider between the panes to give either side more room.

The left pane offers two views of the same ruleset:

• Matches shows only the rules that fired on this message, each as a finding you can open and trace into the source.
• Rules shows every rule in the set, whether or not it matched, so you can see what the ruleset checks for.

Severity filters narrow the list to one severity: All, Errors, Warnings, and Info. Each filter carries a count. A picker switches between rulesets, and you can create or delete your own rulesets there.

Start with the Matches view#

Most of the time you start on Matches. Open each finding to read what it means. Use the highlight to confirm the finding against the real source. From there:

• Read a match and trace it into the source
• Switch between raw source and the rendered message
• Understand the built-in ruleset
• Write your own rules
