Interceptor Templates

About Interceptor Templates

An interceptor template is a reusable blueprint for creating interceptors in DIAL. It allows to save time on similar interceptors configuration.

Refer to Interceptors to learn more.

Main Screen

On the main screen, you can add and manage Interceptor Templates you have in your DIAL instance.

Interceptor Templates Grid

Field	Definition
Display name	A user-friendly label for the interceptor template (e.g. “PII Obfuscator”, "Words Blacklist", etc.). Helps you pick the right one when configuring an interceptor.
ID	The unique identifier used internally.
Description	Free-text notes about the interceptor template and how it can be used.
Updated time	Timestamp for changes tracking and audit evidence (e.g., to verify when the last change was done).

Create

On the main screen of Interceptor Templates, you can create a new interceptor template by following these steps:

1. Click + Create to invoke the Interceptor Template modal.

2. Define key parameters for the new interceptor template:

   Field	Required	Definition
   ID	Yes	The unique identifier used internally.
   Display name	No	A user-friendly label for the interceptor template (e.g. “PII Obfuscator”, "Words Blacklist", etc.). Helps you pick the right one when configuring an interceptor.
   Description	No	Free-text notes about the interceptor template and how it can be used.

3. Once all required fields are filled, click Create. The dialog closes and the new template configuration screen is opened. A new template will appear immediately in the listing once created. It may take some time for the changes to take effect after saving.

   

Delete

To delete an interceptor template, follow these steps:

1. From the main screen, select the interceptor template you want to delete by clicking on its row.
2. Click the Delete button in the top-right corner of the configuration screen.
3. A confirmation dialog will appear. Review the information carefully, as deleting an interceptor template will also remove all related interceptors bound to it.
4. If you are sure you want to proceed, click Delete in the confirmation dialog. The interceptor template and all related interceptors will be permanently removed from the system.

IMPORTANT: This action is irreversible. Ensure that you have reviewed all dependencies before confirming the deletion.

Configuration

Click on an interceptor template from the main screen to open its configuration screen.
