TruxtonArtifact

This class lets you add to the Entity table in Truxton.

Attributes and Methods

datatype

The raw data type of the representation of the entity. This corresponds to the DataTypeID column of the Entity table.

fileid

The GUID of the file this artifact came from. This corresponds to the FileID column of the Entity table.

id

This is the GUID of the record. It becomes non-zero after save() has been called. This corresponds to the ID column of the Entity table.

length

The number of bytes in the raw representation of the artifact. This corresponds to the Length column of the Entity table.

mediaid

This is the GUID of the media this artifact came from. This corresponds to the MediaID column of the Entity table.

objectid

This is the GUID of the object this artifact came from. This combined with objecttype allows Truxton to track derivative entities such as a search term coming from a URL found in a browser cache. In this example, fileid would point to the browser cache File record and objectid would point to the record in the WebsiteVisit table.

objecttype

The type of the object. This corresponds to the ObjectTypeID column of the Entity table.

offset

The offset from the beginning of the file where this artifact begins.

type

The type of the artifact is. This corresponds to the EntityTypeID column of the Entity table. It must be a value listed in the ID column of the EntityType table. You can also use a predefined constant.

value

The string representation of the artifact. This corresponds to the Value column of the EntityString table.

save()

This will commit the information to the Entity table. It will return True if the record was saved to the database, False if there was an error.

tag(tag, reason, origin)

This creates a tag associated with this visit in Truxton. The tag parameter is a short, one or two word, bit of text that will be displayed in the UI. The reason a sentence explaining why this visit was tagged. The origin is either TAG_ORIGIN_AUTOMATIC (1) or TAG_ORIGIN_HUMAN (2).
