Tags

A tag is short piece of text that you wish to associate with a request.

A request can have multiple tags associated with it.

Tags can be added and changed using the Manage History Tags dialog.

They can also be automatically added via Passive scanning - this allows you to automatically tag pages which match a particular regular expression.

Tags are shown in the History tab and can be filtered on using the History Filter dialog.

Alert Tags

If a History tag starts with ALERT-TAG: then the tag will also be associated with any alerts raised against that request. The prefix will be dropped, and if the remaining string contains an = character then the alert tag key will be the string up to the first = and the value will be the rest of the string. If there is no = then the key will be the string after the prefix and the value will be blank.
A History tag of ALERT-TAG:AAA=BBB will result in an Alert tag with a key of AAA and a value of BBB, while a History tag of ALERT-TAG:CCC will result in an Alert tag with a key of CCC and a blank value.
