Can Containment Rules parse configuration files (e.g., nginx.conf) to create dependencies?

Hi Community,
I have a specific question regarding the capabilities of Containment Rules. I referred to the documentation here: [Link: https://www.servicenow.com/docs/bundle/zurich-servicenow-platform/page/product/configuration-managem...]
The documentation uses .war files as an example for defining containment relationships. My main question is: Is it possible to configure a Containment Rule to read/parse a standard text-based configuration file (not an archive like WAR) to establish a relationship?
Specific Use Case: I want to extract the upstream host defined in Nginx's proxy_pass directive (inside nginx.conf) and map it on the Dependency Views map.
I am trying to determine if Containment Rules are capable of handling this level of file parsing and relationship creation. If this is out of scope for Containment Rules, should I look into customizing the "NGINX Web Server" discovery pattern instead?
Any insights on the limitations of Containment Rules would be appreciated.
Thanks.
