VARCHAR
web_acl

Information about the WebACL that you specified in the GetWebACL request. For more information, see the following topics:

  • WebACL: Contains DefaultAction, MetricName, Name, an array of Rule objects, and WebACLId

  • DefaultAction (Data type is WafAction): Contains Type

  • Rules: Contains an array of ActivatedRule objects, which contain Action, Priority, and RuleId

  • Action: Contains Type

Show child fields
web_acl.default_action

The action to perform if none of the Rules contained in the WebACL match. The action is specified by the WafAction object.

Show child fields
web_acl.default_action.type

Specifies how you want AWS WAF to respond to requests that match the settings in a Rule. Valid settings include the following:

  • ALLOW: AWS WAF allows requests

  • BLOCK: AWS WAF blocks requests

  • COUNT: AWS WAF increments a counter of the requests that match all of the conditions in the rule. AWS WAF then continues to inspect the web request based on the remaining rules in the web ACL. You can't specify COUNT for the default action for a WebACL.

web_acl.metric_name

A friendly name or description for the metrics for this WebACL. The name can contain only alphanumeric characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9), with maximum length 128 and minimum length one. It can't contain whitespace or metric names reserved for AWS WAF, including "All" and "Default_Action." You can't change MetricName after you create the WebACL.

web_acl.name

A friendly name or description of the WebACL. You can't change the name of a WebACL after you create it.

web_acl.rules[]
Show child fields
web_acl.rules[].action

Specifies the action that CloudFront or AWS WAF takes when a web request matches the conditions in the Rule. Valid values for Action include the following:

  • ALLOW: CloudFront responds with the requested object.

  • BLOCK: CloudFront responds with an HTTP 403 (Forbidden) status code.

  • COUNT: AWS WAF increments a counter of requests that match the conditions in the rule and then continues to inspect the web request based on the remaining rules in the web ACL.

ActivatedRule|OverrideAction applies only when updating or adding a RuleGroup to a WebACL. In this case, you do not use ActivatedRule|Action. For all other update requests, ActivatedRule|Action is used instead of ActivatedRule|OverrideAction.

Show child fields
web_acl.rules[].action.type

Specifies how you want AWS WAF to respond to requests that match the settings in a Rule. Valid settings include the following:

  • ALLOW: AWS WAF allows requests

  • BLOCK: AWS WAF blocks requests

  • COUNT: AWS WAF increments a counter of the requests that match all of the conditions in the rule. AWS WAF then continues to inspect the web request based on the remaining rules in the web ACL. You can't specify COUNT for the default action for a WebACL.

web_acl.rules[].excluded_rules[]
Show child fields
web_acl.rules[].excluded_rules[].rule_id

The unique identifier for the rule to exclude from the rule group.

web_acl.rules[].override_action

Use the OverrideAction to test your RuleGroup.

Any rule in a RuleGroup can potentially block a request. If you set the OverrideAction to None, the RuleGroup will block a request if any individual rule in the RuleGroup matches the request and is configured to block that request. However if you first want to test the RuleGroup, set the OverrideAction to Count. The RuleGroup will then override any block action specified by individual rules contained within the group. Instead of blocking matching requests, those requests will be counted. You can view a record of counted requests using GetSampledRequests.

ActivatedRule|OverrideAction applies only when updating or adding a RuleGroup to a WebACL. In this case you do not use ActivatedRule|Action. For all other update requests, ActivatedRule|Action is used instead of ActivatedRule|OverrideAction.

Show child fields
web_acl.rules[].override_action.type

COUNT overrides the action specified by the individual rule within a RuleGroup . If set to NONE, the rule's action will take place.

web_acl.rules[].priority

Specifies the order in which the Rules in a WebACL are evaluated. Rules with a lower value for Priority are evaluated before Rules with a higher value. The value must be a unique integer. If you add multiple Rules to a WebACL, the values don't need to be consecutive.

web_acl.rules[].rule_id

The RuleId for a Rule. You use RuleId to get more information about a Rule (see GetRule), update a Rule (see UpdateRule), insert a Rule into a WebACL or delete a one from a WebACL (see UpdateWebACL), or delete a Rule from AWS WAF (see DeleteRule).

RuleId is returned by CreateRule and by ListRules.

web_acl.rules[].type

The rule type, either REGULAR, as defined by Rule, RATE_BASED, as defined by RateBasedRule, or GROUP, as defined by RuleGroup. The default is REGULAR. Although this field is optional, be aware that if you try to add a RATE_BASED rule to a web ACL without setting the type, the UpdateWebACL request will fail because the request tries to add a REGULAR rule with the specified ID, which does not exist.

web_acl.web_acl_arn

Tha Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the web ACL.

web_acl.web_acl_id

A unique identifier for a WebACL. You use WebACLId to get information about a WebACL (see GetWebACL), update a WebACL (see UpdateWebACL), and delete a WebACL from AWS WAF (see DeleteWebACL).

WebACLId is returned by CreateWebACL and by ListWebACLs.
