Fields

The following fields are returned by SELECT queries:

get_rule

Name	Datatype	Description
metric_name	string	A friendly name or description for the metrics for this Rule. 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 Rule. (pattern: <code>.\S.</code>)
name	string	The friendly name or description for the Rule. You can't change the name of a Rule after you create it. (pattern: <code>.\S.</code>)
predicates	array	The Predicates object contains one Predicate element for each ByteMatchSet, IPSet, or SqlInjectionMatchSet object that you want to include in a Rule.
rule_id	string	A unique identifier 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. (pattern: <code>.\S.</code>)

list_rules

Name	Datatype	Description
name	string	A friendly name or description of the Rule. You can't change the name of a Rule after you create it. (pattern: <code>.\S.</code>)
rule_id	string	A unique identifier 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 one from a WebACL (see UpdateWebACL), or delete a Rule from AWS WAF (see DeleteRule). RuleId is returned by CreateRule and by ListRules. (pattern: <code>.\S.</code>)

Methods

The following methods are available for this resource:

Name	Accessible by	Required Params	Optional Params	Description
get_rule	select	region		This is AWS WAF Classic documentation. For more information, see AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide. For the latest version of AWS WAF, use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the AWS WAF Developer Guide. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use. Returns the Rule that is specified by the RuleId that you included in the GetRule request.
list_rules	select	region		This is AWS WAF Classic documentation. For more information, see AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide. For the latest version of AWS WAF, use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the AWS WAF Developer Guide. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use. Returns an array of RuleSummary objects.
create_rule	insert	region, MetricName, ChangeToken		This is AWS WAF Classic documentation. For more information, see AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide. For the latest version of AWS WAF, use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the AWS WAF Developer Guide. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use. Creates a Rule, which contains the IPSet objects, ByteMatchSet objects, and other predicates that identify the requests that you want to block. If you add more than one predicate to a Rule, a request must match all of the specifications to be allowed or blocked. For example, suppose that you add the following to a Rule: An IPSet that matches the IP address 192.0.2.44/32 A ByteMatchSet that matches BadBot in the User-Agent header You then add the Rule to a WebACL and specify that you want to blocks requests that satisfy the Rule. For a request to be blocked, it must come from the IP address 192.0.2.44 and the User-Agent header in the request must contain the value BadBot. To create and configure a Rule, perform the following steps: Create and update the predicates that you want to include in the Rule. For more information, see CreateByteMatchSet, CreateIPSet, and CreateSqlInjectionMatchSet. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of a CreateRule request. Submit a CreateRule request. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of an UpdateRule request. Submit an UpdateRule request to specify the predicates that you want to include in the Rule. Create and update a WebACL that contains the Rule. For more information, see CreateWebACL. For more information about how to use the AWS WAF API to allow or block HTTP requests, see the AWS WAF Developer Guide.
update_rule	update	region, RuleId, ChangeToken, Updates		This is AWS WAF Classic documentation. For more information, see AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide. For the latest version of AWS WAF, use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the AWS WAF Developer Guide. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use. Inserts or deletes Predicate objects in a Rule. Each Predicate object identifies a predicate, such as a ByteMatchSet or an IPSet, that specifies the web requests that you want to allow, block, or count. If you add more than one predicate to a Rule, a request must match all of the specifications to be allowed, blocked, or counted. For example, suppose that you add the following to a Rule: A ByteMatchSet that matches the value BadBot in the User-Agent header An IPSet that matches the IP address 192.0.2.44 You then add the Rule to a WebACL and specify that you want to block requests that satisfy the Rule. For a request to be blocked, the User-Agent header in the request must contain the value BadBot and the request must originate from the IP address 192.0.2.44. To create and configure a Rule, perform the following steps: Create and update the predicates that you want to include in the Rule. Create the Rule. See CreateRule. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of an UpdateRule request. Submit an UpdateRule request to add predicates to the Rule. Create and update a WebACL that contains the Rule. See CreateWebACL. If you want to replace one ByteMatchSet or IPSet with another, you delete the existing one and add the new one. For more information about how to use the AWS WAF API to allow or block HTTP requests, see the AWS WAF Developer Guide.
delete_rule	delete	region		This is AWS WAF Classic documentation. For more information, see AWS WAF Classic in the developer guide. For the latest version of AWS WAF, use the AWS WAFV2 API and see the AWS WAF Developer Guide. With the latest version, AWS WAF has a single set of endpoints for regional and global use. Permanently deletes a Rule. You can't delete a Rule if it's still used in any WebACL objects or if it still includes any predicates, such as ByteMatchSet objects. If you just want to remove a Rule from a WebACL, use UpdateWebACL. To permanently delete a Rule from AWS WAF, perform the following steps: Update the Rule to remove predicates, if any. For more information, see UpdateRule. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of a DeleteRule request. Submit a DeleteRule request.

Parameters

Parameters can be passed in the WHERE clause of a query. Check the Methods section to see which parameters are required or optional for each operation.

Name	Datatype	Description
region	string	AWS region (default: us-east-1)
