Fields

The following fields are returned by SELECT queries:

get_web_acl

Name	Datatype	Description
default_action	object	The action to perform if none of the Rules contained in the WebACL match. The action is specified by the WafAction object.
metric_name	string	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. (pattern: <code>.\S.</code>)

rules	array	An array that contains the action for each Rule in a WebACL, the priority of the Rule, and the ID of the Rule.
web_acl_arn	string	Tha Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the web ACL. (pattern: <code>.\S.</code>)
web_acl_id	string	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. (pattern: <code>.\S.</code>)

Methods

The following methods are available for this resource:

Name	Accessible by	Required Params	Optional Params	Description
get_web_acl	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 WebACL that is specified by WebACLId.
create_web_acl	insert	region, Name, MetricName, DefaultAction, 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 WebACL, which contains the Rules that identify the CloudFront web requests that you want to allow, block, or count. AWS WAF evaluates Rules in order based on the value of Priority for each Rule. You also specify a default action, either ALLOW or BLOCK. If a web request doesn't match any of the Rules in a WebACL, AWS WAF responds to the request with the default action. To create and configure a WebACL, perform the following steps: Create and update the ByteMatchSet objects and other predicates that you want to include in Rules. For more information, see CreateByteMatchSet, UpdateByteMatchSet, CreateIPSet, UpdateIPSet, CreateSqlInjectionMatchSet, and UpdateSqlInjectionMatchSet. Create and update the Rules that you want to include in the WebACL. For more information, see CreateRule and UpdateRule. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of a CreateWebACL request. Submit a CreateWebACL request. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of an UpdateWebACL request. Submit an UpdateWebACL request to specify the Rules that you want to include in the WebACL, to specify the default action, and to associate the WebACL with a CloudFront distribution. For more information about how to use the AWS WAF API, see the AWS WAF Developer Guide.
create_web_acl_migration_stack	insert	region, WebACLId, S3BucketName, IgnoreUnsupportedType		Creates an AWS CloudFormation WAFV2 template for the specified web ACL in the specified Amazon S3 bucket. Then, in CloudFormation, you create a stack from the template, to create the web ACL and its resources in AWS WAFV2. Use this to migrate your AWS WAF Classic web ACL to the latest version of AWS WAF. This is part of a larger migration procedure for web ACLs from AWS WAF Classic to the latest version of AWS WAF. For the full procedure, including caveats and manual steps to complete the migration and switch over to the new web ACL, see Migrating your AWS WAF Classic resources to AWS WAF in the AWS WAF Developer Guide.
update_web_acl	update	region, WebACLId, 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. Inserts or deletes ActivatedRule objects in a WebACL. Each Rule identifies web requests that you want to allow, block, or count. When you update a WebACL, you specify the following values: A default action for the WebACL, either ALLOW or BLOCK. AWS WAF performs the default action if a request doesn't match the criteria in any of the Rules in a WebACL. The Rules that you want to add or delete. If you want to replace one Rule with another, you delete the existing Rule and add the new one. For each Rule, whether you want AWS WAF to allow requests, block requests, or count requests that match the conditions in the Rule. The order in which you want AWS WAF to evaluate the Rules in a WebACL. If you add more than one Rule to a WebACL, AWS WAF evaluates each request against the Rules in order based on the value of Priority. (The Rule that has the lowest value for Priority is evaluated first.) When a web request matches all the predicates (such as ByteMatchSets and IPSets) in a Rule, AWS WAF immediately takes the corresponding action, allow or block, and doesn't evaluate the request against the remaining Rules in the WebACL, if any. To create and configure a WebACL, perform the following steps: Create and update the predicates that you want to include in Rules. For more information, see CreateByteMatchSet, UpdateByteMatchSet, CreateIPSet, UpdateIPSet, CreateSqlInjectionMatchSet, and UpdateSqlInjectionMatchSet. Create and update the Rules that you want to include in the WebACL. For more information, see CreateRule and UpdateRule. Create a WebACL. See CreateWebACL. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of an UpdateWebACL request. Submit an UpdateWebACL request to specify the Rules that you want to include in the WebACL, to specify the default action, and to associate the WebACL with a CloudFront distribution. The ActivatedRule can be a rule group. If you specify a rule group as your ActivatedRule , you can exclude specific rules from that rule group. If you already have a rule group associated with a web ACL and want to submit an UpdateWebACL request to exclude certain rules from that rule group, you must first remove the rule group from the web ACL, the re-insert it again, specifying the excluded rules. For details, see ActivatedRule$ExcludedRules . Be aware that if you try to add a RATE_BASED rule to a web ACL without setting the rule type when first creating the rule, the UpdateWebACL request will fail because the request tries to add a REGULAR rule (the default rule type) with the specified ID, which does not exist. For more information about how to use the AWS WAF API to allow or block HTTP requests, see the AWS WAF Developer Guide.
delete_web_acl	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 WebACL. You can't delete a WebACL if it still contains any Rules. To delete a WebACL, perform the following steps: Update the WebACL to remove Rules, if any. For more information, see UpdateWebACL. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of a DeleteWebACL request. Submit a DeleteWebACL request.

Parameters

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 ActivatedRule objects in a WebACL. Each Rule identifies web requests that you want to allow, block, or count. When you update a WebACL, you specify the following values: A default action for the WebACL, either ALLOW or BLOCK. AWS WAF performs the default action if a request doesn't match the criteria in any of the Rules in a WebACL. The Rules that you want to add or delete. If you want to replace one Rule with another, you delete the existing Rule and add the new one. For each Rule, whether you want AWS WAF to allow requests, block requests, or count requests that match the conditions in the Rule.
