Overview

Name	byte_match_sets
Type	Resource
Id	aws.waf_regional.byte_match_sets

Fields

The following fields are returned by SELECT queries:

get_byte_match_set

Name	Datatype	Description
byte_match_set_id	string	The ByteMatchSetId for a ByteMatchSet. You use ByteMatchSetId to get information about a ByteMatchSet (see GetByteMatchSet), update a ByteMatchSet (see UpdateByteMatchSet), insert a ByteMatchSet into a Rule or delete one from a Rule (see UpdateRule), and delete a ByteMatchSet from AWS WAF (see DeleteByteMatchSet). ByteMatchSetId is returned by CreateByteMatchSet and by ListByteMatchSets. (pattern: <code>.\S.</code>)
byte_match_tuples	array	Specifies the bytes (typically a string that corresponds with ASCII characters) that you want AWS WAF to search for in web requests, the location in requests that you want AWS WAF to search, and other settings.
name	string	A friendly name or description of the ByteMatchSet. You can't change Name after you create a ByteMatchSet. (pattern: <code>.\S.</code>)

list_byte_match_sets

Name	Datatype	Description
byte_match_sets	array	An array of ByteMatchSetSummary objects.
next_marker	string	If you have more ByteMatchSet objects than the number that you specified for Limit in the request, the response includes a NextMarker value. To list more ByteMatchSet objects, submit another ListByteMatchSets request, and specify the NextMarker value from the response in the NextMarker value in the next request. (pattern: <code>.\S.</code>)

Methods

The following methods are available for this resource:

Name	Accessible by	Required Params	Optional Params	Description
get_byte_match_set	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 ByteMatchSet specified by ByteMatchSetId.
list_byte_match_sets	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 ByteMatchSetSummary objects.
create_byte_match_set	insert	region, Name, 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 ByteMatchSet. You then use UpdateByteMatchSet to identify the part of a web request that you want AWS WAF to inspect, such as the values of the User-Agent header or the query string. For example, you can create a ByteMatchSet that matches any requests with User-Agent headers that contain the string BadBot. You can then configure AWS WAF to reject those requests. To create and configure a ByteMatchSet, perform the following steps: Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of a CreateByteMatchSet request. Submit a CreateByteMatchSet request. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of an UpdateByteMatchSet request. Submit an UpdateByteMatchSet request to specify the part of the request that you want AWS WAF to inspect (for example, the header or the URI) and the value that you want AWS WAF to watch for. For more information about how to use the AWS WAF API to allow or block HTTP requests, see the AWS WAF Developer Guide.
update_byte_match_set	update	region, ByteMatchSetId, 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 ByteMatchTuple objects (filters) in a ByteMatchSet. For each ByteMatchTuple object, you specify the following values: Whether to insert or delete the object from the array. If you want to change a ByteMatchSetUpdate object, you delete the existing object and add a new one. The part of a web request that you want AWS WAF to inspect, such as a query string or the value of the User-Agent header. The bytes (typically a string that corresponds with ASCII characters) that you want AWS WAF to look for. For more information, including how you specify the values for the AWS WAF API and the AWS CLI or SDKs, see TargetString in the ByteMatchTuple data type. Where to look, such as at the beginning or the end of a query string. Whether to perform any conversions on the request, such as converting it to lowercase, before inspecting it for the specified string. For example, you can add a ByteMatchSetUpdate object that matches web requests in which User-Agent headers contain the string BadBot. You can then configure AWS WAF to block those requests. To create and configure a ByteMatchSet, perform the following steps: Create a ByteMatchSet. For more information, see CreateByteMatchSet. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of an UpdateByteMatchSet request. Submit an UpdateByteMatchSet request to specify the part of the request that you want AWS WAF to inspect (for example, the header or the URI) and the value that you want AWS WAF to watch for. For more information about how to use the AWS WAF API to allow or block HTTP requests, see the AWS WAF Developer Guide.
delete_byte_match_set	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 ByteMatchSet. You can't delete a ByteMatchSet if it's still used in any Rules or if it still includes any ByteMatchTuple objects (any filters). If you just want to remove a ByteMatchSet from a Rule, use UpdateRule. To permanently delete a ByteMatchSet, perform the following steps: Update the ByteMatchSet to remove filters, if any. For more information, see UpdateByteMatchSet. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of a DeleteByteMatchSet request. Submit a DeleteByteMatchSet 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.
