arn
Type: STRING
Provider name: ARN
Description: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the entity.
available_labels
Type: UNORDERED_LIST_STRUCT
Provider name: AvailableLabels
Description: The labels that one or more rules in this rule group add to matching web requests. These labels are defined in the RuleLabels
for a Rule.
name
Type: STRING
Provider name: Name

capacity
Type: INT64
Provider name: Capacity
Description: The web ACL capacity units (WCUs) required for this rule group. When you create your own rule group, you define this, and you cannot change it after creation. When you add or modify the rules in a rule group, WAF enforces this limit. You can check the capacity for a set of rules using CheckCapacity. WAF uses WCUs to calculate and control the operating resources that are used to run your rules, rule groups, and web ACLs. WAF calculates capacity differently for each rule type, to reflect the relative cost of each rule. Simple rules that cost little to run use fewer WCUs than more complex rules that use more processing power. Rule group capacity is fixed at creation, which helps users plan their web ACL WCU usage when they use a rule group. For more information, see WAF web ACL capacity units (WCU) in the WAF Developer Guide.
consumed_labels

and delete
. WAF uses the token to ensure that no changes have been made to the entity since you last retrieved it. If a change has been made, the update fails with a WAFOptimisticLockException
. If this happens, perform another get
, and use the new token returned by that operation.

Type: STRUCT
Provider name: JA3Fingerprint
Description: Available for use with Amazon CloudFront distributions and Application Load Balancers. Match against the request’s JA3 fingerprint. The JA3 fingerprint is a 32-character hash derived from the TLS Client Hello of an incoming request. This fingerprint serves as a unique identifier for the client’s TLS configuration. WAF calculates and logs this fingerprint for each request that has enough TLS Client Hello information for the calculation. Almost all web requests include this information. You can use this choice only with a string match ByteMatchStatement

Description: Inspect the request body as JSON. The request body immediately follows the request headers. This is the part of a request that contains any additional data that you want to send to your web server as the HTTP request body, such as data from a form. WAF does not support inspecting the entire contents of the web request body if the body exceeds the limit for the resource type. When a web request body is larger than the limit, the underlying host service only forwards the contents that are within the limit to WAF for inspection.
- For Application Load Balancer and AppSync, the limit is fixed at 8 KB (8,192 bytes).
- For CloudFront, API Gateway, Amazon Cognito, App Runner, and Verified Access, the default limit is 16 KB (16,384 bytes), and you can increase the limit for each resource type in the web ACL
AssociationConfig
, for additional processing fees.
For information about how to handle oversized request bodies, see the JsonBody

- Treat the web request as matching the rule statement. WAF applies the rule action to the request.NO_MATCH
- Treat the web request as not matching the rule statement.
If you don’t provide this setting, WAF parses and evaluates the content only up to the first parsing failure that it encounters. WAF parsing doesn’t fully validate the input JSON string, so parsing can succeed even for invalid JSON. When parsing succeeds, WAF doesn’t apply the fallback behavior. For more information, see JSON body in the WAF Developer Guide.

text_transformations
Type: UNORDERED_LIST_STRUCT
Provider name: TextTransformations
Description: Text transformations eliminate some of the unusual formatting that attackers use in web requests in an effort to bypass detection. Text transformations are used in rule match statements, to transform the FieldToMatch
request component before inspecting it, and they’re used in rate-based rule statements, to transform request components before using them as custom aggregation keys. If you specify one or more transformations to apply, WAF performs all transformations on the specified content, starting from the lowest priority setting, and then uses the transformed component contents.
priority
Type: INT32
Provider name: Priority
Description: Sets the relative processing order for multiple transformations. WAF processes all transformations, from lowest priority to highest, before inspecting the transformed content. The priorities don’t need to be consecutive, but they must all be different.

Type: STRING
Provider name: Type
Description: For detailed descriptions of each of the transformation types, see Text transformations in the WAF Developer Guide.
geo_match_statement
Type: STRUCT
Provider name: GeoMatchStatement
Description: A rule statement that labels web requests by country and region and that matches against web requests based on country code. A geo match rule labels every request that it inspects regardless of whether it finds a match.- To manage requests only by country, you can use this statement by itself and specify the countries that you want to match against in the
CountryCodes
array. - Otherwise, configure your geo match rule with Count action so that it only labels requests. Then, add one or more label match rules to run after the geo match rule and configure them to match against the geographic labels and handle the requests as needed.
WAF labels requests using the alpha-2 country and region codes from the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 3166 standard. WAF determines the codes using either the IP address in the web request origin or, if you specify it, the address in the geo match ForwardedIPConfig
. If you use the web request origin, the label formats are awswaf:clientip:geo:region:<ISO country code>-<ISO region code>
and awswaf:clientip:geo:country:<ISO country code>
. If you use a forwarded IP address, the label formats are awswaf:forwardedip:geo:region:<ISO country code>-<ISO region code>
and awswaf:forwardedip:geo:country:<ISO country code>
. For additional details, see Geographic match rule statement in the WAF Developer Guide.

Provider name: CountryCodes
Description: An array of two-character country codes that you want to match against, for example, [ “US”, “CN” ]
, from the alpha-2 country ISO codes of the ISO 3166 international standard. When you use a geo match statement just for the region and country labels that it adds to requests, you still have to supply a country code for the rule to evaluate. In this case, you configure the rule to only count matching requests, but it will still generate logging and count metrics for any matches. You can reduce the logging and metrics that the rule produces by specifying a country that’s unlikely to be a source of traffic to your site.
forwarded_ip_config
Type: STRUCT
Provider name: ForwardedIPConfig
Description: The configuration for inspecting IP addresses in an HTTP header that you specify, instead of using the IP address that’s reported by the web request origin.

fallback_behavior
Type: STRING
Provider name: FallbackBehavior
Description: The match status to assign to the web request if the request doesn’t have a valid IP address in the specified position. If the specified header isn’t present in the request, WAF doesn’t apply the rule to the web request at all. You can specify the following fallback behaviors:MATCH
- Treat the web request as matching the rule statement. WAF applies the rule action to the request.NO_MATCH
- Treat the web request as not matching the rule statement.
header_name
Type: STRING
Provider name: HeaderName
Description: The name of the HTTP header to use for the IP address. For example, to use the X-Forwarded-For (XFF) header, set this to X-Forwarded-For

Provider name: ARN
Description: The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the IPSet that this statement references.
ip_set_forwarded_ip_config
Type: STRUCT
Provider name: IPSetForwardedIPConfig

fallback_behavior
Type: STRING
Provider name: FallbackBehavior
Description: The match status to assign to the web request if the request doesn’t have a valid IP address in the specified position. If the specified header isn’t present in the request, WAF doesn’t apply the rule to the web request at all. You can specify the following fallback behaviors:MATCH
- Treat the web request as matching the rule statement. WAF applies the rule action to the request.NO_MATCH
- Treat the web request as not matching the rule statement.
header_name
Type: STRING
Provider name: HeaderName
Description: The name of the HTTP header to use for the IP address. For example, to use the X-Forwarded-For (XFF) header, set this to X-Forwarded-For
. If the specified header isn’t present in the request, WAF doesn’t apply the rule to the web request at all.
position
Type: STRING
Provider name: Position
Description: The position in the header to search for the IP address. The header can contain IP addresses of the original client and also of proxies. For example, the header value could be 10.1.1.1, 127.0.0.0, 10.10.10.10
where the first IP address identifies the original client and the rest identify proxies that the request went through. The options for this setting are the following:- FIRST - Inspect the first IP address in the list of IP addresses in the header. This is usually the client’s original IP.
- LAST - Inspect the last IP address in the list of IP addresses in the header.
- ANY - Inspect all IP addresses in the header for a match. If the header contains more than 10 IP addresses, WAF inspects the last 10.
label_match_statement
Type: STRUCT
Provider name: LabelMatchStatement
Description: A rule statement to match against labels that have been added to the web request by rules that have already run in the web ACL. The label match statement provides the label or namespace string to search for. The label string can represent a part or all of the fully qualified label name that had been added to the web request. Fully qualified labels have a prefix, optional namespaces, and label name. The prefix identifies the rule group or web ACL context of the rule that added the label. If you do not provide the fully qualified name in your label match string, WAF performs the search for labels that were added in the same context as the label match statement.
key

Scope
indicates NAMESPACE
, then this specification can include any number of contiguous namespace strings, and can include the entire label namespace prefix from the rule group or web ACL where the label originates.
Labels are case sensitive and components of a label must be separated by colon, for example NS1:NS2:name
.
scope

request component before inspecting it, and they’re used in rate-based rule statements, to transform request components before using them as custom aggregation keys. If you specify one or more transformations to apply, WAF performs all transformations on the specified content, starting from the lowest priority setting, and then uses the transformed component contents.
priority
Type: INT32
Provider name: Priority
Description: Sets the relative processing order for multiple transformations. WAF processes all transformations, from lowest priority to highest, before inspecting the transformed content. The priorities don’t need to be consecutive, but they must all be different.

- Treat the web request as matching the rule statement. WAF applies the rule action to the request.NO_MATCH
- Treat the web request as not matching the rule statement.
You can combine the MATCH
or NO_MATCH
settings for oversize handling with your rule and web ACL action settings, so that you block any request whose body is over the limit.
Default: CONTINUE
cookies
Type: STRUCT
Provider name: Cookies
Description: Inspect the request cookies. You must configure scope and pattern matching filters in the Cookies
object, to define the set of cookies and the parts of the cookies that WAF inspects. Only the first 8 KB (8192 bytes) of a request’s cookies and only the first 200 cookies are forwarded to WAF for inspection by the underlying host service. You must configure how to handle any oversize cookie content in the Cookies
object. WAF applies the pattern matching filters to the cookies that it receives from the underlying host service.
match_pattern
Type: STRUCT
Provider name: MatchPattern
Description: The filter to use to identify the subset of cookies to inspect in a web request. You must specify exactly one setting: either All
, IncludedCookies
, or ExcludedCookies
. Example JSON: “MatchPattern”: { “IncludedCookies”: [ “session-id-time”, “session-id” ] }
all
Type: STRUCT
Provider name: All
Description: Inspect all cookies.

Provider name: IncludedCookies
Description: Inspect only the cookies that have a key that matches one of the strings specified here.
match_scope
Type: STRING
Provider name: MatchScope
Description: The parts of the cookies to inspect with the rule inspection criteria. If you specify ALL

Description: What WAF should do if the cookies of the request are more numerous or larger than WAF can inspect. WAF does not support inspecting the entire contents of request cookies when they exceed 8 KB (8192 bytes) or 200 total cookies. The underlying host service forwards a maximum of 200 cookies and at most 8 KB of cookie contents to WAF. The options for oversize handling are the following:CONTINUE
- Inspect the available cookies normally, according to the rule inspection criteria.MATCH
- Treat the web request as matching the rule statement. WAF applies the rule action to the request.NO_MATCH
- Treat the web request as not matching the rule statement.
header_order
Type: STRUCT
Provider name: HeaderOrder
Description: Inspect a string containing the list of the request’s header names, ordered as they appear in the web request that WAF receives for inspection. WAF generates the string and then uses that as the field to match component in its inspection. WAF separates the header names in the string using colons and no added spaces, for example host:user-agent:accept:authorization:referer
.
oversize_handling
Type: STRING
Provider name: OversizeHandling
Description: What WAF should do if the headers of the request are more numerous or larger than WAF can inspect. WAF does not support inspecting the entire contents of request headers when they exceed 8 KB (8192 bytes) or 200 total headers.

- Treat the web request as not matching the rule statement.
headers
Type: STRUCT
Provider name: Headers
Description: Inspect the request headers. You must configure scope and pattern matching filters in the Headers
object, to define the set of headers to and the parts of the headers that WAF inspects. Only the first 8 KB (8192 bytes) of a request’s headers and only the first 200 headers are forwarded to WAF for inspection by the underlying host service. You must configure how to handle any oversize header content in the Headers
object. WAF applies the pattern matching filters to the headers that it receives from the underlying host service.
match_pattern

Description: Inspect only the headers that have a key that matches one of the strings specified here.
match_scope
Type: STRING
Provider name: MatchScope
Description: The parts of the headers to match with the rule inspection criteria. If you specify ALL
, WAF inspects both keys and values. All
does not require a match to be found in the keys and a match to be found in the values. It requires a match to be found in the keys or the values or both. To require a match in the keys and in the values, use a logical AND
statement to combine two match rules, one that inspects the keys and another that inspects the values.
oversize_handling
Type: STRING
Provider name: OversizeHandling
Description: What WAF should do if the headers of the request are more numerous or larger than WAF can inspect. WAF does not support inspecting the entire contents of request headers when they exceed 8 KB (8192 bytes) or 200 total headers. The underlying host service forwards a maximum of 200 headers and at most 8 KB of header contents to WAF. The options for oversize handling are the following:CONTINUE

- Treat the web request as not matching the rule statement.
ja3_fingerprint
Type: STRUCT
Provider name: JA3Fingerprint
Description: Available for use with Amazon CloudFront distributions and Application Load Balancers. Match against the request’s JA3 fingerprint. The JA3 fingerprint is a 32-character hash derived from the TLS Client Hello of an incoming request. This fingerprint serves as a unique identifier for the client’s TLS configuration. WAF calculates and logs this fingerprint for each request that has enough TLS Client Hello information for the calculation. Almost all web requests include this information. You can use this choice only with a string match ByteMatchStatement
with the PositionalConstraint
set to EXACTLY
. You can obtain the JA3 fingerprint for client requests from the web ACL logs. If WAF is able to calculate the fingerprint, it includes it in the logs. For information about the logging fields, see Log fields in the WAF Developer Guide. Provide the JA3 fingerprint string from the logs in your string match statement specification, to match with any future requests that have the same TLS configuration.
fallback_behavior
Type: STRING
Provider name: FallbackBehavior
Description: The match status to assign to the web request if the request doesn’t have a JA3 fingerprint. You can specify the following fallback behaviors:MATCH
- Treat the web request as matching the rule statement. WAF applies the rule action to the request.NO_MATCH
- Treat the web request as not matching the rule statement.
json_body
Type: STRUCT
Provider name: JsonBody
Description: Inspect the request body as JSON. The request body immediately follows the request headers. This is the part of a request that contains any additional data that you want to send to your web server as the HTTP request body, such as data from a form. WAF does not support inspecting the entire contents of the web request body if the body exceeds the limit for the resource type. When a web request body is larger than the limit, the underlying host service only forwards the contents that are within the limit to WAF for inspection.
- For Application Load Balancer and AppSync, the limit is fixed at 8 KB (8,192 bytes).
- For CloudFront, API Gateway, Amazon Cognito, App Runner, and Verified Access, the default limit is 16 KB (16,384 bytes), and you can increase the limit for each resource type in the web ACL
AssociationConfig
, for additional processing fees.
For information about how to handle oversized request bodies, see the JsonBody
object configuration.
invalid_fallback_behavior
Type: STRING
Provider name: InvalidFallbackBehavior
Description: What WAF should do if it fails to completely parse the JSON body. The options are the following:EVALUATE_AS_STRING
- Inspect the body as plain text. WAF applies the text transformations and inspection criteria that you defined for the JSON inspection to the body text string.MATCH
- Treat the web request as matching the rule statement. WAF applies the rule action to the request.NO_MATCH
- Treat the web request as not matching the rule statement.
If you don’t provide this setting, WAF parses and evaluates the content only up to the first parsing failure that it encounters. WAF parsing doesn’t fully validate the input JSON string, so parsing can succeed even for invalid JSON. When parsing succeeds, WAF doesn’t apply the fallback behavior. For more information, see JSON body in the WAF Developer Guide.
match_pattern
Type: STRUCT
Provider name: MatchPattern
Description: The patterns to look for in the JSON body. WAF inspects the results of these pattern matches against the rule inspection criteria.
all
Type: STRUCT
Provider name: All
Description: Match all of the elements. See also MatchScope
in JsonBody. You must specify either this setting or the IncludedPaths
setting, but not both.
included_paths
Type: UNORDERED_LIST_STRING
Provider name: IncludedPaths
Description: Match only the specified include paths. See also MatchScope
in JsonBody. Provide the include paths using JSON Pointer syntax. For example, “IncludedPaths”: ["/dogs/0/name", “/dogs/1/name”]
. For information about this syntax, see the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) documentation JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) Pointer. You must specify either this setting or the All
setting, but not both. Don’t use this option to include all paths. Instead, use the All
setting.
match_scope
Type: STRING
Provider name: MatchScope
Description: The parts of the JSON to match against using the MatchPattern
. If you specify ALL
, WAF matches against keys and values. All
does not require a match to be found in the keys and a match to be found in the values. It requires a match to be found in the keys or the values or both. To require a match in the keys and in the values, use a logical AND
statement to combine two match rules, one that inspects the keys and another that inspects the values.
oversize_handling
Type: STRING
Provider name: OversizeHandling
Description: What WAF should do if the body is larger than WAF can inspect. WAF does not support inspecting the entire contents of the web request body if the body exceeds the limit for the resource type. When a web request body is larger than the limit, the underlying host service only forwards the contents that are within the limit to WAF for inspection.- For Application Load Balancer and AppSync, the limit is fixed at 8 KB (8,192 bytes).
- For CloudFront, API Gateway, Amazon Cognito, App Runner, and Verified Access, the default limit is 16 KB (16,384 bytes), and you can increase the limit for each resource type in the web ACL
AssociationConfig
, for additional processing fees.
The options for oversize handling are the following:CONTINUE
- Inspect the available body contents normally, according to the rule inspection criteria.MATCH
- Treat the web request as matching the rule statement. WAF applies the rule action to the request.NO_MATCH
- Treat the web request as not matching the rule statement.
You can combine the MATCH
or NO_MATCH
settings for oversize handling with your rule and web ACL action settings, so that you block any request whose body is over the limit.
Default: CONTINUE

.
text_transformations
Type: UNORDERED_LIST_STRUCT
Provider name: TextTransformations
Description: Text transformations eliminate some of the unusual formatting that attackers use in web requests in an effort to bypass detection. Text transformations are used in rule match statements, to transform the FieldToMatch
request component before inspecting it, and they’re used in rate-based rule statements, to transform request components before using them as custom aggregation keys. If you specify one or more transformations to apply, WAF performs all transformations on the specified content, starting from the lowest priority setting, and then uses the transformed component contents.
priority
Type: INT32
Provider name: Priority
Description: Sets the relative processing order for multiple transformations. WAF processes all transformations, from lowest priority to highest, before inspecting the transformed content. The priorities don’t need to be consecutive, but they must all be different.

visibility_config
Type: STRUCT
Provider name: VisibilityConfig
Description: Defines and enables Amazon CloudWatch metrics and web request sample collection. If you change the name of a Rule
after you create it and you want the rule’s metric name to reflect the change, update the metric name as well. WAF doesn’t automatically update the metric name.
cloud_watch_metrics_enabled
Type: BOOLEAN
Provider name: CloudWatchMetricsEnabled
Description: Indicates whether the associated resource sends metrics to Amazon CloudWatch. For the list of available metrics, see WAF Metrics in the WAF Developer Guide. For web ACLs, the metrics are for web requests that have the web ACL default action applied.
