list-available-managed-rule-groups¶

Description¶

Retrieves an array of managed rule groups that are available for you to use. This list includes all AWS Managed Rules rule groups and the AWS Marketplace managed rule groups that you’re subscribed to.

Synopsis¶

  list-available-managed-rule-groups
--scope <value>
[--next-marker <value>]
[--limit <value>]
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options¶

--scope (string)

Specifies whether this is for an AWS CloudFront distribution or for a regional application. A regional application can be an Application Load Balancer (ALB), an API Gateway REST API, or an AppSync GraphQL API.

To work with CloudFront, you must also specify the Region US East (N. Virginia) as follows:

CLI - Specify the Region when you use the CloudFront scope: --scope=CLOUDFRONT --region=us-east-1 .

API and SDKs - For all calls, use the Region endpoint us-east-1.

Possible values:

CLOUDFRONT

REGIONAL

--next-marker (string)

When you request a list of objects with a Limit setting, if the number of objects that are still available for retrieval exceeds the limit, AWS WAF returns a NextMarker value in the response. To retrieve the next batch of objects, provide the marker from the prior call in your next request.

--limit (integer)

The maximum number of objects that you want AWS WAF to return for this request. If more objects are available, in the response, AWS WAF provides a NextMarker value that you can use in a subsequent call to get the next batch of objects.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.
