Note
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 RateBasedRule . The RateBasedRule
contains a RateLimit
, which specifies the maximum number of requests that AWS WAF allows from a specified IP address in a five-minute period. The RateBasedRule
also contains the IPSet
objects, ByteMatchSet
objects, and other predicates that identify the requests that you want to count or block if these requests exceed the RateLimit
.
If you add more than one predicate to a RateBasedRule
, a request not only must exceed the RateLimit
, but it also must match all the conditions to be counted or blocked. For example, suppose you add the following to a RateBasedRule
:
An IPSet
that matches the IP address 192.0.2.44/32
A ByteMatchSet
that matches BadBot
in the User-Agent
header
Further, you specify a RateLimit
of 1,000.
You then add the RateBasedRule
to a WebACL
and specify that you want to block requests that meet the conditions in 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
. Further, requests that match these two conditions must be received at a rate of more than 1,000 requests every five minutes. If both conditions are met and the rate is exceeded, AWS WAF blocks the requests. If the rate drops below 1,000 for a five-minute period, AWS WAF no longer blocks the requests.
As a second example, suppose you want to limit requests to a particular page on your site. To do this, you could add the following to a RateBasedRule
:
A ByteMatchSet
with FieldToMatch
of URI
A PositionalConstraint
of STARTS_WITH
A TargetString
of login
Further, you specify a RateLimit
of 1,000.
By adding this RateBasedRule
to a WebACL
, you could limit requests to your login page without affecting the rest of your site.
To create and configure a RateBasedRule
, 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 CreateRateBasedRule
request.
Use GetChangeToken
to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken
parameter of an UpdateRule request.
Submit an UpdateRateBasedRule
request to specify the predicates that you want to include in the rule.
Create and update a WebACL
that contains the RateBasedRule
. 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 .

A friendly name or description of the RateBasedRule . You can’t change the name of a
RateBasedRule
after you create it.
--metric-name
(string)
A friendly name or description for the metrics for this
RateBasedRule
. 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 the name of the metric after you create theRateBasedRule

--rate-key

that is specified in theRateBasedRule
.Possible values:
IP
--rate-limit

The maximum number of requests, which have an identical value in the field that is specified by

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.
A tag associated with an AWS resource. Tags are key:value pairs that you can use to categorize and manage your resources, for purposes like billing. For example, you might set the tag key to “customer” and the value to the customer name or ID. You can specify one or more tags to add to each AWS resource, up to 50 tags for a resource.
Tagging is only available through the API, SDKs, and CLI. You can’t manage or view tags through the AWS WAF Classic console. You can tag the AWS resources that you manage through AWS WAF Classic: web ACLs, rule groups, and rules.
Key -> (string)
Value -> (string)
Shorthand Syntax:
Key=string,Value=string ...JSON Syntax:
[ { "Key": "string", "Value": "string" } ... ]
--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 valueinput
, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for--cli-input-json
. Similarly, if providedyaml-input
it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with--cli-input-yaml
. If provided with the valueoutput
, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.Global Options¶
--debug
(boolean)Turn on debug logging.
--endpoint-url
(string)Override command’s default URL with the given URL.
--no-verify-ssl
(boolean)By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.
--no-paginate
(boolean)Disable automatic pagination.
--output
(string)The formatting style for command output.
json
text
table
yaml
yaml-stream
--query
(string)A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.
--profile
(string)Use a specific profile from your credential file.
--region
(string)The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.
--version
(string)Display the version of this tool.
--color
(string)Turn on/off color output.
on
off
auto
--no-sign-request
(boolean)Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.
--ca-bundle
(string)The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.
--cli-read-timeout
(int)The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.
--cli-connect-timeout
(int)The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.
--cli-binary-format
(string)The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob
fileb://
will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of thecli-binary-format
setting. When usingfile://
the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configuredcli-binary-format
.
base64
raw-in-base64-out
--no-cli-pager
(boolean)Disable cli pager for output.
--cli-auto-prompt
(boolean)Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.
--no-cli-auto-prompt
(boolean)Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.
