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.
Inserts or deletes Predicate objects in a Rule
. Each Predicate
object identifies a predicate, such as a ByteMatchSet or an IPSet , that specifies the web requests that you want to allow, block, or count. If you add more than one predicate to a Rule
, a request must match all of the specifications to be allowed, blocked, or counted. For example, suppose that you add the following to a Rule
:
A ByteMatchSet
that matches the value BadBot
in the User-Agent
header
An IPSet
that matches the IP address 192.0.2.44
You then add the Rule
to a WebACL
and specify that you want to block requests that satisfy the Rule
. For a request to be blocked, the User-Agent
header in the request must contain the value BadBot
and the request must originate from the IP address 192.0.2.44.
To create and configure a Rule
, perform the following steps:
Create and update the predicates that you want to include in the Rule
.
Create the Rule
. See CreateRule .
Use GetChangeToken
to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken
parameter of an UpdateRule request.
Submit an UpdateRule
request to add predicates to the Rule
.
Create and update a WebACL
that contains the Rule
. See CreateWebACL .
If you want to replace one ByteMatchSet
or IPSet
with another, you delete the existing one and add the new one.
For more information about how to use the AWS WAF API to allow or block HTTP requests, see the AWS WAF Developer Guide .

Specifies a
Predicate
(such as anIPSet
) and indicates whether you want to add it to aRule
or delete it from aRule
.Action -> (string)
Specify
INSERT
to add aPredicate
to aRule
. UseDELETE
to remove aPredicate
from aRule
.Predicate -> (structure)
The ID of the
Predicate
(such as anIPSet
) that you want to add to aRule
.Negated -> (boolean)
Set
Negated
toFalse
if you want AWS WAF to allow, block, or count requests based on the settings in the specified ByteMatchSet , IPSet , SqlInjectionMatchSet , XssMatchSet , RegexMatchSet , GeoMatchSet , or SizeConstraintSet . For example, if anIPSet
includes the IP address192.0.2.44
, AWS WAF will allow or block requests based on that IP address.Set
Negated
toTrue
if you want AWS WAF to allow or block a request based on the negation of the settings in the ByteMatchSet , IPSet , SqlInjectionMatchSet , XssMatchSet , RegexMatchSet , GeoMatchSet , or SizeConstraintSet . For example, if anIPSet
includes the IP address192.0.2.44
, AWS WAF will allow, block, or count requests based on all IP addresses except192.0.2.44
.Type -> (string)
The type of predicate in a
Rule
, such asByteMatch
orIPSet
.DataId -> (string)
A unique identifier for a predicate in a
Rule
, such asByteMatchSetId
orIPSetId
. The ID is returned by the correspondingCreate
orList
command.Shorthand Syntax:
Action=string,Predicate={Negated=boolean,Type=string,DataId=string} ...JSON Syntax:
[ { "Action": "INSERT"|"DELETE", "Predicate": { "Negated": true|false, "Type": "IPMatch"|"ByteMatch"|"SqlInjectionMatch"|"GeoMatch"|"SizeConstraint"|"XssMatch"|"RegexMatch", "DataId": "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.
Examples¶
Note
To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.
Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .
To update a rule
The following
update-rule
command deletes a Predicate object in a rule:aws waf update-rule --rule-id a123fae4-b567-8e90-1234-5ab67ac8ca90 --change-token 12cs345-67cd-890b-1cd2-c3a4567d89f1 --updates Action="DELETE",Predicate={Negated=false,Type="ByteMatch",DataId="MyByteMatchSetID"}For more information, see Working with Rules in the AWS WAF developer guide.
Output¶
ChangeToken -> (string)
The
ChangeToken
that you used to submit theUpdateRule
request. You can also use this value to query the status of the request. For more information, see GetChangeTokenStatus .
