Description

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 RegexPatternSet . You then use UpdateRegexPatternSet to specify the regular expression (regex) pattern that you want AWS WAF to search for, such as B[a@]dB[o0]t . You can then configure AWS WAF to reject those requests.

To create and configure a RegexPatternSet , perform the following steps:

• Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of a CreateRegexPatternSet request.
• Submit a CreateRegexPatternSet request.
• Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of an UpdateRegexPatternSet request.
• Submit an UpdateRegexPatternSet request to specify the string 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 .

Options

--name (string)

A friendly name or description of the RegexPatternSet . You can’t change Name after you create a RegexPatternSet .

--change-token (string)

The value returned by the most recent call to GetChangeToken .

--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. 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. If automatic pagination is disabled, the AWS CLI will only make one call, for the first page of results.

--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 the cli-binary-format setting. When using file:// the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-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.

Output

RegexPatternSet -> (structure)

A RegexPatternSet that contains no objects.

RegexPatternSetId -> (string)

The identifier for the RegexPatternSet . You use RegexPatternSetId to get information about a RegexPatternSet , update a RegexPatternSet , remove a RegexPatternSet from a RegexMatchSet , and delete a RegexPatternSet from AWS WAF.

RegexMatchSetId is returned by CreateRegexPatternSet and by ListRegexPatternSets .

Name -> (string)

A friendly name or description of the RegexPatternSet . You can’t change Name after you create a RegexPatternSet .

RegexPatternStrings -> (list)

Specifies the regular expression (regex) patterns that you want AWS WAF to search for, such as B[a@]dB[o0]t .

(string)

ChangeToken -> (string)

The ChangeToken that you used to submit the CreateRegexPatternSet request. You can also use this value to query the status of the request. For more information, see GetChangeTokenStatus .
