aws wafv2 create-rule-group

Creates a RuleGroup per the specifications provided. A rule group defines a collection of rules to inspect and control web requests that you can use in a WebACL. When you create a rule group, you define an immutable capacity limit. If you update a rule group, you must stay within the capacity. This allows others to reuse the rule group with confidence in its capacity requirements

Options

NameDescription
--name <string>The name of the rule group. You cannot change the name of a rule group after you create it
--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
--capacity <long>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, AWS WAF enforces this limit. You can check the capacity for a set of rules using CheckCapacity. AWS WAF uses WCUs to calculate and control the operating resources that are used to run your rules, rule groups, and web ACLs. AWS 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. The WCU limit for web ACLs is 1,500
--description <string>A description of the rule group that helps with identification
--rules <list>The Rule statements used to identify the web requests that you want to allow, block, or count. Each rule includes one top-level statement that AWS WAF uses to identify matching web requests, and parameters that govern how AWS WAF handles them
--visibility-config <structure>Defines and enables Amazon CloudWatch metrics and web request sample collection
--tags <list>An array of key:value pairs to associate with the resource
--custom-response-bodies <map>A map of custom response keys and content bodies. When you create a rule with a block action, you can send a custom response to the web request. You define these for the rule group, and then use them in the rules that you define in the rule group. For information about customizing web requests and responses, see Customizing web requests and responses in AWS WAF in the AWS WAF Developer Guide. For information about the limits on count and size for custom request and response settings, see AWS WAF quotas in the AWS WAF Developer Guide
--cli-input-json <string>Performs service operation based on the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by ``--generate-cli-skeleton``. If other arguments are provided on the command line, the CLI 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
--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``. If provided with the value ``output``, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command
