AWS SDK for PHP 3.x

Service ID: shield

Version: 2016-06-02

This page describes the parameters and results for the operations of the AWS Shield (2016-06-02), and shows how to use the Aws\Shield\ShieldClient object to call the described operations. This documentation is specific to the 2016-06-02 API version of the service.

Operation Summary

Each of the following operations can be created from a client using $client->getCommand('CommandName'), where "CommandName" is the name of one of the following operations. Note: a command is a value that encapsulates an operation and the parameters used to create an HTTP request.

You can also create and send a command immediately using the magic methods available on a client object: $client->commandName(/* parameters */). You can send the command asynchronously (returning a promise) by appending the word "Async" to the operation name: $client->commandNameAsync(/* parameters */).

$promise = $client->associateDRTRoleAsync([/* ... */]);

Authorizes the DDoS Response team (DRT), using the specified role, to access your AWS account to assist with DDoS attack mitigation during potential attacks. This enables the DRT to inspect your AWS WAF configuration and create or update AWS WAF rules and web ACLs.

You can associate only one RoleArn with your subscription. If you submit an AssociateDRTRole request for an account that already has an associated role, the new RoleArn will replace the existing RoleArn.

Prior to making the AssociateDRTRole request, you must attach the AWSShieldDRTAccessPolicy managed policy to the role you will specify in the request. For more information see Attaching and Detaching IAM Policies. The role must also trust the service principal drt.shield.amazonaws.com. For more information, see IAM JSON Policy Elements: Principal.

The DRT will have access only to your AWS WAF and Shield resources. By submitting this request, you authorize the DRT to inspect your AWS WAF and Shield configuration and create and update AWS WAF rules and web ACLs on your behalf. The DRT takes these actions only if explicitly authorized by you.

You must have the iam:PassRole permission to make an AssociateDRTRole request. For more information, see Granting a User Permissions to Pass a Role to an AWS Service.

To use the services of the DRT and make an AssociateDRTRole request, you must be subscribed to the Business Support plan or the Enterprise Support plan.

    'EndTime' => [
        'FromInclusive' => <integer || string || DateTime>,
        'ToExclusive' => <integer || string || DateTime>,

Parameter Details

Members

EndTime

Type: TimeRange structure

The end of the time period for the attacks. This is a timestamp type. The sample request above indicates a number type because the default used by WAF is Unix time in seconds. However any valid timestamp format is allowed.

MaxResults

Type: int

The maximum number of AttackSummary objects to be returned. If this is left blank, the first 20 results will be returned.

This is a maximum value; it is possible that AWS WAF will return the results in smaller batches. That is, the number of AttackSummary objects returned could be less than MaxResults, even if there are still more AttackSummary objects yet to return. If there are more AttackSummary objects to return, AWS WAF will always also return a NextToken.

NextToken

Type: string

The ListAttacksRequest.NextMarker value from a previous call to ListAttacksRequest. Pass null if this is the first call.

ResourceArns

Type: Array of strings

The ARN (Amazon Resource Name) of the resource that was attacked. If this is left blank, all applicable resources for this account will be included.

StartTime

Type: TimeRange structure

The start of the time period for the attacks. This is a timestamp type. The sample request above indicates a number type because the default used by WAF is Unix time in seconds. However any valid timestamp format is allowed.

AWS WAF might return the list of AttackSummary objects in batches smaller than the number specified by MaxResults. If there are more AttackSummary objects to return, AWS WAF will always also return a NextToken.
