delete-rule

Description

Permanently deletes a Rule . You can't delete a Rule if it's still used in any WebACL objects or if it still includes any predicates, such as ByteMatchSet objects.

If you just want to remove a Rule from a WebACL , use update-web-acl .

To permanently delete a Rule from AWS WAF, perform the following steps:

• Update the Rule to remove predicates, if any. For more information, see update-rule .
• Use get-change-token to get the change token that you provide in the change-token parameter of a delete-rule request.
• Submit a delete-rule request.

The RuleId of the Rule that you want to delete. RuleId is returned by create-rule and by list-rules .

--change-token (string)

The value returned by the most recent call to get-change-token .

--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.

--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.
