AWS::WAFv2::WebACL RuleGroupReferenceStatement

A rule statement used to run the rules that are defined in a AWS::WAFv2::RuleGroup. To use this, create a rule group with your rules, then provide the ARN of the rule group in this statement.

You cannot nest a RuleGroupReferenceStatement, for example for use inside a NotStatement or OrStatement. You cannot use a rule group reference statement inside another rule group. You can only reference a rule group as a top-level statement within a rule that you define in a web ACL.

Syntax

To declare this entity in your AWS CloudFormation template, use the following syntax:

JSON

{
  "Arn" : String,
  "ExcludedRules" : [ ExcludedRule, ... ],
  "RuleActionOverrides" : [ RuleActionOverride, ... ]
}

RuleActionOverrides

Action settings to use in the place of the rule actions that are configured inside the rule group. You specify one override for each rule whose action you want to change.

You can use overrides for testing, for example you can override all of rule actions to Count and then monitor the resulting count metrics to understand how the rule group would handle your web traffic. You can also permanently override some or all actions, to modify how the rule group manages your web traffic.
