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.
Inserts or deletes Predicate objects in a rule and updates the RateLimit
in the rule.
Each Predicate
object identifies a predicate, such as a ByteMatchSet
or an IPSet, that specifies the web requests that you want to block or count.
The RateLimit
specifies the number of requests every five minutes that triggers
the rule.
If you add more than one predicate to a RateBasedRule
, a request must match
all the predicates and exceed the RateLimit
to be counted or blocked. For example,
suppose you add the following to a RateBasedRule
:
An IPSet
that matches the IP address 192.0.2.44/32
A ByteMatchSet
that matches BadBot
in the User-Agent
header
Further, you specify a RateLimit
of 1,000.
You then add the RateBasedRule
to a WebACL
and specify that you want
to block requests that satisfy the rule. For a request to be blocked, it must come
from the IP address 192.0.2.44 and the User-Agent
header in the request
must contain the value BadBot
. Further, requests that match these two conditions
much be received at a rate of more than 1,000 every five minutes. If the rate drops
below this limit, AWS WAF no longer blocks the requests.
As a second example, suppose you want to limit requests to a particular page on your
site. To do this, you could add the following to a RateBasedRule
:
A ByteMatchSet
with FieldToMatch
of URI
A PositionalConstraint
of STARTS_WITH
A TargetString
of login
Further, you specify a RateLimit
of 1,000.
By adding this RateBasedRule
to a WebACL
, you could limit requests to
your login page without affecting the rest of your site.
This is an asynchronous operation using the standard naming convention for .NET 4.5 or higher. For .NET 3.5 the operation is implemented as a pair of methods using the standard naming convention of BeginUpdateRateBasedRule and EndUpdateRateBasedRule.
Namespace: Amazon.WAF
Assembly: AWSSDK.WAF.dll
Version: 3.x.y.z
public virtual Task<UpdateRateBasedRuleResponse> UpdateRateBasedRuleAsync( UpdateRateBasedRuleRequest request, CancellationToken cancellationToken )
Container for the necessary parameters to execute the UpdateRateBasedRule service method.
A cancellation token that can be used by other objects or threads to receive notice of cancellation.
Exception | Condition |
---|---|
WAFInternalErrorException | The operation failed because of a system problem, even though the request was valid. Retry your request. |
WAFInvalidAccountException | The operation failed because you tried to create, update, or delete an object by using an invalid account identifier. |
WAFInvalidOperationException | The operation failed because there was nothing to do. For example: You tried to remove a Rule from a WebACL, but the Rule isn't in the specified WebACL. You tried to remove an IP address from an IPSet, but the IP address isn't in the specified IPSet. You tried to remove a ByteMatchTuple from a ByteMatchSet, but the ByteMatchTuple isn't in the specified WebACL. You tried to add a Rule to a WebACL, but the Rule already exists in the specified WebACL. You tried to add a ByteMatchTuple to a ByteMatchSet, but the ByteMatchTuple already exists in the specified WebACL. |
WAFInvalidParameterException | The operation failed because AWS WAF didn't recognize a parameter in the request. For example: You specified an invalid parameter name. You specified an invalid value. You tried to update an object (ByteMatchSet, IPSet, Rule, or WebACL) using an action other than INSERT or DELETE. You tried to create a WebACL with a DefaultActionType other than ALLOW, BLOCK, or COUNT. You tried to create a RateBasedRule with a RateKey value other than IP. You tried to update a WebACL with a WafActionType other than ALLOW, BLOCK, or COUNT. You tried to update a ByteMatchSet with a FieldToMatchType other than HEADER, METHOD, QUERY_STRING, URI, or BODY. You tried to update a ByteMatchSet with a Field of HEADER but no value for Data. Your request references an ARN that is malformed, or corresponds to a resource with which a web ACL cannot be associated. |
WAFLimitsExceededException | The operation exceeds a resource limit, for example, the maximum number of WebACL objects that you can create for an AWS account. For more information, see Limits in the AWS WAF Developer Guide. |
WAFNonexistentContainerException | The operation failed because you tried to add an object to or delete an object from another object that doesn't exist. For example: You tried to add a Rule to or delete a Rule from a WebACL that doesn't exist. You tried to add a ByteMatchSet to or delete a ByteMatchSet from a Rule that doesn't exist. You tried to add an IP address to or delete an IP address from an IPSet that doesn't exist. You tried to add a ByteMatchTuple to or delete a ByteMatchTuple from a ByteMatchSet that doesn't exist. |
WAFNonexistentItemException | The operation failed because the referenced object doesn't exist. |
WAFReferencedItemException | The operation failed because you tried to delete an object that is still in use. For example: You tried to delete a ByteMatchSet that is still referenced by a Rule. You tried to delete a Rule that is still referenced by a WebACL. |
WAFStaleDataException | The operation failed because you tried to create, update, or delete an object by using a change token that has already been used. |
