Request Parameters
For information about the parameters that are common to all actions, see Common Parameters.
The request accepts the following data in JSON format.
- Id
-
A unique identifier for the rule group. This ID is returned in the responses to create and list commands. You provide it to operations like update and delete.
Type: String
Length Constraints: Minimum length of 1. Maximum length of 36.
Pattern:
^[0-9a-f]{8}-(?:[0-9a-f]{4}-){3}[0-9a-f]{12}$
Required: Yes
- LockToken
-
A token used for optimistic locking. AWS WAF returns a token to your get and list requests, to mark the state of the entity at the time of the request. To make changes to the entity associated with the token, you provide the token to operations like update and delete. AWS WAF uses the token to ensure that no changes have been made to the entity since you last retrieved it. If a change has been made, the update fails with a
WAFOptimisticLockException
. If this happens, perform another get, and use the new token returned by that operation.Type: String
