NAME

Paws::WAF::RateBasedRule

USAGE

This class represents one of two things:

Arguments in a call to a service

Use the attributes of this class as arguments to methods. You shouldn't make instances of this class. Each attribute should be used as a named argument in the calls that expect this type of object.

As an example, if Att1 is expected to be a Paws::WAF::RateBasedRule object:

  $service_obj->Method(Att1 => { MatchPredicates => $value, ..., RuleId => $value  });

Results returned from an API call

Use accessors for each attribute. If Att1 is expected to be an Paws::WAF::RateBasedRule object:

  $result = $service_obj->Method(...);
  $result->Att1->MatchPredicates

DESCRIPTION

A RateBasedRule is identical to a regular Rule, with one addition: a RateBasedRule counts the number of requests that arrive from a specified IP address every five minutes. For example, based on recent requests that you've seen from an attacker, you might create a RateBasedRule that includes the following conditions:

  • The requests come from 192.0.2.44.

  • They contain the value BadBot in the User-Agent header.

In the rule, you also define the rate limit as 15,000.

Requests that meet both of these conditions and exceed 15,000 requests every five minutes trigger the rule's action (block or count), which is defined in the web ACL.

ATTRIBUTES

REQUIRED MatchPredicates => ArrayRef[Paws::WAF::Predicate]

  The C<Predicates> object contains one C<Predicate> element for each
ByteMatchSet, IPSet, or SqlInjectionMatchSet object that you want to
include in a C<RateBasedRule>.

MetricName => Str

  A friendly name or description for the metrics for a C<RateBasedRule>.
The name can contain only alphanumeric characters (A-Z, a-z, 0-9); the
name can't contain whitespace. You can't change the name of the metric
after you create the C<RateBasedRule>.

Name => Str

  A friendly name or description for a C<RateBasedRule>. You can't change
the name of a C<RateBasedRule> after you create it.

REQUIRED RateKey => Str

  The field that AWS WAF uses to determine if requests are likely
arriving from single source and thus subject to rate monitoring. The
only valid value for C<RateKey> is C<IP>. C<IP> indicates that requests
arriving from the same IP address are subject to the C<RateLimit> that
is specified in the C<RateBasedRule>.

REQUIRED RateLimit => Int

  The maximum number of requests, which have an identical value in the
field specified by the C<RateKey>, allowed in a five-minute period. If
the number of requests exceeds the C<RateLimit> and the other
predicates specified in the rule are also met, AWS WAF triggers the
action that is specified for this rule.

REQUIRED RuleId => Str

  A unique identifier for a C<RateBasedRule>. You use C<RuleId> to get
more information about a C<RateBasedRule> (see GetRateBasedRule),
update a C<RateBasedRule> (see UpdateRateBasedRule), insert a
C<RateBasedRule> into a C<WebACL> or delete one from a C<WebACL> (see
UpdateWebACL), or delete a C<RateBasedRule> from AWS WAF (see
DeleteRateBasedRule).
