There are more AWS SDK examples available in the AWS Doc SDK Examples GitHub repo.

AWS WAF Classic examples using AWS CLI

The following code examples show you how to perform actions and implement common scenarios by using the AWS Command Line Interface with AWS WAF Classic.

Actions are code excerpts from larger programs and must be run in context. While actions show you how to call individual service functions, you can see actions in context in their related scenarios.

Each example includes a link to the complete source code, where you can find instructions on how to set up and run the code in context.

The following code example shows how to use put-logging-configuration.

AWS CLI

To create a logging configuration for the web ACL ARN with the specified Kinesis Firehose stream ARN

The following put-logging-configuration example displays logging configuration for WAF with CloudFront.

aws waf put-logging-configuration \
    --logging-configuration ResourceArn=arn:aws:waf::123456789012:webacl/3bffd3ed-fa2e-445e-869f-a6a7cf153fd3,LogDestinationConfigs=arn:aws:firehose:us-east-1:123456789012:deliverystream/aws-waf-logs-firehose-stream,RedactedFields=[]

Output:

{
    "LoggingConfiguration": {
        "ResourceArn": "arn:aws:waf::123456789012:webacl/3bffd3ed-fa2e-445e-869f-a6a7cf153fd3",
        "LogDestinationConfigs": [
            "arn:aws:firehose:us-east-1:123456789012:deliverystream/aws-waf-logs-firehose-stream"
        ]
    }
}

The following code example shows how to use update-byte-match-set.

AWS CLI

To update a byte match set

The following update-byte-match-set command deletes a ByteMatchTuple object (filter) in a ByteMatchSet:

aws waf update-byte-match-set --byte-match-set-id a123fae4-b567-8e90-1234-5ab67ac8ca90 --change-token 12cs345-67cd-890b-1cd2-c3a4567d89f1 --updates Action="DELETE",ByteMatchTuple={FieldToMatch={Type="HEADER",Data="referer"},TargetString="badrefer1",TextTransformation="NONE",PositionalConstraint="CONTAINS"}

For more information, see Working with String Match Conditions in the AWS WAF developer guide.

The following code example shows how to use update-ip-set.

AWS CLI

To update an IP set

The following update-ip-set command updates an IPSet with an IPv4 address and deletes an IPv6 address:

aws waf update-ip-set --ip-set-id a123fae4-b567-8e90-1234-5ab67ac8ca90 --change-token 12cs345-67cd-890b-1cd2-c3a4567d89f1 --updates Action="INSERT",IPSetDescriptor={Type="IPV4",Value="12.34.56.78/16"},Action="DELETE",IPSetDescriptor={Type="IPV6",Value="1111:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0111/128"}

Alternatively you can use a JSON file to specify the input. For example:

aws waf update-ip-set --ip-set-id a123fae4-b567-8e90-1234-5ab67ac8ca90 --change-token 12cs345-67cd-890b-1cd2-c3a4567d89f1  --updates file://change.json

Where content of the JSON file is:

[
{
"Action": "INSERT",
"IPSetDescriptor":
{
"Type": "IPV4",
"Value": "12.34.56.78/16"
}
},
{
"Action": "DELETE",
"IPSetDescriptor":
{
"Type": "IPV6",
"Value": "1111:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000:0111/128"
}
}
]
