RuleGroupReferenceStatement

A rule statement used to run the rules that are defined in a 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.

ARN

The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the entity.

Type: String

Length Constraints: Minimum length of 20. Maximum length of 2048.

Pattern: .*\S.*

Required: Yes

ExcludedRules

Rules in the referenced rule group whose actions are set to Count.

Note

Instead of this option, use RuleActionOverrides. It accepts any valid action setting, including Count.

Type: Array of ExcludedRule objects

Array Members: Maximum number of 100 items.

Required: No

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.

Note

Take care to verify the rule names in your overrides. If you provide a rule name that doesn't match the name of any rule in the rule group, AWS WAF doesn't return an error and doesn't apply the override setting.

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.

Type: Array of RuleActionOverride objects

Array Members: Maximum number of 100 items.

Required: No
