Bot Control example: Using Bot Control only for dynamic content

This example uses a scope-down statement to apply AWS WAF Bot Control only to dynamic content.

The scope-down statement excludes static content by negating the match results for a regex pattern set:

  • The regex pattern set is configured to match extensions of static content. For example, the regex pattern set specification might be (?i)\.(jpe?g|gif|png|svg|ico|css|js|woff2?)$. For information about regex pattern sets and statements, see Regex pattern set match rule statement.

  • In the scope-down statement, we exclude the matching static content by nesting the regex pattern set statement inside a NOT statement. For information about the NOT statement, see NOT rule statement.
