Adjusting rule statement settings in AWS WAF

This section describes the settings that you can specify in rule statements that inspect a component of the web request. For information on usage, see the individual rule statements at Using match rule statements in AWS WAF.

A subset of these web request components can also be used in rate-based rules, as custom request aggregation keys. For information, see Aggregating rate-based rules in AWS WAF.

For the request component settings, you specify the component type itself, and any additional options, depending on the component type. For example, when you inspect a component type that contains text, you can apply text transformations to it before inspecting it.
