AWS::WAFv2::RuleGroup Body

Inspect the body of the web request. The body immediately follows the request headers.

This is used to indicate the web request component to inspect, in the FieldToMatch specification.

Syntax

To declare this entity in your Amazon CloudFormation template, use the following syntax:

JSON

{
  "OversizeHandling" : String
}

YAML

  OversizeHandling: String

Properties

OversizeHandling

What Amazon WAF should do if the body is larger than Amazon WAF can inspect. Amazon WAF does not support inspecting the entire contents of the web request body if the body exceeds the limit for the resource type. If the body is larger than the limit, the underlying host service only forwards the contents that are below the limit to Amazon WAF for inspection.

The default limit is 8 KB (8,192 kilobytes) for regional resources and 16 KB (16,384 kilobytes) for CloudFront distributions. For CloudFront distributions, you can increase the limit in the web ACL AssociationConfig, for additional processing fees.

The options for oversize handling are the following:

  • CONTINUE - Inspect the body normally, according to the rule inspection criteria.

  • MATCH - Treat the web request as matching the rule statement. Amazon WAF applies the rule action to the request.

  • NO_MATCH - Treat the web request as not matching the rule statement.

You can combine the MATCH or NO_MATCH settings for oversize handling with your rule and web ACL action settings, so that you block any request whose body is over the limit.

Default: CONTINUE

Required: No

Type: String

Allowed values: CONTINUE | MATCH | NO_MATCH

Update requires: No interruption
