Bot Control example: Using two statements to limit the use of the targeted inspection level - Amazon WAF, Amazon Firewall Manager, Amazon Shield Advanced, and Amazon Shield network security director
Services or capabilities described in Amazon Web Services documentation might vary by Region. To see the differences applicable to the China Regions, see Getting Started with Amazon Web Services in China (PDF).

Introducing a new console experience for Amazon WAF

You can now use the updated experience to access Amazon WAF functionality anywhere in the console. For more details, see Working with the updated console experience.

Bot Control example: Using two statements to limit the use of the targeted inspection level

As a cost optimization, you can use two Amazon WAF Bot Control managed rule group statements in your protection pack or web ACL, with separate inspection levels and scoping. For instance, you could scope the targeted inspection level statement only to more sensitive application endpoints.

The two statements in the following example have mutually exclusive scoping. Without this configuration, a request could result in two billed Bot Control evaluations.

Note

Multiple statements referencing AWSManagedRulesBotControlRuleSet are not supported in the visual editor in the console. Instead, use the JSON editor.
