Rate limit the requests that are missing a specific header

To limit the number of requests that are missing a specific header, you can use the Count all aggregation option with a scope-down statement. Configure the scope-down statement with a logical NOT statement containing a statement that returns true only if the header exists and has a value.

The following JSON listing shows an example of this rule configuration.
