description: Optional[str]

An informative summary of the current URI-based WAF override.

maxLength1024
groups: Optional[Dict[str, object]]

An object that allows you to enable or disable WAF rule groups for the current WAF override. Each key of this object must be the ID of a WAF rule group, and each value must be a valid WAF action (usually default or disable). When creating a new URI-based WAF override, you must provide a groups object or a rules object.

paused: Optional[bool]

When true, indicates that the rule is currently paused.

priority: Optional[float]

The relative priority of the current URI-based WAF override when multiple overrides match a single URL. A lower number indicates higher priority. Higher priority overrides may overwrite values set by lower priority overrides.

rewrite_action: Optional[RewriteAction]

Specifies that, when a WAF rule matches, its configured action will be replaced by the action configured in this object.

rules: Optional[WAFRule]

An object that allows you to override the action of specific WAF rules. Each key of this object must be the ID of a WAF rule, and each value must be a valid WAF action. Unless you are disabling a rule, ensure that you also enable the rule group that this WAF rule belongs to. When creating a new URI-based WAF override, you must provide a groups object or a rules object.

urls: Optional[List[OverrideURL]]

The URLs to include in the current WAF override. You can use wildcards. Each entered URL will be escaped before use, which means you can only use simple wildcard patterns.
