Block Microsoft Exchange Autodiscover requests
In some cases, Microsoft Exchange Autodiscover service requests can be "noisy", triggering large numbers of HTTP 404
(Not found
) errors.
This example blocks requests for autodiscover.xml
and autodiscover.src
:
- Expression:
(ends_with(http.request.uri.path, "/autodiscover.xml") or ends_with(http.request.uri.path, "/autodiscover.src"))
- Action: Block
Alternatively, customers on a Business or Enterprise plan can use the matches
comparison operator for the same purpose. For this example, the expression would be the following:
(http.request.uri.path matches "/autodiscover.(xml|src)$")
