2022/07/21 - AWS Network Firewall - 6 updated api methods
Changes Network Firewall now supports referencing dynamic IP sets from stateful rule groups, for IP sets stored in Amazon VPC prefix lists.
{'FirewallStatus': {'CapacityUsageSummary': {'CIDRs': {'AvailableCIDRCount': 'integer',
'IPSetReferences': {'string': {'ResolvedCIDRCount': 'integer'}},
'UtilizedCIDRCount': 'integer'}},
'ConfigurationSyncStateSummary': {'CAPACITY_CONSTRAINED'},
'SyncStates': {'Config': {'SyncStatus': {'CAPACITY_CONSTRAINED'}}}}}
Creates an Network Firewall Firewall and accompanying FirewallStatus for a VPC.
The firewall defines the configuration settings for an Network Firewall firewall. The settings that you can define at creation include the firewall policy, the subnets in your VPC to use for the firewall endpoints, and any tags that are attached to the firewall Amazon Web Services resource.
After you create a firewall, you can provide additional settings, like the logging configuration.
To update the settings for a firewall, you use the operations that apply to the settings themselves, for example UpdateLoggingConfiguration , AssociateSubnets , and UpdateFirewallDeleteProtection .
To manage a firewall's tags, use the standard Amazon Web Services resource tagging operations, ListTagsForResource , TagResource , and UntagResource .
To retrieve information about firewalls, use ListFirewalls and DescribeFirewall .

For more information, see Key ID in the Amazon Web Services KMS Developer Guide .
Type (string) --
The type of Amazon Web Services KMS key to use for encryption of your Network Firewall resources.
FirewallStatus (dict) --
Detailed information about the current status of a Firewall . You can retrieve this for a firewall by calling DescribeFirewall and providing the firewall name and ARN.
Status (string) --
The readiness of the configured firewall to handle network traffic across all of the Availability Zones where you've configured it. This setting is READY only when the ConfigurationSyncStateSummary value is IN_SYNC and the Attachment Status values for all of the configured subnets are READY .
ConfigurationSyncStateSummary (string) --
The configuration sync state for the firewall. This summarizes the sync states reported in the Config settings for all of the Availability Zones where you have configured the firewall.
When you create a firewall or update its configuration, for example by adding a rule group to its firewall policy, Network Firewall distributes the configuration changes to all zones where the firewall is in use. This summary indicates whether the configuration changes have been applied everywhere.
This status must be IN_SYNC for the firewall to be ready for use, but it doesn't indicate that the firewall is ready. The Status setting indicates firewall readiness.
SyncStates (dict) --
The subnets that you've configured for use by the Network Firewall firewall. This contains one array element per Availability Zone where you've configured a subnet. These objects provide details of the information that is summarized in the ConfigurationSyncStateSummary and Status , broken down by zone and configuration object.
(string) --
(dict) --
The status of the firewall endpoint and firewall policy configuration for a single VPC subnet.
For each VPC subnet that you associate with a firewall, Network Firewall does the following:
Instantiates a firewall endpoint in the subnet, ready to take traffic.
Configures the endpoint with the current firewall policy settings, to provide the filtering behavior for the endpoint.
When you update a firewall, for example to add a subnet association or change a rule group in the firewall policy, the affected sync states reflect out-of-sync or not ready status until the changes are complete.
Attachment (dict) --
The attachment status of the firewall's association with a single VPC subnet. For each configured subnet, Network Firewall creates the attachment by instantiating the firewall endpoint in the subnet so that it's ready to take traffic. This is part of the FirewallStatus .
SubnetId (string) --
The unique identifier of the subnet that you've specified to be used for a firewall endpoint.
EndpointId (string) --
The identifier of the firewall endpoint that Network Firewall has instantiated in the subnet. You use this to identify the firewall endpoint in the VPC route tables, when you redirect the VPC traffic through the endpoint.
Status (string) --
The current status of the firewall endpoint in the subnet. This value reflects both the instantiation of the endpoint in the VPC subnet and the sync states that are reported in the Config settings. When this value is READY , the endpoint is available and configured properly to handle network traffic. When the endpoint isn't available for traffic, this value will reflect its state, for example CREATING , DELETING , or FAILED .
Config (dict) --
The configuration status of the firewall endpoint in a single VPC subnet. Network Firewall provides each endpoint with the rules that are configured in the firewall policy. Each time you add a subnet or modify the associated firewall policy, Network Firewall synchronizes the rules in the endpoint, so it can properly filter network traffic. This is part of the FirewallStatus .
(string) --
(dict) --
Provides configuration status for a single policy or rule group that is used for a firewall endpoint. Network Firewall provides each endpoint with the rules that are configured in the firewall policy. Each time you add a subnet or modify the associated firewall policy, Network Firewall synchronizes the rules in the endpoint, so it can properly filter network traffic. This is part of a SyncState for a firewall.
SyncStatus (string) --
Indicates whether this object is in sync with the version indicated in the update token.
UpdateToken (string) --
The current version of the object that is either in sync or pending synchronization.
CapacityUsageSummary (dict) --
Describes the capacity usage of the resources contained in a firewall's reference sets. Network Firewall calclulates the capacity usage by taking an aggregated count of all of the resources used by all of the reference sets in a firewall.
CIDRs (dict) --
Describes the capacity usage of the CIDR blocks used by the IP set references in a firewall.
AvailableCIDRCount (integer) --
The number of CIDR blocks available for use by the IP set references in a firewall.
UtilizedCIDRCount (integer) --
The number of CIDR blocks used by the IP set references in a firewall.

Configures one or more IP set references for a Suricata-compatible rule group. This is used in CreateRuleGroup or UpdateRuleGroup . An IP set reference is a rule variable that references a resource that you create and manage in another Amazon Web Services service, such as an Amazon VPC prefix list. Network Firewall IP set references enable you to dynamically update the contents of your rules. When you create, update, or delete the IP set you are referencing in your rule, Network Firewall automatically updates the rule's content with the changes. For more information about IP set references in Network Firewall, see Using IP set references in the Network Firewall Developer Guide .
Network Firewall currently supports only Amazon VPC prefix lists as IP set references.

aws:drop - Discontinues all inspection of the packet and blocks it from going to its intended destination.
aws:forward_to_sfe - Discontinues stateless inspection of the packet and forwards it to the stateful rule engine for inspection.
Additionally, you can specify a custom action. To do this, you define a custom action by name and type, then provide the name you've assigned to the action in this Actions setting. For information about the options, see CustomAction .
To provide more than one action in this setting, separate the settings with a comma. For example, if you have a custom PublishMetrics action that you've named MyMetricsAction , then you could specify the standard action aws:pass and the custom action with [“aws:pass”, “MyMetricsAction”] .
(string) --
Priority (integer) -- [REQUIRED]
Indicates the order in which to run this rule relative to all of the rules that are defined for a stateless rule group. Network Firewall evaluates the rules in a rule group starting with the lowest priority setting. You must ensure that the priority settings are unique for the rule group.
Each stateless rule group uses exactly one StatelessRulesAndCustomActions object, and each StatelessRulesAndCustomActions contains exactly one StatelessRules object. To ensure unique priority settings for your rule groups, set unique priorities for the stateless rules that you define inside any single StatelessRules object.
You can change the priority settings of your rules at any time. To make it easier to insert rules later, number them so there's a wide range in between, for example use 100, 200, and so on.
CustomActions (list) --
Defines an array of individual custom action definitions that are available for use by the stateless rules in this StatelessRulesAndCustomActions specification. You name each custom action that you define, and then you can use it by name in your StatelessRule RuleDefinition Actions specification.
(dict) --
An optional, non-standard action to use for stateless packet handling. You can define this in addition to the standard action that you must specify.
You define and name the custom actions that you want to be able to use, and then you reference them by name in your actions settings.
You can use custom actions in the following places:
In a rule group's StatelessRulesAndCustomActions specification. The custom actions are available for use by name inside the StatelessRulesAndCustomActions where you define them. You can use them for your stateless rule actions to specify what to do with a packet that matches the rule's match attributes.
In a FirewallPolicy specification, in StatelessCustomActions . The custom actions are available for use inside the policy where you define them. You can use them for the policy's default stateless actions settings to specify what to do with packets that don't match any of the policy's stateless rules.
ActionName (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The descriptive name of the custom action. You can't change the name of a custom action after you create it.
ActionDefinition (dict) -- [REQUIRED]
The custom action associated with the action name.
PublishMetricAction (dict) --
Stateless inspection criteria that publishes the specified metrics to Amazon CloudWatch for the matching packet. This setting defines a CloudWatch dimension value to be published.
You can pair this custom action with any of the standard stateless rule actions. For example, you could pair this in a rule action with the standard action that forwards the packet for stateful inspection. Then, when a packet matches the rule, Network Firewall publishes metrics for the packet and forwards it.
Dimensions (list) -- [REQUIRED]
(dict) --
The value to use in an Amazon CloudWatch custom metric dimension. This is used in the PublishMetrics CustomAction . A CloudWatch custom metric dimension is a name/value pair that's part of the identity of a metric.
Network Firewall sets the dimension name to CustomAction and you provide the dimension value.
For more information about CloudWatch custom metric dimensions, see Publishing Custom Metrics in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide .
Value (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The value to use in the custom metric dimension.
StatefulRuleOptions (dict) --
Additional options governing how Network Firewall handles stateful rules. The policies where you use your stateful rule group must have stateful rule options settings that are compatible with these settings.
RuleOrder (string) --
Indicates how to manage the order of the rule evaluation for the rule group. DEFAULT_ACTION_ORDER is the default behavior. Stateful rules are provided to the rule engine as Suricata compatible strings, and Suricata evaluates them based on certain settings. For more information, see Evaluation order for stateful rules in the Network Firewall Developer Guide .
string
A string containing stateful rule group rules specifications in Suricata flat format, with one rule per line. Use this to import your existing Suricata compatible rule groups.
Note
You must provide either this rules setting or a populated RuleGroup setting, but not both.
You can provide your rule group specification in Suricata flat format through this setting when you create or update your rule group. The call response returns a RuleGroup object that Network Firewall has populated from your string.
string
[REQUIRED]
Indicates whether the rule group is stateless or stateful. If the rule group is stateless, it contains stateless rules. If it is stateful, it contains stateful rules.
string
A description of the rule group.
integer
[REQUIRED]
The maximum operating resources that this rule group can use. Rule group capacity is fixed at creation. When you update a rule group, you are limited to this capacity. When you reference a rule group from a firewall policy, Network Firewall reserves this capacity for the rule group.
You can retrieve the capacity that would be required for a rule group before you create the rule group by calling CreateRuleGroup with DryRun set to TRUE .
Note
You can't change or exceed this capacity when you update the rule group, so leave room for your rule group to grow.
Capacity for a stateless rule group
For a stateless rule group, the capacity required is the sum of the capacity requirements of the individual rules that you expect to have in the rule group.
To calculate the capacity requirement of a single rule, multiply the capacity requirement values of each of the rule's match settings:
A match setting with no criteria specified has a value of 1.
A match setting with Any specified has a value of 1.
All other match settings have a value equal to the number of elements provided in the setting. For example, a protocol setting ["UDP"] and a source setting ["10.0.0.0/24"] each have a value of 1. A protocol setting ["UDP","TCP"] has a value of 2. A source setting ["10.0.0.0/24","10.0.0.1/24","10.0.0.2/24"] has a value of 3.
A rule with no criteria specified in any of its match settings has a capacity requirement of 1. A rule with protocol setting ["UDP","TCP"], source setting ["10.0.0.0/24","10.0.0.1/24","10.0.0.2/24"], and a single specification or no specification for each of the other match settings has a capacity requirement of 6.
Capacity for a stateful rule group
For a stateful rule group, the minimum capacity required is the number of individual rules that you expect to have in the rule group.

Deletes the specified Firewall and its FirewallStatus . This operation requires the firewall's DeleteProtection flag to be FALSE . You can't revert this operation.
You can check whether a firewall is in use by reviewing the route tables for the Availability Zones where you have firewall subnet mappings. Retrieve the subnet mappings by calling DescribeFirewall . You define and update the route tables through Amazon VPC. As needed, update the route tables for the zones to remove the firewall endpoints. When the route tables no longer use the firewall endpoints, you can remove the firewall safely.
To delete a firewall, remove the delete protection if you need to using UpdateFirewallDeleteProtection , then delete the firewall by calling DeleteFirewall .

For each VPC subnet that you associate with a firewall, Network Firewall does the following:
Instantiates a firewall endpoint in the subnet, ready to take traffic.
Configures the endpoint with the current firewall policy settings, to provide the filtering behavior for the endpoint.
When you update a firewall, for example to add a subnet association or change a rule group in the firewall policy, the affected sync states reflect out-of-sync or not ready status until the changes are complete.
Attachment (dict) --
The attachment status of the firewall's association with a single VPC subnet. For each configured subnet, Network Firewall creates the attachment by instantiating the firewall endpoint in the subnet so that it's ready to take traffic. This is part of the FirewallStatus .

When this value is READY , the endpoint is available and configured properly to handle network traffic. When the endpoint isn't available for traffic, this value will reflect its state, for example CREATING , DELETING , or FAILED .
Config (dict) --
The configuration status of the firewall endpoint in a single VPC subnet. Network Firewall provides each endpoint with the rules that are configured in the firewall policy. Each time you add a subnet or modify the associated firewall policy, Network Firewall synchronizes the rules in the endpoint, so it can properly filter network traffic.

You can use any of the key identifiers that KMS supports, unless you're using a key that's managed by another account. If you're using a key managed by another account, then specify the key ARN. For more information, see Key ID in the Amazon Web Services KMS Developer Guide .
Type (string) --
The type of Amazon Web Services KMS key to use for encryption of your Network Firewall resources.
FirewallStatus (dict) --
Detailed information about the current status of a Firewall . You can retrieve this for a firewall by calling DescribeFirewall and providing the firewall name and ARN.
Status (string) --
The readiness of the configured firewall to handle network traffic across all of the Availability Zones where you've configured it. This setting is READY only when the ConfigurationSyncStateSummary value is IN_SYNC and the Attachment Status values for all of the configured subnets are READY .
ConfigurationSyncStateSummary (string) --
The configuration sync state for the firewall. This summarizes the sync states reported in the Config settings for all of the Availability Zones where you have configured the firewall.
When you create a firewall or update its configuration, for example by adding a rule group to its firewall policy, Network Firewall distributes the configuration changes to all zones where the firewall is in use. This summary indicates whether the configuration changes have been applied everywhere.
This status must be IN_SYNC for the firewall to be ready for use, but it doesn't indicate that the firewall is ready. The Status setting indicates firewall readiness.
SyncStates (dict) --
The subnets that you've configured for use by the Network Firewall firewall. This contains one array element per Availability Zone where you've configured a subnet. These objects provide details of the information that is summarized in the ConfigurationSyncStateSummary and Status , broken down by zone and configuration object.
(string) --
(dict) --
The status of the firewall endpoint and firewall policy configuration for a single VPC subnet.
For each VPC subnet that you associate with a firewall, Network Firewall does the following:
Instantiates a firewall endpoint in the subnet, ready to take traffic.
Configures the endpoint with the current firewall policy settings, to provide the filtering behavior for the endpoint.
When you update a firewall, for example to add a subnet association or change a rule group in the firewall policy, the affected sync states reflect out-of-sync or not ready status until the changes are complete.
Attachment (dict) --
The attachment status of the firewall's association with a single VPC subnet. For each configured subnet, Network Firewall creates the attachment by instantiating the firewall endpoint in the subnet so that it's ready to take traffic. This is part of the FirewallStatus .
SubnetId (string) --
The unique identifier of the subnet that you've specified to be used for a firewall endpoint.
EndpointId (string) --
The identifier of the firewall endpoint that Network Firewall has instantiated in the subnet. You use this to identify the firewall endpoint in the VPC route tables, when you redirect the VPC traffic through the endpoint.
Status (string) --
The current status of the firewall endpoint in the subnet. This value reflects both the instantiation of the endpoint in the VPC subnet and the sync states that are reported in the Config settings. When this value is READY , the endpoint is available and configured properly to handle network traffic. When the endpoint isn't available for traffic, this value will reflect its state, for example CREATING , DELETING , or FAILED .
Config (dict) --
The configuration status of the firewall endpoint in a single VPC subnet. Network Firewall provides each endpoint with the rules that are configured in the firewall policy. Each time you add a subnet or modify the associated firewall policy, Network Firewall synchronizes the rules in the endpoint, so it can properly filter network traffic. This is part of the FirewallStatus .
(string) --
(dict) --
Provides configuration status for a single policy or rule group that is used for a firewall endpoint. Network Firewall provides each endpoint with the rules that are configured in the firewall policy. Each time you add a subnet or modify the associated firewall policy, Network Firewall synchronizes the rules in the endpoint, so it can properly filter network traffic. This is part of a SyncState for a firewall.

Response Structure
(dict) --
UpdateToken (string) --
A token used for optimistic locking. Network Firewall returns a token to your requests that access the rule group. The token marks the state of the rule group resource at the time of the request.
To make changes to the rule group, you provide the token in your request. Network Firewall uses the token to ensure that the rule group hasn't changed since you last retrieved it. If it has changed, the operation fails with an InvalidTokenException . If this happens, retrieve the rule group again to get a current copy of it with a current token. Reapply your changes as needed, then try the operation again using the new token.
RuleGroup (dict) --
The object that defines the rules in a rule group. This, along with RuleGroupResponse , define the rule group. You can retrieve all objects for a rule group by calling DescribeRuleGroup .
Network Firewall uses a rule group to inspect and control network traffic. You define stateless rule groups to inspect individual packets and you define stateful rule groups to inspect packets in the context of their traffic flow.
To use a rule group, you include it by reference in an Network Firewall firewall policy, then you use the policy in a firewall. You can reference a rule group from more than one firewall policy, and you can use a firewall policy in more than one firewall.
RuleVariables (dict) --
Settings that are available for use in the rules in the rule group. You can only use these for stateful rule groups.
IPSets (dict) --
A list of IP addresses and address ranges, in CIDR notation.

The list of IP set references.
(string) --
(dict) --
Configures one or more IP set references for a Suricata-compatible rule group. This is used in CreateRuleGroup or UpdateRuleGroup . An IP set reference is a rule variable that references a resource that you create and manage in another Amazon Web Services service, such as an Amazon VPC prefix list. Network Firewall IP set references enable you to dynamically update the contents of your rules. When you create, update, or delete the IP set you are referencing in your rule, Network Firewall automatically updates the rule's content with the changes. For more information about IP set references in Network Firewall, see Using IP set references in the Network Firewall Developer Guide .
Network Firewall currently supports only Amazon VPC prefix lists as IP set references.

These rules contain the inspection criteria and the action to take for traffic that matches the criteria, so this type of rule group doesn't have a separate action setting.
RulesSourceList (dict) --
Stateful inspection criteria for a domain list rule group.
Targets (list) --
The domains that you want to inspect for in your traffic flows. Valid domain specifications are the following:
Explicit names. For example, abc.example.com matches only the domain abc.example.com .

StatefulRules (list) --
An array of individual stateful rules inspection criteria to be used together in a stateful rule group. Use this option to specify simple Suricata rules with protocol, source and destination, ports, direction, and rule options. For information about the Suricata Rules format, see Rules Format .
(dict) --
A single Suricata rules specification, for use in a stateful rule group. Use this option to specify a simple Suricata rule with protocol, source and destination, ports, direction, and rule options. For information about the Suricata Rules format, see Rules Format .
Action (string) --
Defines what Network Firewall should do with the packets in a traffic flow when the flow matches the stateful rule criteria. For all actions, Network Firewall performs the specified action and discontinues stateful inspection of the traffic flow.
The actions for a stateful rule are defined as follows:
PASS - Permits the packets to go to the intended destination.
DROP - Blocks the packets from going to the intended destination and sends an alert log message, if alert logging is configured in the Firewall LoggingConfiguration .
ALERT - Permits the packets to go to the intended destination and sends an alert log message, if alert logging is configured in the Firewall LoggingConfiguration . You can use this action to test a rule that you intend to use to drop traffic. You can enable the rule with ALERT action, verify in the logs that the rule is filtering as you want, then change the action to DROP .
Header (dict) --
The stateful inspection criteria for this rule, used to inspect traffic flows.

For the flags that are specified in the masks setting, the following must be true for the packet to match:
The ones that are set in this flags setting must be set in the packet.
The ones that are not set in this flags setting must also not be set in the packet.
(string) --
Masks (list) --
The set of flags to consider in the inspection. To inspect all flags in the valid values list, leave this with no setting.
(string) --
Actions (list) --
The actions to take on a packet that matches one of the stateless rule definition's match attributes. You must specify a standard action and you can add custom actions.
Note
Network Firewall only forwards a packet for stateful rule inspection if you specify aws:forward_to_sfe for a rule that the packet matches, or if the packet doesn't match any stateless rule and you specify aws:forward_to_sfe for the StatelessDefaultActions setting for the FirewallPolicy .
For every rule, you must specify exactly one of the following standard actions.
aws:pass - Discontinues all inspection of the packet and permits it to go to its intended destination.
aws:drop - Discontinues all inspection of the packet and blocks it from going to its intended destination.
aws:forward_to_sfe - Discontinues stateless inspection of the packet and forwards it to the stateful rule engine for inspection.
Additionally, you can specify a custom action. To do this, you define a custom action by name and type, then provide the name you've assigned to the action in this Actions setting. For information about the options, see CustomAction .
To provide more than one action in this setting, separate the settings with a comma. For example, if you have a custom PublishMetrics action that you've named MyMetricsAction , then you could specify the standard action aws:pass and the custom action with [“aws:pass”, “MyMetricsAction”] .
(string) --
Priority (integer) --
Indicates the order in which to run this rule relative to all of the rules that are defined for a stateless rule group. Network Firewall evaluates the rules in a rule group starting with the lowest priority setting. You must ensure that the priority settings are unique for the rule group.
Each stateless rule group uses exactly one StatelessRulesAndCustomActions object, and each StatelessRulesAndCustomActions contains exactly one StatelessRules object. To ensure unique priority settings for your rule groups, set unique priorities for the stateless rules that you define inside any single StatelessRules object.
You can change the priority settings of your rules at any time. To make it easier to insert rules later, number them so there's a wide range in between, for example use 100, 200, and so on.
CustomActions (list) --
Defines an array of individual custom action definitions that are available for use by the stateless rules in this StatelessRulesAndCustomActions specification. You name each custom action that you define, and then you can use it by name in your StatelessRule RuleDefinition Actions specification.
(dict) --
An optional, non-standard action to use for stateless packet handling. You can define this in addition to the standard action that you must specify.
You define and name the custom actions that you want to be able to use, and then you reference them by name in your actions settings.
You can use custom actions in the following places:
In a rule group's StatelessRulesAndCustomActions specification. The custom actions are available for use by name inside the StatelessRulesAndCustomActions where you define them. You can use them for your stateless rule actions to specify what to do with a packet that matches the rule's match attributes.
In a FirewallPolicy specification, in StatelessCustomActions . The custom actions are available for use inside the policy where you define them. You can use them for the policy's default stateless actions settings to specify what to do with packets that don't match any of the policy's stateless rules.
ActionName (string) --
The descriptive name of the custom action. You can't change the name of a custom action after you create it.
ActionDefinition (dict) --
The custom action associated with the action name.
PublishMetricAction (dict) --
Stateless inspection criteria that publishes the specified metrics to Amazon CloudWatch for the matching packet. This setting defines a CloudWatch dimension value to be published.
You can pair this custom action with any of the standard stateless rule actions. For example, you could pair this in a rule action with the standard action that forwards the packet for stateful inspection. Then, when a packet matches the rule, Network Firewall publishes metrics for the packet and forwards it.
Dimensions (list) --
(dict) --
The value to use in an Amazon CloudWatch custom metric dimension. This is used in the PublishMetrics CustomAction . A CloudWatch custom metric dimension is a name/value pair that's part of the identity of a metric.

For more information about CloudWatch custom metric dimensions, see Publishing Custom Metrics in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide .
Value (string) --
The value to use in the custom metric dimension.
StatefulRuleOptions (dict) --
Additional options governing how Network Firewall handles stateful rules. The policies where you use your stateful rule group must have stateful rule options settings that are compatible with these settings.
RuleOrder (string) --
Indicates how to manage the order of the rule evaluation for the rule group. DEFAULT_ACTION_ORDER is the default behavior. Stateful rules are provided to the rule engine as Suricata compatible strings, and Suricata evaluates them based on certain settings. For more information, see Evaluation order for stateful rules in the Network Firewall Developer Guide .

string
[REQUIRED]
A token used for optimistic locking. Network Firewall returns a token to your requests that access the rule group. The token marks the state of the rule group resource at the time of the request.
To make changes to the rule group, you provide the token in your request. Network Firewall uses the token to ensure that the rule group hasn't changed since you last retrieved it. If it has changed, the operation fails with an InvalidTokenException . If this happens, retrieve the rule group again to get a current copy of it with a current token. Reapply your changes as needed, then try the operation again using the new token.
string
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the rule group.
You must specify the ARN or the name, and you can specify both.
string
The descriptive name of the rule group. You can't change the name of a rule group after you create it.
You must specify the ARN or the name, and you can specify both.
dict
An object that defines the rule group rules.
Note
You must provide either this rule group setting or a Rules setting, but not both.
RuleVariables (dict) --
Settings that are available for use in the rules in the rule group. You can only use these for stateful rule groups.
IPSets (dict) --
A list of IP addresses and address ranges, in CIDR notation.
(string) --

(dict) --
Configures one or more IP set references for a Suricata-compatible rule group. This is used in CreateRuleGroup or UpdateRuleGroup . An IP set reference is a rule variable that references a resource that you create and manage in another Amazon Web Services service, such as an Amazon VPC prefix list. Network Firewall IP set references enable you to dynamically update the contents of your rules. When you create, update, or delete the IP set you are referencing in your rule, Network Firewall automatically updates the rule's content with the changes. For more information about IP set references in Network Firewall, see Using IP set references in the Network Firewall Developer Guide .
Network Firewall currently supports only Amazon VPC prefix lists as IP set references.
ReferenceArn (string) --
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the resource that you are referencing in your rule group.
RulesSource (dict) -- [REQUIRED]
The stateful rules or stateless rules for the rule group.
RulesString (string) --

(string) --
Actions (list) -- [REQUIRED]
The actions to take on a packet that matches one of the stateless rule definition's match attributes. You must specify a standard action and you can add custom actions.
Note
Network Firewall only forwards a packet for stateful rule inspection if you specify aws:forward_to_sfe for a rule that the packet matches, or if the packet doesn't match any stateless rule and you specify aws:forward_to_sfe for the StatelessDefaultActions setting for the FirewallPolicy .
For every rule, you must specify exactly one of the following standard actions.
aws:pass - Discontinues all inspection of the packet and permits it to go to its intended destination.
aws:drop - Discontinues all inspection of the packet and blocks it from going to its intended destination.
aws:forward_to_sfe - Discontinues stateless inspection of the packet and forwards it to the stateful rule engine for inspection.
Additionally, you can specify a custom action. To do this, you define a custom action by name and type, then provide the name you've assigned to the action in this Actions setting. For information about the options, see CustomAction .
To provide more than one action in this setting, separate the settings with a comma. For example, if you have a custom PublishMetrics action that you've named MyMetricsAction , then you could specify the standard action aws:pass and the custom action with [“aws:pass”, “MyMetricsAction”] .
(string) --
Priority (integer) -- [REQUIRED]
Indicates the order in which to run this rule relative to all of the rules that are defined for a stateless rule group. Network Firewall evaluates the rules in a rule group starting with the lowest priority setting. You must ensure that the priority settings are unique for the rule group.
Each stateless rule group uses exactly one StatelessRulesAndCustomActions object, and each StatelessRulesAndCustomActions contains exactly one StatelessRules object. To ensure unique priority settings for your rule groups, set unique priorities for the stateless rules that you define inside any single StatelessRules object.
You can change the priority settings of your rules at any time. To make it easier to insert rules later, number them so there's a wide range in between, for example use 100, 200, and so on.
CustomActions (list) --
Defines an array of individual custom action definitions that are available for use by the stateless rules in this StatelessRulesAndCustomActions specification. You name each custom action that you define, and then you can use it by name in your StatelessRule RuleDefinition Actions specification.
(dict) --
An optional, non-standard action to use for stateless packet handling. You can define this in addition to the standard action that you must specify.
You define and name the custom actions that you want to be able to use, and then you reference them by name in your actions settings.
You can use custom actions in the following places:
In a rule group's StatelessRulesAndCustomActions specification. The custom actions are available for use by name inside the StatelessRulesAndCustomActions where you define them. You can use them for your stateless rule actions to specify what to do with a packet that matches the rule's match attributes.
In a FirewallPolicy specification, in StatelessCustomActions . The custom actions are available for use inside the policy where you define them. You can use them for the policy's default stateless actions settings to specify what to do with packets that don't match any of the policy's stateless rules.
ActionName (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The descriptive name of the custom action. You can't change the name of a custom action after you create it.
ActionDefinition (dict) -- [REQUIRED]
The custom action associated with the action name.
PublishMetricAction (dict) --
Stateless inspection criteria that publishes the specified metrics to Amazon CloudWatch for the matching packet. This setting defines a CloudWatch dimension value to be published.
You can pair this custom action with any of the standard stateless rule actions. For example, you could pair this in a rule action with the standard action that forwards the packet for stateful inspection. Then, when a packet matches the rule, Network Firewall publishes metrics for the packet and forwards it.
Dimensions (list) -- [REQUIRED]
(dict) --
The value to use in an Amazon CloudWatch custom metric dimension. This is used in the PublishMetrics CustomAction . A CloudWatch custom metric dimension is a name/value pair that's part of the identity of a metric.
Network Firewall sets the dimension name to CustomAction and you provide the dimension value.
For more information about CloudWatch custom metric dimensions, see Publishing Custom Metrics in the Amazon CloudWatch User Guide .
Value (string) -- [REQUIRED]
The value to use in the custom metric dimension.
StatefulRuleOptions (dict) --
Additional options governing how Network Firewall handles stateful rules. The policies where you use your stateful rule group must have stateful rule options settings that are compatible with these settings.
RuleOrder (string) --
Indicates how to manage the order of the rule evaluation for the rule group. DEFAULT_ACTION_ORDER is the default behavior. Stateful rules are provided to the rule engine as Suricata compatible strings, and Suricata evaluates them based on certain settings. For more information, see Evaluation order for stateful rules in the Network Firewall Developer Guide .
string
A string containing stateful rule group rules specifications in Suricata flat format, with one rule per line. Use this to import your existing Suricata compatible rule groups.
Note
You must provide either this rules setting or a populated RuleGroup setting, but not both.
You can provide your rule group specification in Suricata flat format through this setting when you create or update your rule group. The call response returns a RuleGroup object that Network Firewall has populated from your string.
string
Indicates whether the rule group is stateless or stateful. If the rule group is stateless, it contains stateless rules. If it is stateful, it contains stateful rules.
Note
This setting is required for requests that do not include the RuleGroupARN .
string
A description of the rule group.
boolean
Indicates whether you want Network Firewall to just check the validity of the request, rather than run the request.
If set to TRUE , Network Firewall checks whether the request can run successfully, but doesn't actually make the requested changes. The call returns the value that the request would return if you ran it with dry run set to FALSE , but doesn't make additions or changes to your resources. This option allows you to make sure that you have the required permissions to run the request and that your request parameters are valid.
If set to FALSE , Network Firewall makes the requested changes to your resources.
dict
A complex type that contains settings for encryption of your rule group resources.
KeyId (string) --
The ID of the Amazon Web Services Key Management Service (KMS) customer managed key. You can use any of the key identifiers that KMS supports, unless you're using a key that's managed by another account. If you're using a key managed by another account, then specify the key ARN. For more information, see Key ID in the Amazon Web Services KMS Developer Guide .
Type (string) -- [REQUIRED]
