Add an API Prioritization rule
Cloudlets rules determine what Request Control does when an incoming request meets a set of criteria. You can use Cloudlets Policy Manager to add rules, or you can add them using a CSV file.
How to
-
Go to ☰ > CDN > Edge logic Cloudlets.
-
On the Cloudlet Policies screen, click the name of the policy you want to add rules to.
-
On the Policy Details screen, click the version you want to update or click Create New Version.
-
On the Version Details screen, click Add Rule.
-
Complete these fields on the Create a Rule screen:
Field | Description |
|---|---|
General | |
Rule Name | Name this rule. |
Always On | Select if the rule is always applied. |
Start Date/Time | Enter the start date and time for the rule. |
End Date/Time | Enter the end date and time for the rule. |
Match Definition (IF-section) | |
Match Type | Select the match type to use for this rule. See Cloudlets match types for more information. Note: If using an IP address or CIDR list match, review the list of invalid IP addresses and CIDR lists. |
Action (THEN) section | |
Serve Alternate Response | Enable to send the alternate response to all requests. Enabling this option overrides the Likelihood to Origin field. Note: You configure the location of the alternate response in the API Prioritization behavior in Property Manager. |
Likelihood to Origin | Set the likelihood, or probability, that a new request is sent to the origin, and does not receive the alternate response. Setting the slider to 0% prevents new visitors from accessing the origin, but provides origin access to existing priority users. |
- If you want to add another rule, click + in the match section.
- Click Save Rule. The new rule displays first on the Version Details screen.
Cloudlets Policy Manager evaluates rules from top to bottom with the first match winning.
