API prioritization match rule

Every policy version specifies the match rules that govern how the Cloudlet is used. Matches specify conditions that need to be met in the incoming request.

Use the akamai_cloudlets_api_prioritization_match_rule data source to build a match rule JSON object for the API Prioritization Cloudlet.

Example

This example returns the JSON-encoded rules for the API Prioritization Cloudlet.

data "akamai_cloudlets_api_prioritization_match_rule" "example" {
    match_rules {
        name = "rule"
        disabled = false
        start = 1644865045
        end = 1645037845
        match_url = "example.com"
        pass_through_percent = 10
        matches {
            case_sensitive = true
            match_type = "method"
            match_operator = "equals"
            negate = false
            object_match_value {
                type = "simple"
                value = ["POST"]
            }
        }
    }
}

Argument reference

This data source supports these arguments:

• match_rules - (Optional) A list of Cloudlet-specific match rules for a policy.

  • name - (Optional) The name of the rule.

  • type - (Optional) The type of Cloudlet the rule is for. For example, the string for API Prioritization is apMatchRule.

  • start - (Optional) The start time for this match. Specify the value in UTC in seconds since the epoch.

  • end - (Optional) The end time for this match. Specify the value in UTC in seconds since the epoch.

  • matches - (Optional) A list of conditions to apply to a Cloudlet, including:

    • match_type - (Optional) The type of match used, either header, hostname, path, extension, query, cookie, deviceCharacteristics, clientip, continent, countrycode, regioncode, protocol, method, or proxy.

    • match_value - (Optional) This depends on the match_type. If the match_type is hostname, then match_value is the fully qualified domain name, like www.akamai.com.

    • match_operator - (Optional) Compares a string expression with a pattern, either contains, exists, or equals.

    • case_sensitive - (Optional) Whether the match is case sensitive.

    • negate - (Optional) Whether to negate the match.

    • check_ips - (Optional) For clientip, continent, countrycode, proxy, and regioncode match types, this defines the part of the request that determines the IP address to use. Values include the connecting IP address (CONNECTING_IP) and the X_Forwarded_For header (XFF_HEADERS). To select both, enter the two values separated by a space delimiter. When both values are included, the connecting IP address is evaluated first.

    • object_match_value - (Optional) If match_value is empty, this argument is required. An object used when a rule includes more complex match criteria, like multiple value attributes. Includes these sub-arguments:

      • name - (Optional) If you're using a match_type that supports name attributes, specify the part the incoming request to match on, either cookie, header, parameter, or query.

      • type - (Required) The type of the array, either object or simple. Use the simple option when adding only an array of string-based values.

      • name_case_sensitive - (Optional) Whether the name argument should be evaluated based on case sensitivity.

      • name_has_wildcard - (Optional) Whether the name argument includes wildcards.

      • options - (Optional) If you set the type argument to object, use this array to list the values to match on.

        • value - (Optional) Specify the values in the incoming request to match on.
        • value_has_wildcard - (Optional) Whether the value argument includes wildcards.
        • value_case_sensitive - (Optional) Whether the value argument should be evaluated based on case sensitivity.
        • value_escaped - (Optional) Whether the value argument should be compared in an escaped form.

      • value - (Optional) If you set the type argument to simple, specify the values in the incoming request to match on.

• match_url - (Optional) If you're using a URL match, this specifies the URL that the Cloudlet uses to match the incoming request.

• pass_through_percent- (Required) Entering a value in the range of 0.0 to 99.0 specifies the percent of requests that pass through to the origin. Enter 100 to always have the request pass through to the origin.

• disabled - (Optional) Whether to disable a rule so it is not evaluated against incoming requests.

Attributes reference
