Edge redirector match rule

akamai_cloudlets_edge_redirector_match_rule

Build a match rule JSON object for the Edge redirector cloudlet.

data "akamai_cloudlets_edge_redirector_match_rule" "my_er_match_rule" { match_rules { name = "my_er_match_rule" match_url = "my_er_match_url.com" redirect_url = "https://my_er_match_url.org" status_code = 301 use_incoming_query_string = false use_relative_url = "none" matches { case_sensitive = false match_operator = "equals" match_type = "method" negate = false object_match_value { type = "simple" value = ["GET"] } } } } output "my_er_match_rule" { value = data.akamai_cloudlets_edge_redirector_match_rule.my_er_match_rule }

Arguments

Pass a match_rules list with the options that best fit your business case. While the match definitions arguments are optional, expected, at a minimum, are the status_code and redirect_url arguments.

Use the information in the match options table to build out your rule's matches criteria.

Argument Required Description
status_code The HTTP response status code. Value is 301 Permanent Redirect or 302 Temporary Redirect.
redirect_url The URL path for the redirect.
name A human-readable name for your rule.
start The start time for the match. Value is UTC through seconds.
end The end time for the match. Value is UTC through seconds.
match_url The URL that the cloudlet uses to match with the incoming request.
disabled Whether to disable a rule so it is not evaluated against incoming requests.
use_relative_url
  • relative_url. The path entered for the redirect URL set it in the response’s location header.
  • copy_scheme_hostname. Combines the incoming request's protocol and hostname with the path provided in redirect_url to create an absolute path.
  • none or an empty string. If this argument is not included or is set to none, then the redirect_url should be fully-qualified URL.
use_incoming_query_string Whether to include the query string from the request in the rewritten or forwarded URL.
matches The match object definitions list.

Match options

The options listed are nested within the matches argument.

All match options are optional.

Argument Description
match_type The type of match used. Value is one of:
  • header
  • hostname
  • path
  • extension
  • query
  • regex
  • cookie
  • deviceCharacteristics
  • clientip
  • continent
  • countrycode
  • regioncode
  • protocol
  • method
  • proxy
match_value A value that reflects your match type, for example, if you set your match type to countrycode, the value would reflect the match country.
match_operator Compares a string expression with a pattern. Value is one of:
  • contains
  • exists
  • equals
case_sensitive Whether the match is case sensitive.
negate Whether to negate the match.
check_ips For clientip, continent, countrycode, proxy, and regioncode match types, the part of the request to use as the IP address. Value options:
  • CONNECTING_IP
  • XFF_HEADERS
  • You can use both separated by a space. When both values are included, the connecting IP address is evaluated first.
object_match_value Use when a rule includes more complex match criteria, like multiple value attributes. Value options:
  • name. One of cookie, header, parameter, or query.
  • type. Required. The type of list, either object or simple.
  • name_case_sensitive. Whether the evaluation of the name argument is case sensitive.
  • name_has_wildcard. Whether the name argument includes wildcards.
  • options. If you set the type argument to object, use this to list the values on which to match.
    • value. The values in the incoming request on which to match.
    • value_has_wildcard. Whether the value argument includes wildcards.
    • value_case_sensitive. Whether the evaluation of the value argument is case sensitive.
    • value_escaped. Whether the compared value argument can be an escaped form.
  • value. If you set the type argument to simple, provide the values in the incoming request on which to match.

Attributes

Returned is a jsonencoded list of the match rules defined in your query. Set the output type to capture the result based on your need as you use the return in the policy resource.
