Rate policies

Returns information about your rate policies. Rate polices help you monitor and moderate the number and rate of all the requests you receive; in turn, this helps you prevent your website from being overwhelmed by a dramatic, and unexpected, surge in traffic.

Scopes: Security configuration; rate policy

Example

terraform {
  required_providers {
    akamai = {
      source = "akamai/akamai"
    }
  }
}

provider "akamai" {
  edgerc = "~/.edgerc"
}

// USE CASE: User wants to view all the rate policies associated with a configuration.

data "akamai_appsec_configuration" "configuration" {
  name = "Documentation"
}
data "akamai_appsec_rate_policies" "rate_policies" {
  config_id = data.akamai_appsec_configuration.configuration.config_id
}
output "rate_policies_output" {
  value = data.akamai_appsec_rate_policies.rate_policies.output_text
}
output "rate_policies_json" {
  value = data.akamai_appsec_rate_policies.rate_policies.json
}

// USE CASE: User wants to see a specific rate policy.

data "akamai_appsec_rate_policies" "rate_policy" {
  config_id      = data.akamai_appsec_configuration.configuration.config_id
  rate_policy_id = "122149"
