waf_get_sampled_requests: Gets detailed information about a specified number of requests--a sample--that AWS WAF randomly selects from among the first 5,000 requests that your AWS resource received during a time range that you choose

Description

Gets detailed information about a specified number of requests\--a sample\--that AWS WAF randomly selects from among the first 5,000 requests that your AWS resource received during a time range that you choose. You can specify a sample size of up to 500 requests, and you can specify any time range in the previous three hours.

Usage

waf_get_sampled_requests(WebAclId, RuleId, TimeWindow, MaxItems)

Arguments

WebAclId

[required] The WebACLId of the WebACL for which you want GetSampledRequests to return a sample of requests.

RuleId

[required] RuleId is one of three values:

The RuleId of the Rule or the RuleGroupId of the RuleGroup for which you want GetSampledRequests to return a sample of requests.
Default_Action, which causes GetSampledRequests to return a sample of the requests that didn't match any of the rules in the specified WebACL.

TimeWindow

[required] The start date and time and the end date and time of the range for which you want GetSampledRequests to return a sample of requests. Specify the date and time in the following format: "2016-09-27T14:50Z". You can specify any time range in the previous three hours.

MaxItems

[required] The number of requests that you want AWS WAF to return from among the first 5,000 requests that your AWS resource received during the time range. If your resource received fewer requests than the value of MaxItems, GetSampledRequests returns information about all of them.

Request syntax

svc$get_sampled_requests(
  WebAclId = "string",
  RuleId = "string",
  TimeWindow = list(
    StartTime = as.POSIXct(
      "2015-01-01"
    ),
    EndTime = as.POSIXct(
      "2015-01-01"
    )
  ),
  MaxItems = 123
)

Details

GetSampledRequests returns a time range, which is usually the time range that you specified. However, if your resource (such as a CloudFront distribution) received 5,000 requests before the specified time range elapsed, GetSampledRequests returns an updated time range. This new time range indicates the actual period during which AWS WAF selected the requests in the sample.

Examples

Run this code

# NOT RUN {
# The following example returns detailed information about 100 requests
# --a sample-- that AWS WAF randomly selects from among the first 5,000
# requests that your AWS resource received between the time period
# 2016-09-27T15:50Z to 2016-09-27T15:50Z.
# }
# NOT RUN {
svc$get_sampled_requests(
  MaxItems = 100L,
  RuleId = "WAFRule-1-Example",
  TimeWindow = list(
    EndTime = "2016-09-27T15:50Z",
    StartTime = "2016-09-27T15:50Z"
  ),
  WebAclId = "createwebacl-1472061481310"
)
