Description

Arguments

Name

[required] A friendly name or description of the RegexPatternSet. You can't change Name after you create a RegexPatternSet.

Request syntax

svc$create_regex_pattern_set(
  Name = "string",
  ChangeToken = "string"
)

Details

To create and configure a RegexPatternSet, perform the following steps:

1. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of a CreateRegexPatternSet request.

2. Submit a CreateRegexPatternSet request.

3. Use GetChangeToken to get the change token that you provide in the ChangeToken parameter of an UpdateRegexPatternSet request.

4. Submit an UpdateRegexPatternSet request to specify the string that you want AWS WAF to watch for.
