Regex Pattern
ruleValue must be a valid Java regex pattern
- Use
(?i) prefix for case-insensitive matching
- Use
\\b for word boundaries

\\d for digits, \\s for whitespace
- Use
[] for character classes, () for groups
Note
- At least one of
headerActive, bodyActive, or paramActive must be true.

Notes and Warnings
-
Action Type:
BLOCK - Rejects the request/response if pattern matches
DELETE - Removes matching content from request/response
-
Content Type:
XML - Filter XML content only
JSON - Filter JSON content only
ALL_BODY - Filter all body content types
-
Active Flags: At least one of
headerActive, bodyActive, or paramActive must be true
-
Regex Pattern:
- Must be valid Java regex pattern
- Use
(?i) for case-insensitive matching
- Use
\\b for word boundaries
- Use
\\d for digits, \\s for whitespace
-
Performance: Content filtering adds processing overhead. Use efficient regex patterns.
-
Pipeline:
REQUEST pipeline filters request content before forwarding
RESPONSE pipeline filters response content before sending to client
-
Block Action: When
action: BLOCK, the entire request/response is rejected
-
Delete Action: When
action: DELETE, only matching content is removed
-
Multiple Filters: Multiple filter definitions are evaluated in order
-
Error Handling: Invalid regex patterns may cause policy execution to fail
-
Deployment: Policy changes require deployment to take effect. Set
deploy: true or deploy manually.
