Request Syntax

response = client.describe_rule_group_metadata(
    RuleGroupName='string',
    RuleGroupArn='string',
    Type='STATELESS'|'STATEFUL'
)
Parameters:

  • RuleGroupName (string) –

    The descriptive name of the rule group. You can’t change the name of a rule group after you create it.

    You must specify the ARN or the name, and you can specify both.

  • RuleGroupArn (string) –

    The descriptive name of the rule group. You can’t change the name of a rule group after you create it.

    You must specify the ARN or the name, and you can specify both.

  • Type (string) –

    Indicates whether the rule group is stateless or stateful. If the rule group is stateless, it contains stateless rules. If it is stateful, it contains stateful rules.

    Note

    This setting is required for requests that do not include the RuleGroupARN.

Return type:

dict

Returns:

Response Structure

  • (dict) –

    • RuleGroupArn (string) –

      The descriptive name of the rule group. You can’t change the name of a rule group after you create it.

      You must specify the ARN or the name, and you can specify both.

    • RuleGroupName (string) –

      The descriptive name of the rule group. You can’t change the name of a rule group after you create it.

      You must specify the ARN or the name, and you can specify both.

    • Description (string) –

      Returns the metadata objects for the specified rule group.

    • Type (string) –

      Indicates whether the rule group is stateless or stateful. If the rule group is stateless, it contains stateless rules. If it is stateful, it contains stateful rules.

      Note

      This setting is required for requests that do not include the RuleGroupARN.

    • Capacity (integer) –

      The maximum operating resources that this rule group can use. Rule group capacity is fixed at creation. When you update a rule group, you are limited to this capacity. When you reference a rule group from a firewall policy, Network Firewall reserves this capacity for the rule group.

      You can retrieve the capacity that would be required for a rule group before you create the rule group by calling CreateRuleGroup with DryRun set to TRUE.

    • StatefulRuleOptions (dict) –

      Additional options governing how Network Firewall handles the rule group. You can only use these for stateful rule groups.

      • RuleOrder (string) –

        Indicates how to manage the order of the rule evaluation for the rule group. DEFAULT_ACTION_ORDER is the default behavior. Stateful rules are provided to the rule engine as Suricata compatible strings, and Suricata evaluates them based on certain settings. For more information, see Evaluation order for stateful rules in the Network Firewall Developer Guide.

    • LastModifiedTime (datetime) –

      The last time that the rule group was changed.
