🔶 High Risk Operations — Some operations on this resource have high danger level. Destructive operations may require confirmation.

name - Required String
Name of the Protocol Policer. Must be unique within the namespace

namespace - Required String
Namespace where the Protocol Policer will be created

annotations - Optional Map
Annotations is an unstructured key value map stored with a resource that may be set by external tools to store and retrieve arbitrary metadata

description - Optional String
Human readable description for the object

disable - Optional Bool
A value of true will administratively disable the object

labels - Optional Map
Labels is a user defined key value map that can be attached to resources for organization and filtering

protocol_policer - Optional Block
List of L4 protocol match condition and associated traffic rate limits
See Protocol Policer below for details.

timeouts - Optional Block
See Timeouts below for details.

In addition to all arguments above, the following attributes are exported:

id - Optional String
Unique identifier for the resource


A protocol_policer block supports the following:

policer - Optional Block
Reference to policer object to apply traffic rate limits
See Policer below.

protocol - Optional Block
Protocol and protocol specific flags to be matched in packet
See Protocol below.

A policer block (within protocol_policer) supports the following:

kind - Optional String
When a configuration object(e.g. Virtual_host) refers to another(e.g route) then kind will hold the referred object’s kind (e.g. ‘route’)

name - Optional String
When a configuration object(e.g. Virtual_host) refers to another(e.g route) then name will hold the referred object’s(e.g. Route’s) name

namespace - Optional String
When a configuration object(e.g. Virtual_host) refers to another(e.g route) then namespace will hold the referred object’s(e.g. Route’s) namespace

tenant - Optional String
When a configuration object(e.g. Virtual_host) refers to another(e.g route) then tenant will hold the referred object’s(e.g. Route’s) tenant

uid - Optional String
When a configuration object(e.g. Virtual_host) refers to another(e.g route) then uid will hold the referred object’s(e.g. Route’s) uid

A protocol block (within protocol_policer) supports the following:

dns - Optional Block
Match all DNS packets including UDP and TCP

icmp - Optional Block
ICMP Packet Type. ICMP message type to match in packet
See ICMP below.

tcp - Optional Block
Specification of TCP flag to be matched in a TCP packet
See TCP below.

udp - Optional Block
UDP Packets. Match all UDP packets

An icmp block (within protocol_policer.protocol) supports the following:

type - Optional List Defaults to ECHO_REPLY
Possible values are ECHO_REPLY, ECHO_REQUEST, ALL_ICMP_MSG
[Enum: ECHO_REPLY|ECHO_REQUEST|ALL_ICMP_MSG] ICMP message type to be matched in packet

A tcp block (within protocol_policer.protocol) supports the following:

flags - Optional List Defaults to FIN
Possible values are FIN, SYN, RST, PSH, ACK, URG, ALL_TCP_FLAGS, KEEPALIVE
[Enum: FIN|SYN|RST|PSH|ACK|URG|ALL_TCP_FLAGS|KEEPALIVE] TCP flags. TCP flag to be matched in a TCP packet

A timeouts block supports the following:

Used when deleting the resource

read - Optional String (Defaults to 5 minutes)
Used when retrieving the resource

update - Optional String (Defaults to 10 minutes)
Used when updating the resource


The following type definitions are used throughout this resource. See the full definition here rather than repeated inline.

Object Reference {#common-object-reference}

Section titled “Object Reference {#common-object-reference}”

Transformers apply transformations to input values before matching. Multiple transformers can be applied in order.

ValueDescription
LOWER_CASEConvert to lowercase
UPPER_CASEConvert to uppercase
BASE64_DECODEDecodebase64 content
NORMALIZE_PATHNormalize URL path
REMOVE_WHITESPACERemove whitespace characters
