To deploy a managed ruleset to a phase, use the [Rulesets API](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ruleset-engine/rulesets-api/). If you are using Terraform, refer to [WAF Managed Rules configuration using Terraform](https://developers.cloudflare.com/terraform/additional-configurations/waf-managed-rulesets/) for more information. If you are using the Cloudflare dashboard, refer to the following pages: * [Deploy a WAF managed ruleset in the dashboard (zone)](https://developers.cloudflare.com/waf/managed-rules/deploy-zone-dashboard/) * [Deploy a WAF managed ruleset in the dashboard (account)](https://developers.cloudflare.com/waf/account/managed-rulesets/deploy-dashboard/) ## Deploy a managed ruleset to a phase at the zone level Use the following workflow to deploy a managed ruleset to a phase at the zone level. 1. Get your [zone ID](https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/account/find-account-and-zone-ids/). 2. Invoke the [List account rulesets](https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/resources/rulesets/methods/list/) operation to obtain the available managed rulesets. Managed rulesets exist at the account level, but you can deploy them to a zone. Find the ruleset ID of the managed ruleset you want to deploy. 3. Identify the [phase](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ruleset-engine/reference/phases-list/) where you want to deploy the managed ruleset. Ensure that the managed ruleset belongs to the same phase where you want to deploy it. 4. Add a rule to the zone-level phase [entry point ruleset](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ruleset-engine/about/rulesets/#entry-point-ruleset) that executes the managed ruleset. Refer to the following example for details on this step. ### Example The following example deploys the [Cloudflare Managed Ruleset](https://developers.cloudflare.com/waf/managed-rules/reference/cloudflare-managed-ruleset/) to the `http_request_firewall_managed` phase of a given zone (`$ZONE_ID`) by creating a rule that executes the managed ruleset. 1. Invoke the [Get a zone entry point ruleset](https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/resources/rulesets/subresources/phases/methods/get/) operation to obtain the definition of the entry point ruleset for the `http_request_firewall_managed` phase. You will need the [zone ID](https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/account/find-account-and-zone-ids/) for this task. ```bash curl "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/$ZONE_ID/rulesets/phases/http_request_firewall_managed/entrypoint" \ --request GET \ --header "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" ``` ```json { "result": { "description": "Zone-level phase entry point", "id": "", "kind": "zone", "last_updated": "2024-03-16T15:40:08.202335Z", "name": "zone", "phase": "http_request_firewall_managed", "rules": [ // ... ], "source": "firewall_managed", "version": "10" }, "success": true, "errors": [], "messages": [] } ``` 2. If the entry point ruleset already exists (that is, if you received a `200 OK` status code and the ruleset definition), take note of the ruleset ID in the response. Then, invoke the [Create a zone ruleset rule](https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/resources/rulesets/subresources/rules/methods/create/) operation to add an `execute` rule to the existing ruleset deploying the Cloudflare Managed Ruleset (with ID `efb7b8c949ac4650a09736fc376e9aee`). By default, the rule will be added at the end of the list of rules already in the ruleset. ```bash curl "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/$ZONE_ID/rulesets/$RULESET_ID/rules" \ --request POST \ --header "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" \ --json '{ "action": "execute", "action_parameters": { "id": "efb7b8c949ac4650a09736fc376e9aee" }, "expression": "true", "description": "Execute the Cloudflare Managed Ruleset" }' ``` ```json { "result": { "id": "", "name": "Zone-level phase entry point", "description": "", "kind": "zone", "version": "11", "rules": [ // ... any existing rules { "id": "", "version": "1", "action": "execute", "action_parameters": { "id": "efb7b8c949ac4650a09736fc376e9aee", "version": "latest" }, "expression": "true", "description": "Execute the Cloudflare Managed Ruleset", "last_updated": "2024-03-18T18:08:14.003361Z", "ref": "", "enabled": true } ], "last_updated": "2024-03-18T18:08:14.003361Z", "phase": "http_request_firewall_managed" }, "success": true, "errors": [], "messages": [] } ``` 3. If the entry point ruleset does not exist (that is, if you received a `404 Not Found` status code in step 1), create it using the [Create a zone ruleset](https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/resources/rulesets/methods/create/) operation. Include a single rule in the `rules` array that executes the Cloudflare Managed Ruleset (with ID `efb7b8c949ac4650a09736fc376e9aee`) for all incoming requests in the zone. ```bash curl "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/zones/$ZONE_ID/rulesets" \ --request POST \ --header "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" \ --json '{ "name": "My ruleset", "description": "Entry point ruleset for WAF managed rulesets", "kind": "zone", "phase": "http_request_firewall_managed", "rules": [ { "action": "execute", "action_parameters": { "id": "efb7b8c949ac4650a09736fc376e9aee" }, "expression": "true", "description": "Execute the Cloudflare Managed Ruleset" } ] }' ``` In this example, the managed ruleset executes the behavior configured by Cloudflare. To customize the behavior of managed rulesets, refer to [Override a managed ruleset](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ruleset-engine/managed-rulesets/override-managed-ruleset/). ## Deploy a managed ruleset to a phase at the account level Use the following workflow to deploy a managed ruleset to a phase at the account level. 1. Get your [account ID](https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/account/find-account-and-zone-ids/). 2. Invoke the [List account rulesets](https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/resources/rulesets/methods/list/) operation to obtain the available managed rulesets. Find the ruleset ID of the managed ruleset you want to deploy. 3. Identify the [phase](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ruleset-engine/reference/phases-list/) where you want to deploy the managed ruleset. Ensure that the managed ruleset belongs to the same phase where you want to deploy it. 4. Add a rule to the account-level phase [entry point ruleset](https://developers.cloudflare.com/ruleset-engine/about/rulesets/#entry-point-ruleset) that executes the managed ruleset. Use parentheses to enclose any custom conditions in the rule expression and end your expression with `and cf.zone.plan eq "ENT"` so that it only applies to zones on an Enterprise plan. Refer to the following example for details on this step. ### Example The following example deploys the [Cloudflare Managed Ruleset](https://developers.cloudflare.com/waf/managed-rules/reference/cloudflare-managed-ruleset/) to the `http_request_firewall_managed` phase of a given account (`$ACCOUNT_ID`) by creating a rule that executes the managed ruleset. The rules in the managed ruleset are executed when the zone name matches one of `example.com` or `anotherexample.com`. 1. Invoke the [Get an account entry point ruleset](https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/resources/rulesets/subresources/phases/methods/get/) operation to obtain the definition of the entry point ruleset for the `http_request_firewall_managed` phase. You will need the [account ID](https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/account/find-account-and-zone-ids/) for this task. Required API token permissions At least one of the following [token permissions](https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/api/reference/permissions/) is required: * `Account WAF Write` * `Account WAF Read` * `Account Rulesets Read` * `Account Rulesets Write` ```bash curl "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/$ACCOUNT_ID/rulesets/phases/http_request_firewall_managed/entrypoint" \ --request GET \ --header "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" ``` ```json { "result": { "description": "Account-level phase entry point", "id": "", "kind": "root", "last_updated": "2024-03-16T15:40:08.202335Z", "name": "root", "phase": "http_request_firewall_managed", "rules": [ // ... ], "source": "firewall_managed", "version": "10" }, "success": true, "errors": [], "messages": [] } ``` 2. If the entry point ruleset already exists (that is, if you received a `200 OK` status code and the ruleset definition), take note of the ruleset ID in the response. Then, invoke the [Create an account ruleset rule](https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/resources/rulesets/subresources/rules/methods/create/) operation to add an `execute` rule to the existing ruleset deploying the [Cloudflare Managed Ruleset](https://developers.cloudflare.com/waf/managed-rules/reference/cloudflare-managed-ruleset/) (with ID `efb7b8c949ac4650a09736fc376e9aee`). By default, the rule will be added at the end of the list of rules already in the ruleset. Required API token permissions At least one of the following [token permissions](https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/api/reference/permissions/) is required: * `Account WAF Write` * `Account Rulesets Write` ```bash curl "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/$ACCOUNT_ID/rulesets/$RULESET_ID/rules" \ --request POST \ --header "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" \ --json '{ "action": "execute", "action_parameters": { "id": "efb7b8c949ac4650a09736fc376e9aee" }, "expression": "(cf.zone.name in {\"example.com\" \"anotherexample.com\"}) and cf.zone.plan eq \"ENT\"", "description": "Execute the Cloudflare Managed Ruleset" }' ``` ```json { "result": { "id": "", "name": "Account-level phase entry point", "description": "", "kind": "root", "version": "11", "rules": [ // ... any existing rules { "id": "", "version": "1", "action": "execute", "action_parameters": { "id": "efb7b8c949ac4650a09736fc376e9aee", "version": "latest" }, "expression": "(cf.zone.name in {\"example.com\" \"anotherexample.com\"}) and cf.zone.plan eq \"ENT\"", "description": "Execute the Cloudflare Managed Ruleset", "last_updated": "2024-03-18T18:30:08.122758Z", "ref": "", "enabled": true } ], "last_updated": "2024-03-18T18:30:08.122758Z", "phase": "http_request_firewall_managed" }, "success": true, "errors": [], "messages": [] } ``` Caution Managed rulesets deployed at the account level will only apply to incoming traffic of zones on an Enterprise plan. The expression of your `execute` rule must end with `and cf.zone.plan eq "ENT"` or else the API operation will fail. 3. If the entry point ruleset does not exist (that is, if you received a `404 Not Found` status code in step 1), create it using the [Create an account ruleset](https://developers.cloudflare.com/api/resources/rulesets/methods/create/) operation. Include a single rule in the `rules` array that executes the Cloudflare Managed Ruleset (with ID `efb7b8c949ac4650a09736fc376e9aee`) for all incoming requests where the zone name matches one of `example.com` or `anotherexample.com`. Required API token permissions At least one of the following [token permissions](https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/api/reference/permissions/) is required: * `Account WAF Write` * `Account Rulesets Write` ```bash curl "https://api.cloudflare.com/client/v4/accounts/$ACCOUNT_ID/rulesets" \ --request POST \ --header "Authorization: Bearer $CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN" \ --json '{ "name": "My ruleset", "description": "Entry point ruleset for WAF managed rulesets", "kind": "root", "phase": "http_request_firewall_managed", "rules": [ { "action": "execute", "action_parameters": { "id": "efb7b8c949ac4650a09736fc376e9aee" }, "expression": "(cf.zone.name in {\"example.com\" \"anotherexample.com\"}) and cf.zone.plan eq \"ENT\"", "description": "Execute the Cloudflare Managed Ruleset" } ] }' ``` In this example, the managed ruleset executes the behavior configured by Cloudflare.
