OverviewSkip the remaining custom rules (current ruleset)Skip phasesSkip productsSkip the remaining custom rules (current phase)Other options Log requests matching the skip rule




The following sections cover the available skip options in custom rules.


Note


If you configure a skip rule at the account level it will only affect other rules/phases configured at the account level, not at the zone level. To skip rules/phases at the zone level you must configure a skip rule at the zone level.




Skip the remaining custom rules (current ruleset)


Dashboard option: All remaining custom rules

API action parameter: ruleset

Skips the remaining rules in the current ruleset.


Skip phases


Dashboard options: All rate limiting rules, All Super Bot Fight Mode rules, and All managed rules

API action parameter: phases

Skips the execution of one or more phases. Based on the phases you can skip, this option effectively allows you to skip rate limiting rules, Super Bot Fight Mode rules, and/or WAF Managed Rules.

The phases you can skip are the following:

http_ratelimit

http_request_sbfm

http_request_firewall_managed

Refer to Phases for more information.


Notes


Currently, you cannot skip Bot Fight Mode, only Super Bot Fight Mode.

Skipping a phase does not skip security products that run outside the Ruleset Engine, such as Browser Integrity Check or Zone Lockdown. To skip those products, use the Skip products option instead.




Skip products


API action parameter: products

Skips specific security products that are not based on the Ruleset Engine. The products you can skip are the following:


Product name in the dashboardAPI value
Zone LockdownzoneLockdown
User Agent BlockinguaBlock
Browser Integrity Checkbic
Hotlink Protectionhot
Security LevelsecurityLevel
Rate limiting rules (Previous version)rateLimit
Managed rules (Previous version)waf



The API values in the table are case-sensitive.


Skip the remaining custom rules (current phase)


Dashboard option: N/A (currently only available via API)

API action parameter: phase

Skips all the remaining rules in the current phase. If used in a custom ruleset (at the zone level), it will skip all remaining rules in the custom ruleset, as well as all later rules in the entry point ruleset where the rule executing the custom ruleset was defined.

Currently, this option is only available at the zone level for the http_request_firewall_custom phase. You can use it in custom rulesets or entry point rulesets.


Other options



Log requests matching the skip rule


Dashboard option: Log matching requests

API action parameter: logging > enabled (boolean, optional)

When disabled, Cloudflare will not log any requests matching the current skip rule, and these requests will not appear in Security Events.

If you do not specify this option in the API, the default value is true for custom rules with the skip action (logs requests matching the skip rule).
