description |

priority |
An integer indicating the priority of a rule in the list. The priority must be a positive value between 0 and 2147483647. Rules are evaluated from highest to lowest priority where 0 is the highest priority and 2147483647 is the lowest priority. |
match |
A match condition that incoming traffic is evaluated against. If it evaluates to true, the corresponding 'action' is enforced. |
match. |
User defined CEVAL expression. A CEVAL expression is used to specify match criteria such as origin.ip, source.region_code and contents in the request header. Expressions containing |
match. |
Textual representation of an expression in Common Expression Language syntax. |
match. |
Optional. Title for the expression, i.e. a short string describing its purpose. This can be used e.g. in UIs which allow to enter the expression. |

match. |
A list of site keys to be used during the validation of reCAPTCHA session-tokens. The provided site keys need to be created from reCAPTCHA API under the same project where the security policy is created. |
match. |

match. |
The configuration options available when specifying versionedExpr. This field must be specified if versionedExpr is specified and cannot be specified if versionedExpr is not specified. |
match. |
CIDR IP address range. Maximum number of srcIpRanges allowed is 10. |
match.config.destIpRanges[] |
CIDR IP address range. This field may only be specified when versionedExpr is set to FIREWALL. |
match.config.layer4Configs[] |
Pairs of IP protocols and ports that the rule should match. This field may only be specified when versionedExpr is set to FIREWALL. |
match.config.layer4Configs[] |
The IP protocol to which this rule applies. The protocol type is required when creating a firewall rule. This value can either be one of the following well known protocol strings ( |
match.config.layer4Configs[] |

If not specified, this rule applies to connections through any port. Example inputs include: This field may only be specified when versionedExpr is set to FIREWALL. |
network |
A match condition that incoming packets are evaluated against for CLOUD_ARMOR_NETWORK security policies. If it matches, the corresponding 'action' is enforced. The match criteria for a rule consists of built-in match fields (like 'srcIpRanges') and potentially multiple user-defined match fields ('userDefinedFields'). Field values may be extracted directly from the packet or derived from it (e.g. 'srcRegionCodes'). Some fields may not be present in every packet (e.g. 'srcPorts'). A user-defined field is only present if the base header is found in the packet and the entire field is in bounds. Each match field may specify which values can match it, listing one or more ranges, prefixes, or exact values that are considered a match for the field. A field value must be present in order to match a specified match field. If no match values are specified for a match field, then any field value is considered to match it, and it's not required to be present. For strings specifying '*' is also equivalent to match all. For a packet to match a rule, all specified match fields must match the corresponding field values derived from the packet. Example: networkMatch: srcIpRanges: - "192.0.2.0/24" - "198.51.100.0/24" userDefinedFields: - name: "ipv4_fragment_offset" values: - "1-0x1fff" The above match condition matches packets with a source IP in 192.0.2.0/24 or 198.51.100.0/24 and a user-defined field named "ipv4_fragment_offset" with a value between 1 and 0x1fff inclusive. |

Response body
Represents an Operation resource.
Google Compute Engine has three Operation resources:
You can use an operation resource to manage asynchronous API requests. For more information, read Handling API responses.
Operations can be global, regional or zonal.
- For global operations, use the
globalOperationsresource. - For regional operations, use the
regionOperationsresource. - For zonal operations, use the
zoneOperationsresource.
For more information, read Global, Regional, and Zonal Resources.
Note that completed Operation resources have a limited retention period.
