HTTP request

POST https://compute.googleapis.com/compute/v1/projects/{project}/regions/{region}/securityPolicies

The URL uses gRPC Transcoding syntax.

Path parameters

Parameters
project

string

Project ID for this request.
region

string

Name of the region scoping this request.

Query parameters

Parameters
requestId

string

An optional request ID to identify requests. Specify a unique request ID so that if you must retry your request, the server will know to ignore the request if it has already been completed.

For example, consider a situation where you make an initial request and the request times out. If you make the request again with the same request ID, the server can check if original operation with the same request ID was received, and if so, will ignore the second request. This prevents clients from accidentally creating duplicate commitments.

The request ID must be a valid UUID with the exception that zero UUID is not supported (00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000).
validateOnly

boolean

If true, the request will not be committed.

Fields
userDefinedFields[]

object

Definitions of user-defined fields for CLOUD_ARMOR_NETWORK policies. A user-defined field consists of up to 4 bytes extracted from a fixed offset in the packet, relative to the IPv4, IPv6, TCP, or UDP header, with an optional mask to select certain bits. Rules may then specify matching values for these fields.

Example:

userDefinedFields: - name: "ipv4_fragment_offset" base: IPV4 offset: 6 size: 2 mask: "0x1fff"
userDefinedFields[].name

string

The name of this field. Must be unique within the policy.
userDefinedFields[].base

enum

The base relative to which 'offset' is measured. Possible values are:

  • IPV4: Points to the beginning of the IPv4 header.
  • IPV6: Points to the beginning of the IPv6 header.
  • TCP: Points to the beginning of the TCP header, skipping over any IPv4 options or IPv6 extension headers. Not present for non-first fragments.
  • UDP: Points to the beginning of the UDP header, skipping over any IPv4 options or IPv6 extension headers. Not present for non-first fragments.
required
userDefinedFields[].offset

integer

Offset of the first byte of the field (in network byte order) relative to 'base'.
userDefinedFields[].size

integer

Size of the field in bytes. Valid values: 1-4.
userDefinedFields[].mask

id

string (uint64 format)

[Output Only] The unique identifier for the resource. This identifier is defined by the server.
creationTimestamp

string

[Output Only] Creation timestamp in RFC3339 text format.
name

string

Specifically, the name must be 1-63 characters long and match the regular expression [a-z]([-a-z0-9]*[a-z0-9])? which means the first character must be a lowercase letter, and all following characters must be a dash, lowercase letter, or digit, except the last character, which cannot be a dash.
description

string

An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.
rules[]

object

A list of rules that belong to this policy. There must always be a default rule which is a rule with priority 2147483647 and match all condition (for the match condition this means match "*" for srcIpRanges and for the networkMatch condition every field must be either match "*" or not set). If no rules are provided when creating a security policy, a default rule with action "allow" will be added.
rules[].kind

string

[Output only] Type of the resource. Always compute#securityPolicyRule for security policy rules
rules[].description

string

An optional description of this resource. Provide this property when you create the resource.
rules[].priority

integer

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.
rules[].match

object

A match condition that incoming traffic is evaluated against. If it evaluates to true, the corresponding 'action' is enforced.
rules[].match.expr

object

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 evaluateThreatIntelligence require Cloud Armor Managed Protection Plus tier and are not supported in Edge Policies nor in Regional Policies. Expressions containing evaluatePreconfiguredExpr('sourceiplist-*') require Cloud Armor Managed Protection Plus tier and are only supported in Global Security Policies.
rules[].match.expr.expression

string

Textual representation of an expression in Common Expression Language syntax.
rules[].match.expr.title

string

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.
rules[].match.expr.description

string

Optional. Description of the expression. This is a longer text which describes the expression, e.g. when hovered over it in a UI.
rules[].match.expr.location

string

Optional. String indicating the location of the expression for error reporting, e.g. a file name and a position in the file.
rules[].match.exprOptions

object

The configuration options available when specifying a user defined CEVAL expression (i.e., 'expr').
rules[].match.exprOptions.recaptchaOptions

object

reCAPTCHA configuration options to be applied for the rule. If the rule does not evaluate reCAPTCHA tokens, this field has no effect.
rules[].match.exprOptions.recaptchaOptions.actionTokenSiteKeys[]

string

A list of site keys to be used during the validation of reCAPTCHA action-tokens. The provided site keys need to be created from reCAPTCHA API under the same project where the security policy is created.
rules[].match.exprOptions.recaptchaOptions.sessionTokenSiteKeys[]

string

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.
rules[].match.versionedExpr

enum

Preconfigured versioned expression. If this field is specified, config must also be specified. Available preconfigured expressions along with their requirements are: SRC_IPS_V1 - must specify the corresponding srcIpRange field in config.
rules[].match.config

object

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.
rules[].match.config.srcIpRanges[]

string

CIDR IP address range. Maximum number of srcIpRanges allowed is 10.
rules[].networkMatch

object

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.

rules[].networkMatch.destIpRanges[]

string

Destination IPv4/IPv6 addresses or CIDR prefixes, in standard text format.

    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 globalOperations resource.
    • For regional operations, use the regionOperations resource.
    • For zonal operations, use the zoneOperations resource.

    For more information, read Global, Regional, and Zonal Resources.

    Note that completed Operation resources have a limited retention period.

    If successful, the response body contains data with the following structure:
