Historical

Available skip options

The available skip options in custom rules are the following:

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 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 and/or WAF Managed Rulesets . When skipping a phase, both the account and zone-level entry point rulesets of the phase will be skipped.
- The phases you can skip are the following:
  - http_request_firewall_managed
  - http_ratelimit
- Refer to Phases for more information.
