Table 6 L7Policy

Parameter

Type

Description

action

  • REDIRECT_TO_POOL: Requests will be forwarded to another backend server group.

  • REDIRECT_TO_LISTENER: Requests will be redirected to an HTTPS listener.

REDIRECT_TO_LISTENER has the highest priority. If requests are to be redirected to an HTTPS listener, other forwarding policies of the listener will become invalid.

Note:

  • If action is set to REDIRECT_TO_POOL, the listener's protocol must be HTTP, HTTPS, or TERMINATED_HTTPS.

  • If action is set to REDIRECT_TO_LISTENER, the listener's protocol must be HTTP.

admin_state_up

Boolean

Specifies the administrative status of the forwarding policy. The default value is true.

This parameter is unsupported. Please do not use it.

description

String

Provides supplementary information about the forwarding policy.

id

String

Specifies the forwarding policy ID.

listener_id

String

Specifies the ID of the listener to which the forwarding policy is added.

name

String

Specifies the forwarding policy name.

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 255

position

Integer

Specifies the forwarding policy priority. This parameter cannot be updated.

This parameter is unsupported. Please do not use it.

Minimum: 1

Maximum: 100

priority

Integer

Specifies the forwarding policy priority. A smaller value indicates a higher priority. The value must be unique for forwarding policies of the same listener. This parameter will take effect only when enhance_l7policy_enable is set to true. If this parameter is passed and enhance_l7policy_enable is set to false, an error will be returned. This parameter is unsupported for shared load balancers.

  • If action is set to REDIRECT_TO_LISTENER, the value can only be 0, indicating REDIRECT_TO_LISTENER has the highest priority.

  • If enhance_l7policy_enable is not enabled, forwarding policies are automatically prioritized based on the original policy sorting logic. The priorities of domain names are independent from each other. For the same domain name, the priorities are sorted in the order of exact match (EQUAL_TO), prefix match (STARTS_WITH), and regular expression match (REGEX). If the matching types are the same, the longer the URL is, the higher the priority is. If a forwarding policy contains only a domain name without a path specified, the path is /, and prefix match is used by default.

  • If enhance_l7policy_enable is set to true and this parameter is not passed, the priority will be a sum of 1 and the highest priority of existing forwarding policy in the same listener by default. If the highest priority of existing forwarding policies is the maximum (10,000), the forwarding policy will fail to be created because the final priority for creating the forwarding policy is the sum of 1 and 10,000, which exceeds the maximum. In this case, specify a value or adjust the priorities of existing forwarding policies. If no forwarding policies exist, the highest priority of existing forwarding policies will be set to 1 by default.

project_id

String

Specifies the project ID of the forwarding policy.

provisioning_status

String

Specifies the provisioning status of the forwarding policy.

The value can be ACTIVE or ERROR.

  • ACTIVE (default): The forwarding policy is provisioned successfully.

redirect_pool_id

String

Specifies the ID of the backend server group that requests will be forwarded to.

  • This parameter is valid and mandatory only when action is set to REDIRECT_TO_POOL.

  • Either redirect_pools_config or redirect_pool_id needs to be specified. If both redirect_pools_config and redirect_pool_id are specified, redirect_pools_config will take effect.

  • If action is set to REDIRECT_TO_LISTENER, this parameter is unavailable.

redirect_listener_id

String

Specifies the ID of the listener to which requests are redirected. This parameter is mandatory when action is set to REDIRECT_TO_LISTENER.

Note:

  • The listener's protocol must be HTTPS or TERMINATED_HTTPS.

  • A listener added to another load balancer is not allowed.

  • This parameter cannot be passed in the API for adding or updating a forwarding policy if action is set to REDIRECT_TO_POOL.

redirect_url

String

Specifies the URL to which requests are forwarded.

Format: protocol://host:port/path?query

This parameter is unsupported. Please do not use it.

rules

Array of RuleRef objects

Lists the forwarding rules in the forwarding policy.

redirect_url_config

RedirectUrlConfig object

Specifies the URL to which requests are forwarded.

For dedicated load balancers, this parameter will take effect only when advanced forwarding is enabled (enhance_l7policy_enable is set to true). If it is passed when enhance_l7policy_enable is set to false, an error will be returned.

This parameter is mandatory when action is set to REDIRECT_TO_URL. It cannot be specified if the value of action is not REDIRECT_TO_URL.

Format: protocol://host:port/path?query

At least one of the four parameters (protocol, host, port, and path) must be passed, or their values cannot be set to ${xxx} at the same time. (${xxx} indicates that the value in the request will be inherited. For example, ${host} indicates the host in the URL to be redirected.)

The values of protocol and port cannot be the same as those of the associated listener, and either host or path must be passed or their values cannot be ${xxx} at the same time.

redirect_pools_extend_config

RedirectPoolsExtendConfig object

Specifies the backend server group that the requests are forwarded to.This parameter is valid only when action is set to REDIRECT_TO_POOL.

fixed_response_config

FixtedResponseConfig object

Specifies the configuration of the page that will be returned. This parameter will take effect when enhance_l7policy_enable is set to true. If this parameter is passed and enhance_l7policy_enable is set to false, an error will be returned.

This parameter is mandatory when action is set to FIXED_RESPONSE. It cannot be specified if the value of action is not FIXED_RESPONSE.

created_at

String

Specifies the time when the forwarding policy was added. The format is yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss'Z' (UTC time).
