Default: 2

Enumeration values:

  • 1

  • 2

  • 3

full_detection

Boolean

The detection mode in Precise Protection.

  • false: Instant detection. When a request hits the blocking conditions in Precise Protection, WAF terminates checks and blocks the request immediately.

  • true: Full detection. If a request hits the blocking conditions in Precise Protection, WAF does not block the request immediately. Instead, it blocks the requests until other checks are finished.
