action The integrated cache action to be applied when the system sees content that matches the rules.

storeInGroup The content group that will store the object when the action directive is CACHE.

invalGroups The content group(s) to be invalidated when the action directive is INVAL.

invalObjects The content group(s) whose objects will be invalidated when the action directive is INVAL.

flags Flag.

precedeDefRules Override default request/response cacheability rules.

add cache policy

Creates an integrated caching policy. The newly created policy is in inactive state. To activate the policy, use the bind cache global command.

  • If the expression includes one or more spaces, enclose the entire expression in double quotation marks.

action Action to apply to content that matches the policy.

  • CACHE or MAY_CACHE action - positive cachability policy
  • NOCACHE or MAY_NOCACHE action - negative cachability policy

invalGroups Content group(s) to be invalidated when the INVAL action is applied. Maximum number of content groups that can be specified is 16.

invalObjects Content groups(s) in which the objects will be invalidated if the action is INVAL.

undefAction Action to be performed when the result of rule evaluation is undefined.

Possible values: NOCACHE, RESET
