Configuration for filter action resource.

Properties

(click to see Operations )

Name Data Type Permissions Description
name <String> Read-write Name for the filtering action. Must begin with a letter, number, or the underscore character (_). Other characters allowed, after the first character, are the hyphen (-), period (.) hash (#), space ( ), at sign (@), equals (=), and colon (:) characters. Choose a name that helps identify the type of action. The name of a filter action cannot be changed after it is created.



CLI Users: If the name includes one or more spaces, enclose the name in double or single quotation marks (for example, "my action" or 'my action').

Minimum length = 1
qual <String> Read-write Qualifier, which is the action to be performed. The qualifier cannot be changed after it is set. The available options function as follows:

ADD - Adds the specified HTTP header.

RESET - Terminates the connection, sending the appropriate termination notice to the user's browser.

FORWARD - Redirects the request to the designated service. You must specify either a service name or a page, but not both.

DROP - Silently deletes the request, without sending a response to the user's browser.

CORRUPT - Modifies the designated HTTP header to prevent it from performing the function it was intended to perform, then sends the request/response to the server/browser.

ERRORCODE. Returns the designated HTTP error code to the user's browser (for example, 404, the standard HTTP code for a non-existent Web page).

Possible values = reset, add, corrupt, forward, errorcode, drop
servicename <String> Read-write Service to which to forward HTTP requests. Required if the qualifier is FORWARD.

Minimum length = 1
value <String> Read-write String containing the header_name and header_value. If the qualifier is ADD, specify <header_name>:<header_value>. If the qualifier is CORRUPT, specify only the header_name.

Minimum length = 1
respcode <Double> Read-write Response code to be returned for HTTP requests (for use with the ERRORCODE qualifier).

Minimum value = 1
page <String> Read-write HTML page to return for HTTP requests (For use with the ERRORCODE qualifier).

Minimum length = 1
isdefault <Boolean> Read-only A value of true is returned if it is a default filteraction.
builtin <String[]> Read-only .

Possible values = MODIFIABLE, DELETABLE, IMMUTABLE, PARTITION_ALL
feature <String> Read-only The feature to be checked while applying this config.
__count <Double> Read-only count parameter

Operations

(click to see Properties )

  • ADD
  • DELETE
  • UPDATE
  • UNSET
  • GET (ALL)
  • GET
  • COUNT

Some options that you can use for each operations:

  • Getting warnings in response: NITRO allows you to get warnings in an operation by specifying the 'warning' query parameter as 'yes'. For example, to get warnings while connecting to the NetScaler appliance, the URL is as follows:

    http:// <netscaler-ip-address> /nitro/v1/config/login?warning=yes

    If any, the warnings are displayed in the response payload with the HTTP code '209 X-NITRO-WARNING'.

  • Authenticated access for individual NITRO operations: NITRO allows you to logon to the NetScaler appliance to perform individual operations. You can use this option instead of creating a NITRO session (using the login object) and then using that session to perform all operations,

    To do this, you must specify the username and password in the request header of the NITRO request as follows:

    X-NITRO-USER: <username>

    X-NITRO-PASS: <password>

    Note: In such cases, make sure that the request header DOES not include the following:

    Cookie:NITRO_AUTH_TOKEN= <tokenvalue>

Mandatory parameters are marked in red and placeholder content is marked in green
