appflow policy¶

The following operations can be performed on "appflow policy":

add appflow policy¶

Adds an Appflow policy. The policy specifies the rule based on which the traffic is evaluated, and the action to be taken if the rule returns "TRUE".

Synopsys¶

add appflow policy <name> <rule> <action> [-comment <string>]

Arguments¶

name

Name for the policy. Must begin with an ASCII alphabetic or underscore (_) character, and must contain only ASCII alphanumeric, underscore, hash (#), period (.), space, colon (:), at

(@), equals (=), and hyphen (-) characters.

The following requirement applies only to the NetScaler CLI:

If the name includes one or more spaces, enclose the name in double or single quotation marks (for example, "my appflow policy" or 'my appflow policy').

rule

Expression or other value against which the traffic is evaluated. Must be a Boolean, default syntax expression. Note:

Maximum length of a string literal in the expression is 255 characters. A longer string can be split into smaller strings of up to 255 characters each, and the smaller strings concatenated with the + operator. For example, you can create a 500-character string as follows: '"<string of 255 characters>" + "<string of 245 characters>"'

The following requirements apply only to the NetScaler CLI:

If the expression includes one or more spaces, enclose the entire expression in double quotation marks.
If the expression itself includes double quotation marks, escape the quotations by using the \ character.
Alternatively, you can use single quotation marks to enclose the rule, in which case you do not have to escape the double quotation marks.
