Filter Mode Rule¶

The filter mode allows you to enable and disable the blocking of requests to various parts of a web application.

To set a filter mode, create a Set traffic filtration mode rule and select the appropriate mode.

The filter mode can take one of the following values:

• default: the system will work in accordance with the parameters specified in the NGINX configuration files.

• off: the analysis and filtration of requests are disabled completely.

• monitoring: the requests are analyzed and displayed in the interface but they are not blocked.

• blocking: malicious requests are blocked and displayed in the interface.

To implement this rule, the NGINX configuration files must permit centralized management of the operation mode.

Example: Disabling Request Blocking During User Registration¶

If the following conditions take place:

• new user registration is available at example.com/signup

• it is better to overlook an attack than to lose a customer

Then, to create a rule disabling blocking during user registration

1. Go to the Rules tab
2. Find the branch for example.com/signup, and click Add rule
3. Choose Set traffic filtration mode
4. Choose operation mode monitoring
