Review policy

Before you implement a policy on an NGINX instance or Config Sync Group, you may want to review it. F5 NGINX One Console creates a policy for your NGINX App Protect WAF system.

Review NGINX App Protect policies

From NGINX One Console, select App Protect > Policies. Select the name of the policy that you want to review. You’ll see the following tabs:

• Details, which includes:
  • Policy Details: Descriptions, status, enforcement type, latest version, and last deployed time.
  • Deployments: List of instances and Config Sync Groups where the NGINX App Protect policy is deployed.
• Policy JSON: The policy, in JSON format. With the Edit button, you can modify this policy.
• Versions: Policy versions that you’ve written. You can apply an older policy to your deployments.

Modify existing policies

From the NGINX One Console, you can also manage existing policies. In the Policies screen, identify a policy, and select Actions. From the menu that appears, you can:

• Edit an existing policy.
• Save As to save an existing policy with a new name. You can use an existing policy as a baseline for further customization.
• Deploy Latest Version to apply the latest revision of an existing policy to the configured instances and Config Sync Groups.
• Export the policy in JSON format.
• Delete the policy. Once confirmed, you’ll lose all work you’ve done on that policy.

If you use Save As to create a new policy, include the app_protect_cookie_seed directive.
