Regex Capabilities in Azure WAF via Terraform

Sena Sarici 20

Hello,

I am currently working on deploying Azure Web Application Firewall (WAF) custom rules using Terraform. I understand that I can use regex expressions when creating custom rules directly through the Azure Portal. However, I am unsure if this regex support is available when defining custom rules in Terraform.

Can anyone confirm whether Terraform's Azure WAF module currently supports regex for custom rules? If not, is there any plan to include this feature in future updates?

For example:

Hello , Welcome to MS Q&A

Yes, Terraforms Azure WAF module supports the use of regular expressions (regex) in custom rules. This capability allows for more advanced matching conditions when creating custom rules for the Web Application Firewall.

For more detailed information, you can refer to the following resources:https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/azurerm/latest/docs/resources/web_application_firewall_policy

Thank you for confirming, Deepanshu.

How can I define the following regex operator in the .tf format in that case? Can you help me with that as well?

This was exported from Azure WAF custom rules.

This is the terraform file I need to fill out the related values but I cannot define it properly.

match_conditions { match_variables { variable_name = "RequestUri" } operator = "Regex" negation_condition = false match_values = [ "", ]
