Time Selector

Purpose

The Time Selector can be used to create path-specific rules dependent on the day of the week and time.

For more information regarding adding and editing Preconditions, see Editing Preconditions.

Recommendations for use

Use the Time Selector to create a different handling sequence for times with a lower load than in high-load phases, for example, or in general to restrict the access to specific times. Any variant can also be created in combination with the Client IP Selector.

Attributes

Attribute	Meaning
timelist	List of time intervals during which the precondition is met when used, which means that vWAF observes the rules stored for the path added to the precondition (assuming any other additional preconditions specified are also met). The decisive factor here is the local system time on the server. The individual time intervals can also overlap. You can also specify multiple time intervals for a day. The precondition is met once the system time is in at least one of the specified time intervals. This specification is made line by line in the sequence: Day of the week, start time, end time. Select the relevant day of the week and the time intervals from the selection lists displayed.
