Argument Selector

Purpose

The Argument Selector ensures that vWAF only considers a rule for a given path if the argument in the URL matches a given pattern.

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

Recommendations for use

Use the Argument Selector to create effective paths for PHP applications. To do so, create several identical paths and apply different Argument Selectors to them.
