NSX-T Data Center REST API

Create or update a ALBWafPolicy

If a ALBWafPolicy with the alb-WafPolicy-id is not
already present, create a new ALBWafPolicy. If it already exists,
update the ALBWafPolicy. This is a full replace.
This API is only available when using VMware NSX-T.

NOT_PROTECTED - the client who retrieved the entity is allowed to modify it REQUIRE_OVERRIDE - the client who retrieved the entity is a super user and can modify it, but only when providing the request header X-Allow-Overwrite=true. UNKNOWN - the _protection field could not be determined for this entity.	string	Readonly
_revision	Generation of this resource config The _revision property describes the current revision of the resource. To prevent clients from overwriting each other's changes, PUT operations must include the current _revision of the resource, which clients should obtain by issuing a GET operation.

Realization id is helpful for users to debug data path to correlate the configuration with corresponding intent.	string	Readonly

resource_type	Must be set to the value ALBWafPolicy	string
tags	Opaque identifiers meaningful to the API user	array of Tag	Maximum items: 30
unique_id	A unique identifier assigned by the system This is a UUID generated by the GM/LM to uniquely identify entites in a federated environment. For entities that are stretched across multiple sites, the same ID will be used on all the stretched sites.	string	Readonly
