# Getting information about a WAF rule set

{% list tabs group=instructions %}

- Management console {#console}

  1. In the [management console](https://console.yandex.cloud), select the [folder](../../resource-manager/concepts/resources-hierarchy.md#folder) containing the [WAF profile](../concepts/waf.md).
  1. Navigate to **Smart Web Security**.
  1. In the left-hand panel, select ![image](../../_assets/smartwebsecurity/waf.svg) **WAF profiles**.
  1. Select the profile with the rule set you need.
  1. The **Rule sets in order of priority** section will display the information on rule sets:
     * Rule set version.
     * Number of active rules.
     * Anomaly threshold and paranoia level (for the OWASP set).

- Terraform

  With [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/), you can quickly create a cloud infrastructure in Yandex Cloud and manage it using configuration files. These files store the infrastructure description written in HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL). If you change the configuration files, Terraform automatically detects which part of your configuration is already deployed, and what should be added or removed.
  
  Terraform is distributed under the [Business Source License](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform/blob/main/LICENSE). The [Yandex Cloud provider for Terraform](https://github.com/yandex-cloud/terraform-provider-yandex) is distributed under the [MPL-2.0](https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/MPL/2.0/) license.
  
  For more information about the provider resources, see the guides on the [Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/docs/providers/yandex/index.html) website or [its mirror](../../terraform/index.md).

  If you do not have Terraform yet, [install it and configure the Yandex Cloud provider](../../tutorials/infrastructure-management/terraform-quickstart.md#install-terraform).
  
  
  To manage infrastructure using Terraform under a service account or user accounts (a Yandex account, a federated account, or a local user), [authenticate](../../terraform/authentication.md) using the appropriate method.

  To get information about a [WAF rule set](../concepts/waf.md#rules-set) using Terraform:

  1. Add the `data` and `output` sections to the Terraform configuration file:

      ```hcl
      data "yandex_sws_waf_rule_set_descriptor" "owasp4" {
        name    = "OWASP Core Ruleset"
        version = "4.0.0"
      }

      output "waf_rules" {
        value = data.yandex_sws_waf_rule_set_descriptor.owasp4.rules
      }
      ```

      Where:

      * `data "yandex_sws_waf_rule_set_descriptor"`: Description of the WAF rule set as a data source:
        * `name`: Name of the WAF rule set.
        * `version`: Rule set version.
      * `output "waf_rules"`: Output variable that contains information about the WAF rule set:
        * `value`: Return value.

      You can replace `rules` with another variable to get the information you need. For more information about the `yandex_sws_waf_rule_set_descriptor` data source properties, see [this provider guide](../../terraform/data-sources/sws_waf_rule_set_descriptor.md).

  1. Create the resources:

      1. In the terminal, navigate to the configuration file directory.
      1. Make sure the configuration is correct using this command:
      
         ```bash
         terraform validate
         ```
      
         If the configuration is valid, you will get this message:
      
         ```bash
         Success! The configuration is valid.
         ```
      
      1. Run this command:
      
         ```bash
         terraform plan
         ```
      
         You will see a list of resources and their properties. No changes will be made at this step. Terraform will show any errors in the configuration.
      1. Apply the configuration changes:
      
         ```bash
         terraform apply
         ```
      
      1. Type `yes` and press **Enter** to confirm the changes.

      Terraform will create all required resources and display their output variables. To check the results, run this command:

      ```bash
      terraform output
      ```

      Result:

      ```text
      waf_rules = tolist([
        {
          "anomaly_score" = 5
          "id" = "owasp-crs-v4.0.0-id******-method-enforcement"
          "paranoia_level" = 1
        },
      ...
        {
          "anomaly_score" = 5
          "id" = "owasp-crs-v4.0.0-id******-attack-java"
          "paranoia_level" = 4
        },
      ])
      ```

- API {#api}

  Use the [get](../waf/api-ref/WafProfile/get.md) REST API method for the [WafProfile](../waf/api-ref/WafProfile/index.md) resource or the [WafProfile/Get](../waf/api-ref/grpc/WafProfile/get.md) gRPC API call.
