FirewallCreateResponse { firewall }

firewall?: Firewall { id, created_at, droplet_ids, 6 more }

id?: string

A time value given in ISO8601 combined date and time format that represents when the firewall was created.

formatdate-time

droplet_ids?: Array<number> | null

An array containing the IDs of the Droplets assigned to the firewall.

Requires droplet:read scope.

inbound_rules?: Array<InboundRule> | null

ports: string

The ports on which traffic will be allowed specified as a string containing a single port, a range (e.g. "8000-9000"), or "0" when all ports are open for a protocol. For ICMP rules this parameter will always return "0".

The type of traffic to be allowed. This may be one of tcp, udp, or icmp.

Accepts one of the following:

"tcp"

"udp"

"icmp"

sources: FirewallRuleTarget { addresses, droplet_ids, kubernetes_ids, 2 more }

An object specifying locations from which inbound traffic will be accepted.

droplet_ids?: Array<number>

An array containing the IDs of the Droplets to which the firewall will allow traffic.

kubernetes_ids?: Array<string>

An array containing the IDs of the Kubernetes clusters to which the firewall will allow traffic.

load_balancer_uids?: Array<string>

An array containing the IDs of the load balancers to which the firewall will allow traffic.

tags?: Array<string> | null

A flat array of tag names as strings to be applied to the resource. Tag names must exist in order to be referenced in a request.

Requires tag:create and tag:read scopes.

name?: string

A human-readable name for a firewall. The name must begin with an alphanumeric character. Subsequent characters must either be alphanumeric characters, a period (.), or a dash (-).

outbound_rules?: Array<OutboundRule> | null

destinations: FirewallRuleTarget { addresses, droplet_ids, kubernetes_ids, 2 more }

An object specifying locations to which outbound traffic that will be allowed.

addresses?: Array<string>

An array of strings containing the IPv4 addresses, IPv6 addresses, IPv4 CIDRs, and/or IPv6 CIDRs to which the firewall will allow traffic.

droplet_ids?: Array<number>

An array containing the IDs of the Droplets to which the firewall will allow traffic.

kubernetes_ids?: Array<string>

An array containing the IDs of the Kubernetes clusters to which the firewall will allow traffic.

load_balancer_uids?: Array<string>

An array containing the IDs of the load balancers to which the firewall will allow traffic.

tags?: Array<string> | null

Requires tag:create and tag:read scopes.

ports: string

protocol: "tcp" | "udp" | "icmp"

The type of traffic to be allowed. This may be one of tcp, udp, or icmp.

Accepts one of the following:

"tcp"

"udp"

"icmp"

pending_changes?: Array<PendingChange>

An array of objects each containing the fields "droplet_id", "removing", and "status". It is provided to detail exactly which Droplets are having their security policies updated. When empty, all changes have been successfully applied.

droplet_id?: number

removing?: boolean

status?: string

status?: "waiting" | "succeeded" | "failed"

A status string indicating the current state of the firewall. This can be "waiting", "succeeded", or "failed".

Accepts one of the following:

"waiting"

"succeeded"

"failed"

tags?: Array<string> | null

A flat array of tag names as strings to be applied to the resource. Tag names must exist in order to be referenced in a request.

Requires tag:create and tag:read scopes.
