A communication entry specifies the security policy between the workload groups
A communication entry indicates the action to be performed for various types of traffic flowing between workload groups. This type is deprecated. Use the type Rule instead.
| Name | Description | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| _create_time | Timestamp of resource creation | EpochMsTimestamp | Readonly Sortable |
| _create_user | ID of the user who created this resource | string | Readonly |
| _last_modified_time | Timestamp of last modification | EpochMsTimestamp | Readonly Sortable |
| _last_modified_user | ID of the user who last modified this resource | string | Readonly |
| _links | References related to this resource The server will populate this field when returing the resource. Ignored on PUT and POST. |
array of ResourceLink | Readonly |
| _protection | Indicates protection status of this resource Protection status is one of the following: PROTECTED - the client who retrieved the entity is not allowed to modify it. 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. If the _revision provided in a PUT request is missing or stale, the operation will be rejected. |
int | |
| _schema | Schema for this resource | string | Readonly |
| _self | Link to this resource | SelfResourceLink | Readonly |
| _system_owned | Indicates system owned resource | boolean | Readonly |
| action | Action The action to be applied to all the services. |
string | Enum: ALLOW, DROP, REJECT |
| children | subtree for this type within policy tree subtree for this type within policy tree containing nested elements. |
array of ChildPolicyConfigResource Children are not allowed for this type |
|
| description | Description of this resource | string | Maximum length: 1024 Sortable |
| destination_groups | Destination group paths We need paths as duplicate names may exist for groups under different domains.In order to specify all groups, use the constant "ANY". This is case insensitive. If "ANY" is used, it should be the ONLY element in the group array. Error will be thrown if ANY is used in conjunction with other values. |
array of string | Maximum items: 128 |
| direction | Direction Define direction of traffic. |
string | Enum: IN, OUT, IN_OUT Default: "IN_OUT" |
| disabled | Flag to disable the rule Flag to disable the rule. Default is enabled. |
boolean | Default: "False" |
| display_name | Identifier to use when displaying entity in logs or GUI Defaults to ID if not set |
string | Maximum length: 255 Sortable |
| id | Unique identifier of this resource | string | Sortable |
| logged | Enable logging flag Flag to enable packet logging. Default is disabled. |
boolean | Default: "False" |
| marked_for_delete | Indicates whether the intent object is marked for deletion Intent objects are not directly deleted from the system when a delete is invoked on them. They are marked for deletion and only when all the realized entities for that intent object gets deleted, the intent object is deleted. Objects that are marked for deletion are not returned in GET call. One can use the search API to get these objects. |
boolean | Readonly Default: "False" |
| notes | Text for additional notes on changes Text for additional notes on changes. |
string | |
| overridden | Indicates whether this object is the overridden intent object Global intent objects cannot be modified by the user. However, certain global intent objects can be overridden locally by use of this property. In such cases, the overridden local values take precedence over the globally defined values for the properties. |
boolean | Readonly Default: "False" |
| parent_path | Path of its parent Path of its parent |
string | Readonly |
| path | Absolute path of this object Absolute path of this object |
string | Readonly |
| relative_path | Relative path of this object Path relative from its parent |
string | Readonly |
| resource_type | Must be set to the value CommunicationEntry | string | |
| scope | The list of policy paths where the communication entry is applied
Edge/LR/T0/T1/LRP/CGW/MGW/etc. Note that a given rule can be applied on multiple LRs/LRPs. |
array of string | Maximum items: 128 |
| sequence_number | Sequence number of the this CommunicationEntry This field is used to resolve conflicts between multiple CommunicationEntries under CommunicationMap for a Domain If no sequence number is specified in the payload, a value of 0 is assigned by default. If there are multiple communication entries with the same sequence number then their order is not deterministic. If a specific order of communication entry is desired, then one has to specify unique sequence numbers or use the POST request on the communication entry entity with a query parameter action=revise to let the framework assign a sequence number |
int | |
| services | Names of services In order to specify all services, use the constant "ANY". This is case insensitive. If "ANY" is used, it should be the ONLY element in the services array. Error will be thrown if ANY is used in conjunction with other values. |
array of string | Maximum items: 128 |
| source_groups | Source group paths We need paths as duplicate names may exist for groups under different domains. In order to specify all groups, use the constant "ANY". This is case insensitive. If "ANY" is used, it should be the ONLY element in the group array. Error will be thrown if ANY is used in conjunction with other values. |
array of string | Maximum items: 128 |
| tag | Tag applied on the communication entry User level field which will be printed in CLI and packet logs. |
string | Maximum length: 32 |
| 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. |
