aws_network_firewall_rule

Use the aws_network_firewall_rule_group InSpec audit resource to test properties of a single specific AWS Network Firewall rule group.

The AWS::NetworkFirewall::RuleGroup resource defines a reusable collection of stateless or stateful network traffic filtering rules.

For additional information, including details on parameters and properties, see the AWS documentation on AWS Network Firewall Rule Group.

Install

This resource is available in the Chef InSpec AWS resource pack.

For information on configuring your AWS environment for Chef InSpec and creating an InSpec profile that uses the InSpec AWS resource pack, see the Chef InSpec documentation on the AWS cloud platform.

Examples

Ensure an update token is available.

describe aws_network_firewall_rule_group(rule_group_name: "RULE_GROUP_NAME") do
  its('update_token') { should eq 'UPDATE_TOKEN' }
end

Ensure that the rule group arn is RuleGroupARN.

describe aws_network_firewall_rule_group(rule_group_name: "RULE_GROUP_NAME") do
    its('rule_group_response.rule_group_arn') { should eq 'ARN' }
end

Matchers

For a full list of available matchers, see our Universal Matchers page.

The controls will pass if the describe method returns at least one result.

exist

Use should to test that the entity exists.

describe aws_network_firewall_rule_group(rule_group_name: "RULE_GROUP_NAME") do
  it { should exist }
end

Use should_not to test the entity does not exist.

describe aws_network_firewall_rule_group(rule_group_name: 'dummy') do
  it { should_not exist }
end

be_available

Use should to check if the entity is available.

describe aws_network_firewall_rule_group(rule_group_name: "RULE_GROUP_NAME") do
  it { should be_available }
end

AWS Permissions

Your Principal will need the NetworkFirewall:Client:DescribeRuleGroupResponse action with Effect set to Allow.
