  1. In the management console, select the folder containing the security profile.
  2. In the list of services, select Smart Web Security.
  3. Select the security profile in question.
  4. The Overview page will show the profile details.

If you do not have the Yandex Cloud CLI installed yet, install and initialize it.

By default, the CLI uses the folder specified when creating the profile. To change the default folder, use the yc config set folder-id <folder_ID> command. You can also set a different folder for any specific command using the --folder-name or --folder-id parameter.

  1. See the description of the CLI command for getting security profile information:

    yc smartwebsecurity security-profile --help
    
  2. Get information about your security profile by running this command with its name or ID specified:

    yc smartwebsecurity security-profile get <security_profile_name>
    

    Result:

    id: fev0mcqgth1q********
    folder_id: b1geoelk7fld********
    name: demo-profile-simple
    default_action: ALLOW
    security_rules:
      - name: smart-protection
        priority: "99999"
        smart_protection:
          mode: API
      - name: rule-condition-2
        priority: "1"
        rule_condition:
          action: ALLOW
          condition:
            authority:
              authorities:
                - exact_match: example.com
                - exact_match: example.net
    created_at: "2024-11-20T17:49:53.615527Z"
    cloud_id: b1gia87mbaom********
    captcha_id: bpna2egcj76e********

With Terraform, 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. The Yandex Cloud provider for Terraform is distributed under the MPL-2.0 license.

For more information about the provider resources, see the relevant documentation on the Terraform website or its mirror.

If you do not have Terraform yet, install it and configure the Yandex Cloud provider.

To get information about a security profile using Terraform:

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

    data "yandex_sws_security_profile" "my-profile" {
      security_profile_id = "<security_profile_ID>"
    }
    
    output "profile-created" {
      value = data.yandex_sws_security_profile.my-profile.created_at
    }
    

    Where:

    • data "yandex_sws_security_profile": Description of the security profile as a data source:
      • security_profile_id: Security profile ID.
    • output "profile-created": Output variable that contains information about the security profile creation timestamp:
      • value: Return value.

    You can replace created_at with any other parameter to get the information you need. For more information about yandex_sws_security_profile data source properties, see this Terraform provider article.

  2. Create the resources:

    1. In the terminal, go to the directory where you edited the configuration file.

    2. Make sure the configuration file is correct using this command:

      terraform validate
      

      If the configuration is correct, you will get this message:

      Success! The configuration is valid.
      
    3. Run this command:

      terraform plan
      

      You will see a detailed list of resources. No changes will be made at this step. If the configuration contains any errors, Terraform will show them.

    4. Apply the changes:

      terraform apply
      
    5. Type yes and press Enter to confirm the changes.

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

    terraform output
    

    Result:

    profile-created = "2024-11-20T17:49:53Z"
    

To get detailed information about a security profile, use the get REST API method for the SecurityProfile resource or the SecurityProfile/Get gRPC API call and provide the security profile ID in the securityProfileId parameter of your request.
