WAPI to Create Ruleset for Blacklist

[#1]

Hi, I'm now trying to import domains through CSV files on the Infoblox virtual appliance, right now I can import domains to my predefined blacklist rulesets by using WAPI, however I can not find a way to automatically create a blacklist ruleset using WAPI, anyone can help?

Hi, you can create the blacklist ruleset itself using CSV imports as well, in a similar manner as you have done for importing the rules.

This is a sample CSV file from the NIOS CSV Import Reference:

header-Ruleset,name*,type*,comment,disabled
ruleset,NXD,NXDOMAIN,This is an NXDOMAIN ruleset,FALSE

Also, if you wanted to, in the same CSV file you could first define the ruleset, then add rules to it, as per below:

header-Ruleset,name*,type*,comment,disabled
ruleset,BlackListName,NXDOMAIN,This is an NXDOMAIN ruleset,FALSE
header-blacklistrule,parent*,domain_name*,action*
blacklistrule,BlackListName,foobar.com,REDIRECT

One thing to keep in mind is, a ruleset needs to be defined first in the CSV file before any rules belonging to it (eg in a higher row).

I hope this helps.

I need this feature too in the WAPI. The CSV import feature is a manual process and not adequate.
