Configure the Bot Allowlist Policy

Important: Bot Defense Advanced Self-Service Policy Management is a beta feature.

The Bot Allowlist Policy allows you to configure a list of IP addresses and HTTP headers from which requests are always allowed to reach the origin server without being evaluated by Bot Defense. For example, you might choose to add Vulnerability scanners, QA tools or health monitors to your Bot Allowlist Policy.

Work with the F5 Operations team to populate your allow list and deploy the Bot Allowlist Policy.

To view your Bot Allowlist Policies, click Manage > Bot Policies > Bot Allowlist Policy.

Next Steps

Work with your F5 Operations team to deploy your policy update in your test environment. Then test your new policy settings to make sure the system behaves as you intended.

After you deploy your Bot Allowlist Policy, you can view information about your policy, including details about current and past versions. For information, see Manage Bot Policies.
