Expressions

A policy is written with Common Expression Language (CEL) expressions to determine on which connections it is applicable. Each policy expression must evaluate to true in order for the policy's actions to take effect against a connection.

Variables

Attributes of the connection are exposed on the conn struct. The following variables are available using this struct:

NameTypeDescription
conn.ClientIPstringThe source IP of the HTTP connection to the ngrok endpoint.
conn.Geo.CountryCodestringThe two-letter ISO country code based on the client IP.
conn.Geo.LatitudestringThe approximate latitude based on the client IP.
conn.Geo.LatLongRadiusKmstringThe radius in kilometers around the latitude and longitude where the client IP is likely to originate.
conn.Geo.LongitudestringThe approximate longitude based on the client IP.

conn.ClientIP

The source IP of the HTTP connection to the ngrok endpoint as a string.

expressions:
- "conn.ClientIP in ['::1', '127.0.0.1']"

conn.Geo.CountryCode

The two-letter ISO country code based on the client IP.

expressions:
- "conn.Geo.CountryCode != 'US'"

conn.Geo.Latitude

The approximate latitude based on the client IP.

expressions:
- "double(conn.Geo.Latitude) >= 45.0"

conn.Geo.LatLongRadiusKm

The radius in kilometers around the latitude and longitude where the client IP is likely to originate.

expressions:
- "conn.Geo.LatLongRadiusKm <= '20'"

conn.Geo.Longitude

The approximate longitude based on the client IP.

Macros

CEL provides a set of predefined macros that can also be used in policy expressions. For convenience, the following custom macros are also supported:

NameReturn TypeDescription
hasReqHeader(string)boolReturns true or false if the provided header key is present on the request. Header keys must be written in canonical format.
getReqHeader(string)listReturns a list of header values for the provided key on the request. Header keys must be written in canonical format.
hasQueryParam(string)boolReturns true or false if the specified query parameter key is part of the request URL.
getQueryParam(string)listReturns a list of the query parameter values from the request URL for the specified key.
hasReqCookie(string)boolReturns true or false if a cookie exists on the request with the specified name.
getReqCookie(string)boolReturns the cookie struct for the specified cookie name, if it exists on the request.
hasResHeader(string)boolReturns true or false if the provided header key is present on the response. Header keys must be written in canonical format.
getResHeader(string)listReturns a list of header values for the provided key on the response. Header keys must be written in canonical format.
hasResCookie(string)boolReturns true or false if a cookie exists on the response with the specified name.
getResCookie(string)boolReturns the cookie struct for the specified cookie name, if it exists on the response.

hasReqHeader(string)

Returns true or false if the provided header key is present on the request.

expressions:
- "hasReqHeader('X-Version-Id')"

getReqHeader(string)

Returns a list of header values for the provided key on the request.

expressions:
