Cloudflare WAF snapshot ingest into Axiom for drift forensics
On a schedule, captures a full Cloudflare WAF ruleset snapshot, computes the field-level diff from the previous snapshot.
How it runs
The automated pipeline, trigger to output.
- TriggerSchedule: hourly snapshot
- ActionRetrieve WAF rulesets and overridesCloudflare
- ActionCompute field-level diff vs prior snapshotShell
- LogicSplit changes into per-rule events
- OutputIngest events and raw snapshot to AxiomAxiom
What it does
This workflow builds a queryable forensic timeline of every WAF rule change. Each run snapshots the current rulesets, diffs them against the last snapshot, and emits structured events into Axiom: one event per added, removed, or modified rule, plus the raw snapshot for point-in-time reconstruction.
When to use it
Use it when you need to answer auditor questions like "what did our WAF look like on March 3rd" or "who changed this rule and when" months later. It complements alerting by giving you long-term, searchable retention instead of ephemeral notifications.
How it works
- 1A scheduled trigger fires (e.g. hourly).
- 2A Cloudflare action retrieves all WAF custom and managed-rule overrides for the zone.
- 3A shell step computes a field-level diff versus the previous stored snapshot.
- 4A logic step splits each rule change into its own structured event.
- 5An Axiom output ingests both the per-rule diff events and the full raw snapshot into the drift dataset.
Set it up
What you configure once, before turning it on.
- 1Connect CloudflareWorkers, Pages, R2, KV — the edge stack.
- 2Connect ShellRun sandboxed commands inside the workspace.
- 3Connect AxiomLog streams, queries, dashboards.
- 4Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
- 5Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
- 6Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.

Every week an agent rolls up Cloudflare WAF block clusters by rule and ASN, compares them to prior weeks for trend direction.
Sensitive Dropbox Link Owner Remediation Loop
When a newly created Dropbox shared link points to a sensitive file, this workflow DMs the file owner, gives them a deadline to justify or revoke it.

Page on-call when a WAF rule mass-blocks legitimate traffic
On demand or every few minutes, it detects a single Cloudflare WAF rule suddenly blocking a broad spread of ASNs and paths (a likely false-positive storm).
PII Content Scan on New Dropbox External Share
When a file gets an external Dropbox link, it reads the file content, uses an AI classifier to detect PII or secrets.
