Can I use m.getvar("RULE.id") to get the current rule id in the 3.x version? It is normal for me to use m.getvar("REMOTE_ADDR"). How do I get the rule in the 3.x version? id, thanks

I want to get the id that triggers the rule in the lua script. It is normal in version 2.9, but it cannot be obtained after upgrading to 3.x.

Hi @hygeiavvv is this a Lua script? How you are running it?

Hello @hygeiavvv ,

I haven't done any detailed investigation w.r.t. to RULE.* references within a lua script, however ...

If you are finding that that doesn't work the way you expect it to, then what would work is to first assign the information that you want to a transaction variable:

"... setvar:tx.ruleid1=%{RULE.id},exec:/luapath/test.lua"

... and then retrieve that transaction variable within your lua script.

I hope that helps as a workaround, at least.
