The DDoS Managed Ruleset includes many individual rules. Each rule provides the heuristics that instructs the system how to identify attack traffic. When the DDoS Managed Ruleset identifies an attack, it will generate a real-time fingerprint to match against the attack traffic, and install an ephemeral mitigation rule to mitigate the attack.

The start time of the attack is when the mitigation rule is installed. The attack ends when there is no more traffic matching the rule. This is a single DDoS attack.

Currently, the concept of a DDoS attack only exists for the Network-layer DDoS Managed Ruleset. There is no such grouping of individual packets, queries, or HTTP requests for the other systems, although we plan to implement it.

## Can I exclude a specific user agent from the HTTP DDoS protection?
112

113

Yes, you can create an [override](/managed-rulesets/http/override-expressions/) and use the expression fields to match against HTTP requests with the user agent. There are a variety of [fields](/managed-rulesets/http/override-expressions/#available-expression-fields) that you can use.
114
+
You can then adjust the [sensitivity level](/managed-rulesets/http/override-parameters/#sensitivity-level) or [mitigation action](/http/override-parameters/#action).
115
+
116
+
Refer to the guide on how to [create an override](/managed-rulesets/http/configure-dashboard/#create-a-ddos-override).
117
+
118

The use of expression fields is subject to [availability](#availability).

## Does Cloudflare charge for DDoS attack traffic?
121

122

No. Sinece 2017, Cloudflare offers [free unmeterered and unlimited DDoS protection](https://blog.cloudflare.com/unmetered-mitigation/). There is no limit to the number of DDoS attacks, their duration, or their size. Cloudflare's billing systems automatically exclude DDoS attack traffic from your usage.

You can override a user agent using a low sensitivity level or `Log` if you want visibility.
