After adding rules and rule groups as suggested in this article, complete your web ACL setup.
You have to do these steps:

Set Rule Priority

On the Set rule priority page, arrange the processing order for your rules and rule groups.
AWS WAF processes rules from top to bottom. Adjust the order by selecting a rule and choosing Move up or Move down.

Configure Metrics

On the Configure metrics page, view and manage metrics for Amazon CloudWatch.
You can also review web request sampling options for detailed insights.
Web traffic summaries are accessible under the Traffic overview tab in the web ACL’s console dashboard, providing near real-time metrics.

Review and Create

On the Review and Create web ACL page, verify all settings. Then, click Create Web ACL to finalize the configuration.

After creation, the wizard redirects to the Web ACL page, where your newly configured Web ACL is listed. Properly finalizing your web ACL ensures optimal rule performance, accurate metrics, and streamlined traffic monitoring in AWS WAF.
