CreateFlowLog - - 阿里雲

Usage notes

CreateFlowLog is an asynchronous operation. After a request is sent, the system returns a request ID and runs the task in the background. You can call the DescribeFlowLogs operation to query the status of the operation.

If the flow log is in the Activating state, the flow log is being created.
If the flow log is in the Active state, the flow log is created and started.

Debugging

OpenAPI Explorer automatically calculates the signature value. For your convenience, we recommend that you call this operation in OpenAPI Explorer. OpenAPI Explorer dynamically generates the sample code of the operation for different SDKs.
