What is Flow Logs?

Flow Logs are a feature in cloud computing and networking that records information about network traffic flowing through a network. They capture metadata about network flows, such as source and destination IP addresses, ports, protocols, and the number of bytes and packets transferred. This data is used for network monitoring, security analysis, traffic engineering, and compliance. Flow logs are often used to identify unusual traffic patterns, troubleshoot network issues, and gain insights into network performance, providing valuable data for network management and security.
