IONOS Cloud (Infrastructure)Install

Summary

Create Flow Log operation creates a flow log for a NAT Gateway in a specific datacenter, logging traffic to an IONOS Object Storage bucket. It requires the datacenter ID, NAT Gateway ID, and flow log configuration (name, direction, action, bucket). Optional toggles allow returning request tracking, response headers, and advanced request settings.
