• datacenterId (required) — The unique ID of the datacenter where the resource exists.
• serverId (required) — The unique ID of the server. Required when flowLogParent is NIC.
• nicId (required) — The unique ID of the NIC. Required when flowLogParent is NIC.

Output shape

The IONOS API response containing the created flow log's details, returned via n8n's main output after POSTing to the appropriate endpoint (servers/{serverId}/nics/{nicId}/flowlogs or natgateways/{natGatewayId}/flowlogs).

The operation constructs the API endpoint based on flowLogParent (NIC or NAT gateway), then sends a POST with {properties: {name, action, direction, bucket}}. All required parameters (flowLogParent, datacenterId, serverId or natGatewayId, nicId or natGatewayId, flowLogName, action, direction, bucket) must be provided; additionalFields are optional.
