Disables a flow log. After a flow log is disabled, traffic of the specified resource is no longer captured.

Operation description

  • The DeactiveFlowLog operation is asynchronous. After you send a request, a request ID is returned, but the flow log is still being disabled in the background. You can call the DescribeFlowLogs operation to query the status of the flow log:

    • If the flow log is in the Deactivating state, the flow log is being disabled.

    • If the flow log is in the Inactive state, the flow log is disabled.

  • You cannot call the DeactiveFlowLog operation to disable a flow log again within a specific period of time.
