Virtual Private Cloud:DeleteTrafficMirrorFilter

Last Updated:Jun 19, 2026

Invokes the DeleteTrafficMirrorFilter operation to delete a traffic mirror filter.

Operation description

  • DeleteTrafficMirrorFilter is an asynchronous operation. After you send a request, the system returns a request ID, but the traffic mirror filter is not yet deleted. The deletion task runs in the background. You can call ListTrafficMirrorFilters to query the deletion status of the traffic mirror filter:
    • If the traffic mirror filter is in the Deleting state, the traffic mirror filter is being deleted.

    • If the specified traffic mirror filter cannot be found, the traffic mirror filter is deleted.

  • DeleteTrafficMirrorFilter does not support concurrent deletion of the same traffic mirror filter.

Test

RAM authorization

The table below describes the authorization required to call this API. You can define it in a Resource Access Management (RAM) policy. The table's columns are detailed below:

  • Action: The actions can be used in the Action element of RAM permission policy statements to grant permissions to perform the operation.

  • API: The API that you can call to perform the action.

  • Access level: The predefined level of access granted for each API. Valid values: create, list, get, update, and delete.

  • Resource type: The type of the resource that supports authorization to perform the action. It indicates if the action supports resource-level permission. The specified resource must be compatible with the action. Otherwise, the policy will be ineffective.

    • For APIs with resource-level permissions, required resource types are marked with an asterisk (*). Specify the corresponding Alibaba Cloud Resource Name (ARN) in the Resource element of the policy.

    • For APIs without resource-level permissions, it is shown as All Resources. Use an asterisk (*) in the Resource element of the policy.

  • Condition key: The condition keys defined by the service. The key allows for granular control, applying to either actions alone or actions associated with specific resources. In addition to service-specific condition keys, Alibaba Cloud provides a set of common condition keys applicable across all RAM-supported services.

  • Dependent action: The dependent actions required to run the action. To complete the action, the RAM user or the RAM role must have the permissions to perform all dependent actions.
