# Flowlog ## nic\_flowlog This is a simple module that supports creating or removing NIC Flowlogs. This module has a dependency on ionoscloud >= 6.0.2 ### Example Syntax ```yaml name: Create a nic flowlog ionoscloudsdk.ionoscloud.nic_flowlog: name: 'AnsibleAutoTestCompute' action: ACCEPTED direction: INGRESS bucket: sdktest datacenter: '' server: '' nic: '' register: flowlog_response name: Update a nic flowlog ionoscloudsdk.ionoscloud.nic_flowlog: name: 'AnsibleAutoTestCompute' action: ALL direction: INGRESS bucket: sdktest datacenter: '' server: '' nic: '' flowlog: '' state: update register: flowlog_update_response name: Delete a nic flowlog ionoscloudsdk.ionoscloud.nic_flowlog: datacenter: '' server: '' nic: '' flowlog: '' name: 'AnsibleAutoTestCompute' state: absent wait: true register: flowlog_delete_response ``` ### Returned object ```json { "changed": true, "failed": false, "action": "create", "flowlog": { "href": "https://api.ionos.com/cloudapi/v6/datacenters/47724f5f-625d-46e3-8187-0fce19c74e5c/servers/4e55f7f3-78f2-46c0-9c61-8de00d7cd484/nics/c386eede-b756-441e-97a7-5de4da8518ed/flowlogs/37a775b2-4dad-418a-8cbd-0499ad34d713", "id": "37a775b2-4dad-418a-8cbd-0499ad34d713", "metadata": { "created_by": "", "created_by_user_id": "", "created_date": "2023-06-06T14:06:00+00:00", "etag": "043560db87ade8f005d69efbec1eedea", "last_modified_by": "", "last_modified_by_user_id": "", "last_modified_date": "2023-06-06T14:06:00+00:00", "state": "BUSY" }, "properties": { "action": "ACCEPTED", "bucket": "sdktest", "direction": "INGRESS", "name": "AnsibleAutoTestCompute" }, "type": "flow-log" } } ``` #### For more examples please check out the tests [here](https://github.com/ionos-cloud/module-ansible/tree/master/tests/compute-engine). ## state: **present** ```yaml name: Create a nic flowlog ionoscloudsdk.ionoscloud.nic_flowlog: name: 'AnsibleAutoTestCompute' action: ACCEPTED direction: INGRESS bucket: sdktest datacenter: '' server: '' nic: '' register: flowlog_response ``` #### Available parameters for state **present**:
