CfnFlowLog¶

class aws_cdk.aws_ec2.CfnFlowLog(scope, id, *, resource_id, resource_type, traffic_type, deliver_logs_permission_arn=None, destination_options=None, log_destination=None, log_destination_type=None, log_format=None, log_group_name=None, max_aggregation_interval=None, tags=None)¶

Bases: aws_cdk.core.CfnResource

A CloudFormation AWS::EC2::FlowLog.

Specifies a VPC flow log that captures IP traffic for a specified network interface, subnet, or VPC. To view the log data, use Amazon CloudWatch Logs (CloudWatch Logs) to help troubleshoot connection issues. For example, you can use a flow log to investigate why certain traffic isn’t reaching an instance, which can help you diagnose overly restrictive security group rules. For more information, see VPC Flow Logs in the Amazon VPC User Guide .

Create a new AWS::EC2::FlowLog.

Parameters

scope (Construct) –
- scope in which this resource is defined.
id (str) –
- scoped id of the resource.
resource_id (str) – The ID of the subnet, network interface, or VPC for which you want to create a flow log.
resource_type (str) – The type of resource for which to create the flow log. For example, if you specified a VPC ID for the ResourceId property, specify VPC for this property.
traffic_type (str) – The type of traffic to log. You can log traffic that the resource accepts or rejects, or all traffic.
deliver_logs_permission_arn (Optional[str]) – The ARN for the IAM role that permits Amazon EC2 to publish flow logs to a CloudWatch Logs log group in your account. If you specify LogDestinationType as s3 , do not specify DeliverLogsPermissionArn or LogGroupName .
destination_options (Optional[Any]) – The destination options. The following options are supported:. - FileFormat - The format for the flow log ( plain-text | parquet ). The default is plain-text . - HiveCompatiblePartitions - Indicates whether to use Hive-compatible prefixes for flow logs stored in Amazon S3 ( true | false ). The default is false . - PerHourPartition - Indicates whether to partition the flow log per hour ( true | false ). The default is false .
log_destination (Optional[str]) – The destination to which the flow log data is to be published. Flow log data can be published to a CloudWatch Logs log group or an Amazon S3 bucket. The value specified for this parameter depends on the value specified for LogDestinationType . If LogDestinationType is not specified or cloud-watch-logs , specify the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the CloudWatch Logs log group. For example, to publish to a log group called my-logs , specify arn:aws:logs:us-east-1:123456789012:log-group:my-logs . Alternatively, use LogGroupName instead. If LogDestinationType is s3 , specify the ARN of the Amazon S3 bucket. You can also specify a subfolder in the bucket. To specify a subfolder in the bucket, use the following ARN format: bucket_ARN/subfolder_name/ . For example, to specify a subfolder named my-logs in a bucket named my-bucket , use the following ARN: arn:aws:s3:::my-bucket/my-logs/ . You cannot use AWSLogs as a subfolder name. This is a reserved term.
log_destination_type (Optional[str]) – The type of destination to which the flow log data is to be published. Flow log data can be published to CloudWatch Logs or Amazon S3. To publish flow log data to CloudWatch Logs, specify cloud-watch-logs . To publish flow log data to Amazon S3, specify s3 . If you specify LogDestinationType as s3 , do not specify DeliverLogsPermissionArn or LogGroupName . Default: cloud-watch-logs
log_format (Optional[str]) – The fields to include in the flow log record, in the order in which they should appear. For a list of available fields, see Flow Log Records . If you omit this parameter, the flow log is created using the default format. If you specify this parameter, you must specify at least one field. Specify the fields using the ${field-id} format, separated by spaces.
log_group_name (Optional[str]) – The name of a new or existing CloudWatch Logs log group where Amazon EC2 publishes your flow logs. If you specify LogDestinationType as s3 , do not specify DeliverLogsPermissionArn or LogGroupName .
max_aggregation_interval (Union[int, float, None]) – The maximum interval of time during which a flow of packets is captured and aggregated into a flow log record. You can specify 60 seconds (1 minute) or 600 seconds (10 minutes). When a network interface is attached to a Nitro-based instance , the aggregation interval is always 60 seconds or less, regardless of the value that you specify. Default: 600
tags (Optional[Sequence[CfnTag]]) – The tags to apply to the flow logs.

Methods

add_deletion_override(path)¶

Syntactic sugar for addOverride(path, undefined).

Parameters: path (str) – The path of the value to delete.
Return type: None

add_depends_on(target)¶

Indicates that this resource depends on another resource and cannot be provisioned unless the other resource has been successfully provisioned.

This can be used for resources across stacks (or nested stack) boundaries and the dependency will automatically be transferred to the relevant scope.

Parameters

target (CfnResource) –

Return type

None

add_metadata(key, value)¶

Add a value to the CloudFormation Resource Metadata.

Parameters

key (str) –
value (Any) –

See

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/metadata-section-structure.html

Note that this is a different set of metadata from CDK node metadata; this metadata ends up in the stack template under the resource, whereas CDK node metadata ends up in the Cloud Assembly.

Return type: None

add_override(path, value)¶

Adds an override to the synthesized CloudFormation resource.

To add a property override, either use addPropertyOverride or prefix path with “Properties.” (i.e. Properties.TopicName).

If the override is nested, separate each nested level using a dot (.) in the path parameter. If there is an array as part of the nesting, specify the index in the path.

To include a literal . in the property name, prefix with a \. In most programming languages you will need to write this as "\\." because the \ itself will need to be escaped.

For example:

cfn_resource.add_override("Properties.GlobalSecondaryIndexes.0.Projection.NonKeyAttributes", ["myattribute"])
cfn_resource.add_override("Properties.GlobalSecondaryIndexes.1.ProjectionType", "INCLUDE")

would add the overrides Example:

"Properties": {
   "GlobalSecondaryIndexes": [
     {
       "Projection": {
         "NonKeyAttributes": [ "myattribute" ]
         ...
       }
       ...
     },
     {
       "ProjectionType": "INCLUDE"
       ...
     },
   ]
   ...
}

The value argument to addOverride will not be processed or translated in any way. Pass raw JSON values in here with the correct capitalization for CloudFormation. If you pass CDK classes or structs, they will be rendered with lowercased key names, and CloudFormation will reject the template.

Parameters

path (str) –
- The path of the property, you can use dot notation to override values in complex types. Any intermdediate keys will be created as needed.
value (Any) –
- The value. Could be primitive or complex.

Return type

None

add_property_deletion_override(property_path)¶

Adds an override that deletes the value of a property from the resource definition.

Parameters: property_path (str) – The path to the property.
Return type: None

add_property_override(property_path, value)¶

Adds an override to a resource property.

Syntactic sugar for addOverride("Properties.<...>", value).

Parameters

property_path (str) – The path of the property.
value (Any) – The value.

Return type

None

apply_removal_policy(policy=None, *, apply_to_update_replace_policy=None, default=None)¶

Sets the deletion policy of the resource based on the removal policy specified.

The Removal Policy controls what happens to this resource when it stops being managed by CloudFormation, either because you’ve removed it from the CDK application or because you’ve made a change that requires the resource to be replaced.

The resource can be deleted (RemovalPolicy.DESTROY), or left in your AWS account for data recovery and cleanup later (RemovalPolicy.RETAIN).

Parameters

policy (Optional[RemovalPolicy]) –
apply_to_update_replace_policy (Optional[bool]) – Apply the same deletion policy to the resource’s “UpdateReplacePolicy”. Default: true
default (Optional[RemovalPolicy]) – The default policy to apply in case the removal policy is not defined. Default: - Default value is resource specific. To determine the default value for a resoure, please consult that specific resource’s documentation.

Return type

None

get_att(attribute_name)¶

Returns a token for an runtime attribute of this resource.

Ideally, use generated attribute accessors (e.g. resource.arn), but this can be used for future compatibility in case there is no generated attribute.

Parameters: attribute_name (str) – The name of the attribute.
Return type: Reference

get_metadata(key)¶

Retrieve a value value from the CloudFormation Resource Metadata.

Parameters

key (str) –

See

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/metadata-section-structure.html

Note that this is a different set of metadata from CDK node metadata; this metadata ends up in the stack template under the resource, whereas CDK node metadata ends up in the Cloud Assembly.

Return type: Any
