NoteIf the VPC/NSG flow logs from one account are configured to be stored in S3/storage accounts in another account, then the destination account should be onboarded into Illumio. If the account that owns the S3 bucket is not onboarded, Illumio will not be able to fetch the flow logs of that S3 bucket. For detailed instructions for setting up your flow logs, see this topic. |
