Create a flow log

Access Azure Cloud Shell to run CLI commands from your web browser using az.

1. Create a Flow Log to be read by Vectra Fusion.

az network watcher flow-log create \
    --location $REGION> \
    --name <name> \
    --vnet $VNET \
    --resource-group $RGRP \
    --storage-account <storage-account-name> \
    --enabled true \
    --retention 1 \
    --traffic-analytics false \

Name	Choose any name for your flow log
Resource group	Your Virtual Network Resource Group
VNet	Virtual Network Name
Location	Your Virtual Network Region
Storage Account	Storage account name you created in the previous step
Enabled	True
Retention	Days of storage retention. Only 1 day is needed by Vectra Fusion.
Traffic Analytics	False. Vectra Fusion does not use Traffic Analytics.

1. View your newly created Flow Log

You can scroll through your output using the left and right arrow keys, similar to using the horizontal scroll bar on a web browser.
