NetworkFirewall / Client / list_flow_operations

list_flow_operations#

NetworkFirewall.Client.list_flow_operations(**kwargs)#

Returns a list of all flow operations ran in a specific firewall. You can optionally narrow the request scope by specifying the operation type or Availability Zone associated with a firewall’s flow operations.

Flow operations let you manage the flows tracked in the flow table, also known as the firewall table.

A flow is network traffic that is monitored by a firewall, either by stateful or stateless rules. For traffic to be considered part of a flow, it must share Destination, DestinationPort, Direction, Protocol, Source, and SourcePort.

Request Syntax

response = client.list_flow_operations(
    FirewallArn='string',
    AvailabilityZone='string',
    FlowOperationType='FLOW_FLUSH'|'FLOW_CAPTURE',
    NextToken='string',
    MaxResults=123
)
Parameters:

  • FirewallArn (string) –

    [REQUIRED]

    The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the firewall.

  • AvailabilityZone (string) –

    The ID of the Availability Zone where the firewall is located. For example, us-east-2a.

    Defines the scope a flow operation. You can use up to 20 filters to configure a single flow operation.

  • FlowOperationType (string) – An optional string that defines whether any or all operation types are returned.

  • NextToken (string) – When you request a list of objects with a MaxResults setting, if the number of objects that are still available for retrieval exceeds the maximum you requested, Network Firewall returns a NextToken value in the response. To retrieve the next batch of objects, use the token returned from the prior request in your next request.

  • MaxResults (integer) – The maximum number of objects that you want Network Firewall to return for this request. If more objects are available, in the response, Network Firewall provides a NextToken value that you can use in a subsequent call to get the next batch of objects.

Return type:

dict

Response Structure

  • (dict) –

    • FlowOperations (list) –

      Flow operations let you manage the flows tracked in the flow table, also known as the firewall table.

      A flow is network traffic that is monitored by a firewall, either by stateful or stateless rules. For traffic to be considered part of a flow, it must share Destination, DestinationPort, Direction, Protocol, Source, and SourcePort.

      • (dict) –

        An array of objects with metadata about the requested FlowOperation.

        • FlowOperationId (string) –

          A unique identifier for the flow operation. This ID is returned in the responses to start and list commands. You provide to describe commands.

        • FlowOperationType (string) –

          Defines the type of FlowOperation.

        • FlowRequestTimestamp (datetime) –

          A timestamp indicating when the Suricata engine identified flows impacted by an operation.

        • FlowOperationStatus (string) –

          Returns the status of the flow operation. This string is returned in the responses to start, list, and describe commands.

          If the status is COMPLETED_WITH_ERRORS, results may be returned with any number of Flows missing from the response. If the status is FAILED, Flows returned will be empty.

    • NextToken (string) –

      When you request a list of objects with a MaxResults setting, if the number of objects that are still available for retrieval exceeds the maximum you requested, Network Firewall returns a NextToken value in the response. To retrieve the next batch of objects, use the token returned from the prior request in your next request.
