VPC flow logs capture information about the IP traffic going to and from network interfaces within your VPC.

In this report, you can specify the date range of the VPC flow log data that you want to view and order the results by count, packets, or bytes.

This report also categorizes the data by traffic type, action, and blacklist types.
