Description

VPC Flow Logs provide visibility into network traffic that traverses the AWS VPC. Users can use the flow logs to detect anomalous traffic or insight during security workflows.

How to fix?

Reference the aws_vpc in an aws_flog_log vpc_id field.

Example Configuration

resource "aws_vpc" "valid_vpc" {
  # other required fields here
}

resource "aws_flow_log" "test_flow_log" {
  vpc_id         = "${aws_vpc.valid_vpc.id}"
  # other required fields here
}
