Note:
  • When you create a flow meter resource in ZStack Cloud, you can specify the expiration interval of the flow by adding the FLOW_EXPIRE_INTERVAL option to SystemTags. The SystemTag is passed by using the expireInterval parameter.
    • Format of the FLOW_EXPIRE_INTERVAL option: expireInterval::xx. Here, the unit of xx is second.
    • Example: expireInterval::1200
  • When you create a flow meter resource in ZStack Cloud, you can specify the timeout configuration of the flow by adding the FLOW_ACTIVE_TIMEOUT option to SystemTags. The SystemTag is passed by using the activeTimeout parameter.
    • Format of the FLOW_ACTIVE_TIMEOUT option: activeTimeout::xx. Here, the unit of xx is second.
    • Example: activeTimeout::3600
