Description​

Network security group (NSG) flow logs record IP traffic that passes through an NSG to a storage account. Each flow log's Retention days setting is 0, which keeps records indefinitely, or a number of days after which records are deleted. Warning: NSG flow logs retire on September 30, 2027, and new NSG flow logs cannot be created after June 30, 2025; migrate to virtual network flow logs and apply the recommendation Ensure that Virtual Network Flow Log Retention Days is Set to Greater than or Equal to 90. Note: This recommendation applies only to NSG flow logs still in use; an NSG flow log left disabled by migration to virtual network flow logs is out of scope and should be deleted, not re-enabled.
