Explanation for NODATA in VPC Flow Logs if there is no data
The VPC Flow Logs log status has "NODATA: There was no network traffic to or from the network interface during the aggregation interval. ". But my customer is asking:
-
Does that really mean there was no data, or just no data captured, for example too small, or between two interfaces it does not capture?
-
If there is really no data, then what is the purpose of sending this status which fills up the logs? Should it be treated as a heartbeat?

NODATA means no data has been received on that ENI. In case of data missed or skipped in the capture a SKIPPED DATA message is published.
The NODATA message allows you to know if an ENI is actively attached to an instance and receiving/not receiving traffic or is just available in a pool of ENI or was an old ENI whose flowlog data is still available but the ENI has been deleted.
