Update traffic filters
Update the configuration for traffic filters in your subscription account, such as the filter type. Here is the overall flow for deleting traffic filters in StackOps Elastic:
- Submit an update request—Users must use Console to create a traffic filter update request.
- Review and approve—The assigned approver reviews and approves the request on Console. Once approved, the traffic filter will be updated.
Before you begin
You can only update traffic filters that meet the following requirements:
- Approved (active)
