Note: It is advisable to first activate the Scheduler Traffic flow and then enable the Event Traffic flow 24 hours later. This sequence allows the Scheduler Traffic to perform a full sync, the duration of which varies based on the dataset size.

Furthermore, any modifications to the IPAM IP space or subnet following the activation of traffic flow in this integration could take up to seven days to be reflected.
