Create an account or zone dataset

POST/{accounts_or_zones}/{account_or_zone_id}/logs/explorer/datasets

Use the /account or zones/{account or zone_id}/logs/explorer/datasets/available endpoint to list dataset types you can create along with their available fields.

The fields property is optional. If not specified, all available fields will be enabled.

For zone-level datasets use the zone-scoped endpoint: POST /zones/{zone_id}/logs/explorer/datasets
