--- layout: default title: s3 source parent: Sources grand_parent: Pipelines nav_order: 20 --- # s3 source `s3` is a source plugin that reads events from [Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3)](https://aws.amazon.com/s3/) objects. It requires an [Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS)](https://aws.amazon.com/sqs/) queue that receives [S3 Event Notifications](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/NotificationHowTo.html). After Amazon SQS is configured, the `s3` source receives messages from Amazon SQS. When the SQS message indicates that an S3 object was created, the `s3` source loads the S3 objects and then parses them using the configured [codec](#codec). You can also configure the `s3` source to use [Amazon S3 Select](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/selecting-content-from-objects.html) instead of Data Prepper to parse S3 objects. ## IAM permissions In order to use the `s3` source, configure your AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) permissions to grant Data Prepper access to Amazon S3. You can use a configuration similar to the following JSON configuration: ```json { "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Sid": "s3-access", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "s3:GetObject", "s3:ListBucket", "s3:DeleteObject" ], "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::/*" }, { "Sid": "sqs-access", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "sqs:DeleteMessage", "sqs:ReceiveMessage" ], "Resource": "arn:aws:sqs::<123456789012>:" }, { "Sid": "kms-access", "Effect": "Allow", "Action": "kms:Decrypt", "Resource": "arn:aws:kms::<123456789012>:key/" } ] } ``` If your S3 objects or Amazon SQS queues do not use [AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS)](https://aws.amazon.com/kms/), remove the `kms:Decrypt` permission. ## Cross-account S3 access When Data Prepper fetches data from an S3 bucket, it verifies the ownership of the bucket using the [bucket owner condition](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/userguide/bucket-owner-condition.html). By default, Data Prepper expects an S3 bucket to be owned by the same that owns the correlating SQS queue. When no SQS is provided, Data Prepper uses the Amazon Resource Name (ARN) role in the `aws` configuration. If you plan to ingest data from multiple S3 buckets but each bucket is associated with a different S3 account, you need to configure Data Prepper to check for cross-account S3 access, according to the following conditions: - If all S3 buckets you want data from belong to an account other than that of the SQS queue, set `default_bucket_owner` to the account ID of the bucket account holder. - If your S3 buckets are in multiple accounts, use a `bucket_owners` map. In the following example, the SQS queue is owned by account `000000000000`. The SQS queue contains data from two S3 buckets: `my-bucket-01` and `my-bucket-02`. Because `my-bucket-01` is owned by `123456789012` and `my-bucket-02` is owned by `999999999999`, the `bucket_owners` map calls both bucket owners with their account IDs, as shown in the following configuration: ``` s3: sqs: queue_url: "https://sqs.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/000000000000/MyQueue" bucket_owners: my-bucket-01: 123456789012 my-bucket-02: 999999999999 ``` You can use both `bucket_owners` and `default_bucket_owner` together. ## Configuration You can use the following options to configure the `s3` source. Option | Required | Type | Description :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- `notification_type` | Yes | String | Must be `sqs`. `notification_source` | No | String | Determines how notifications are received by SQS. Must be `s3` or `eventbridge`. `s3` represents notifications that are directly sent from Amazon S3 to Amazon SQS or fanout notifications from Amazon S3 to Amazon Simple Notification Service (Amazon SNS) to Amazon SQS. `eventbridge` represents notifications from [Amazon EventBridge](https://aws.amazon.com/eventbridge/) and [Amazon Security Lake](https://aws.amazon.com/security-lake/). Default is `s3`. `compression` | No | String | The compression algorithm to apply: `none`, `gzip`, or `automatic`.

See [aws](#aws) for more information. `on_error` | No | String | Determines how to handle errors in Amazon SQS. Can be either `retain_messages` or `delete_messages`. `retain_messages` leaves the message in the Amazon SQS queue and tries to send the message again. This is recommended for dead-letter queues. `delete_messages` deletes failed messages. Default is `retain_messages`. buffer_timeout | No | Duration | The amount of time allowed for writing events to the Data Prepper buffer before timeout occurs. Any events that the Amazon S3 source cannot write to the buffer during the set amount of time are discarded. Default is `10s`. `records_to_accumulate` | No | Integer | The number of messages that accumulate before being written to the buffer. Default is `100`. `metadata_root_key` | No | String | The base key for adding S3 metadata to each event. The metadata includes the key and bucket for each S3 object. Default is `s3/`. `disable_bucket_ownership_validation` | No | Boolean | When `true`, the S3 source does not attempt to validate that the bucket is owned by the expected account. The expected account is the same account that owns the Amazon SQS queue. Default is `false`. `acknowledgments` | No | Boolean | When `true`, enables `s3` sources to receive [end-to-end acknowledgments]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/data-prepper/pipelines/pipelines#end-to-end-acknowledgments) when events are received by OpenSearch sinks. `s3_select` | No | [s3_select](#s3_select) | The Amazon S3 Select configuration. `scan` | No | [scan](#scan) | The S3 scan configuration. `delete_s3_objects_on_read` | No | Boolean | When `true`, the S3 scan attempts to delete S3 objects after all events from the S3 object are successfully acknowledged by all sinks. `acknowledgments` should be enabled when deleting S3 objects. Default is `false`. ## sqs The following parameters allow you to configure usage for Amazon SQS in the `s3` source plugin. Option | Required | Type | Description :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- `queue_url` | Yes | String | The URL of the Amazon SQS queue from which messages are received. `maximum_messages` | No | Integer | The maximum number of messages to receive from the Amazon SQS queue in any single request. Default is `10`. `visibility_timeout` | No | Duration | The visibility timeout to apply to messages read from the Amazon SQS queue. This should be set to the amount of time that Data Prepper may take to read all the S3 objects in a batch. Default is `30s`. `wait_time` | No | Duration | The amount of time to wait for long polling on the Amazon SQS API. Default is `20s`. `poll_delay` | No | Duration | A delay placed between the reading and processing of a batch of Amazon SQS messages and making a subsequent request. Default is `0s`. ## aws Option | Required | Type | Description :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- `region` | No | String | The AWS Region to use for credentials. Defaults to [standard SDK behavior to determine the Region](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-java/latest/developer-guide/region-selection.html). `sts_role_arn` | No | String | The AWS Security Token Service (AWS STS) role to assume for requests to Amazon SQS and Amazon S3. Defaults to `null`, which will use the [standard SDK behavior for credentials](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-java/latest/developer-guide/credentials.html). `aws_sts_header_overrides` | No | Map | A map of header overrides that the IAM role assumes for the sink plugin. ## codec The `codec` determines how the `s3` source parses each S3 object. ### newline codec The `newline` codec parses each single line as a single log event. This is ideal for most application logs because each event parses per single line. It can also be suitable for S3 objects that have individual JSON objects on each line, which matches well when used with the [parse_json]({{site.url}}{{site.baseurl}}/data-prepper/pipelines/configuration/processors/parse-json/) processor to parse each line. Use the following options to configure the `newline` codec. Option | Required | Type | Description :--- | :--- |:--------| :--- `skip_lines` | No | Integer | The number of lines to skip before creating events. You can use this configuration to skip common header rows. Default is `0`. `header_destination` | No | String | A key value to assign to the header line of the S3 object. If this option is specified, then each event will contain a `header_destination` field. ### json codec The `json` codec parses each S3 object as a single JSON object from a JSON array and then creates a Data Prepper log event for each object in the array. ### csv codec The `csv` codec parses objects in comma-separated value (CSV) format, with each row producing a Data Prepper log event. Use the following options to configure the `csv` codec. Option | Required | Type | Description :--- |:---------|:------------| :--- `delimiter` | Yes | Integer | The delimiter separating columns. Default is `,`. `quote_character` | Yes | String | The character used as a text qualifier for CSV data. Default is `"`. `header` | No | String list | The header containing the column names used to parse CSV data. `detect_header` | No | Boolean | Whether the first line of the S3 object should be interpreted as a header.

Default value is `SQL`. Maps directly to the [ExpressionType](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/API/API_SelectObjectContent.html#AmazonS3-SelectObjectContent-request-ExpressionType). `input_serialization` | Yes, when using `s3_select` | String | Provides the S3 Select file format. Amazon S3 uses this format to parse object data into records and returns only records that match the specified SQL expression.

These are also counted toward `s3ObjectsFailed`. * `s3ObjectsAccessDenied`: The number of S3 objects that the `s3` source failed to read due to an "Access Denied" or "Forbidden" error. These are also counted toward `s3ObjectsFailed`. * `s3ObjectsSucceeded`: The number of S3 objects that the `s3` source successfully read. * `sqsMessagesReceived`: The number of Amazon SQS messages received from the queue by the `s3` source. * `sqsMessagesDeleted`: The number of Amazon SQS messages deleted from the queue by the `s3` source. * `sqsMessagesFailed`: The number of Amazon SQS messages that the `s3` source failed to parse. * `s3ObjectNoRecordsFound` -- The number of S3 objects that resulted in 0 records added to the buffer by the `s3` source. * `sqsMessagesDeleteFailed` -- The number of SQS messages that the `s3` source failed to delete from the SQS queue. * `s3ObjectsDeleted` -- The number of S3 objects deleted by the `s3` source. * `s3ObjectsDeleteFailed` -- The number of S3 objects that the `s3` source failed to delete. ### Timers * `s3ObjectReadTimeElapsed`: Measures the amount of time the `s3` source takes to perform a request to GET an S3 object, parse it, and write events to the buffer. * `sqsMessageDelay`: Measures the time elapsed from when S3 creates an object to when it is fully parsed. ### Distribution summaries * `s3ObjectSizeBytes`: Measures the size of S3 objects as reported by the S3 `Content-Length`. For compressed objects, this is the compressed size. * `s3ObjectProcessedBytes`: Measures the bytes processed by the `s3` source for a given object. For compressed objects, this is the uncompressed size. * `s3ObjectsEvents`: Measures the number of events (sometimes called records) produced by an S3 object. ## Example: Uncompressed logs with sqs The following pipeline.yaml file shows the minimum configuration for reading uncompressed newline-delimited logs: ``` source: s3: notification_type: sqs codec: newline: compression: none sqs: queue_url: "https://sqs.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/123456789012/MyQueue" aws: region: "us-east-1" sts_role_arn: "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/Data-Prepper" ``` ## Example: Uncompressed logs with scan The following pipeline.yaml file shows the minimum configuration for scanning objects with uncompressed newline-delimited logs: ``` source: s3: codec: newline: compression: none aws: region: "us-east-1" sts_role_arn: "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/Data-Prepper" scan: start_time: 2023-01-01T00:00:00 range: "P365D" buckets: - bucket: name: "s3-scan-test" filter: exclude_suffix: - "*.log" ```
