# Amazon S3 plugin for [Fluentd](http://github.com/fluent/fluentd)
[](https://travis-ci.org/fluent/fluent-plugin-s3) [](https://codeclimate.com/github/fluent/fluent-plugin-s3)
## PR
**it will be greatful that the plugin can push log to owner S3 Storage like Ceph S3.**
## Overview
**s3** output plugin buffers event logs in local file and upload it to S3
periodically.
This plugin splits files exactly by using the time of event logs (not the time
when the logs are received). For example, a log '2011-01-02 message B' is
reached, and then another log '2011-01-03 message B' is reached in this order,
the former one is stored in "20110102.gz" file, and latter one in
"20110103.gz" file.
**s3** input plugin reads data from S3 periodically. This plugin uses
SQS queue on the region same as S3 bucket.
We must setup SQS queue and S3 event notification before use this plugin.
## Requirements
| fluent-plugin-s3 | fluentd | ruby |
|-------------------|---------|------|
| >= 1.0.0 | >= v0.14.0 | >= 2.1 |
| < 1.0.0 | >= v0.12.0 | >= 1.9 |
NOTE: fluent-plugin-s3 v1.0.0 is now RC. We will release stable v1.0.0 soon.
## Installation
Simply use RubyGems:
$ gem install fluent-plugin-s3 -v "~> 0.8" --no-document # for fluentd v0.12 or later
$ gem install fluent-plugin-s3 -v 1.0.0.rc2 --no-document # for fluentd v0.14 or later
## Output: Configuration
### v0.14 style
With fluentd v0.14 and fluent-plugin-s3 v1.0.0, use new buffer configuration to dynamic parameters.
@type s3
aws_key_id YOUR_AWS_KEY_ID
aws_sec_key YOUR_AWS_SECRET_KEY
s3_bucket YOUR_S3_BUCKET_NAME
s3_region ap-northeast-1
path logs/${tag}/%Y/%m/%d/
s3_object_key_format %{path}%{time_slice}_%{index}.%{file_extension}
# if you want to use ${tag} or %Y/%m/%d/ like syntax in path / s3_object_key_format,
# need to specify tag for ${tag} and time for %Y/%m/%d in argument.
@type file
path /var/log/fluent/s3
timekey 3600 # 1 hour partition
timekey_wait 10m
timekey_use_utc true # use utc
@type json
For ``, you can use any record field in `path` / `s3_object_key_format`.
path logs/${tag}/${foo}
# parameters...
See official article for more detail: [Buffer section configurations](http://docs.fluentd.org/v0.14/articles/buffer-section)
Note that this configuration doesn't work with fluentd v0.12.
### v0.12 style
This configuration works with both fluentd v0.12 and v0.14.
@type s3
aws_key_id YOUR_AWS_KEY_ID
aws_sec_key YOUR_AWS_SECRET_KEY
s3_bucket YOUR_S3_BUCKET_NAME
s3_region ap-northeast-1
path logs/
s3_object_key_format %{path}%{time_slice}_%{index}.%{file_extension}
buffer_path /var/log/fluent/s3
time_slice_format %Y%m%d-%H
time_slice_wait 10m
utc
format json
If you want to embed tag in `path` / `s3_object_key_format`, you need to use `fluent-plugin-forest` plugin.
**aws_key_id**
AWS access key id. This parameter is required when your agent is not
running on EC2 instance with an IAM Role. When using an IAM role, make
sure to configure `instance_profile_credentials`. Usage can be found below.
**aws_sec_key**
AWS secret key. This parameter is required when your agent is not running
on EC2 instance with an IAM Role.
**aws_iam_retries**
The number of attempts to make (with exponential backoff) when loading
instance profile credentials from the EC2 metadata service using an IAM
role. Defaults to 5 retries.
**s3_bucket (required)**
S3 bucket name.
**s3_region**
s3 region name. For example, US West (Oregon) Region is "us-west-2". The
full list of regions are available here. >
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#s3_region. We
recommend using `s3_region` instead of `s3_endpoint`.
**s3_endpoint**
endpoint for S3 compatible services. For example, Riak CS based storage or
something. This option doesn't work on S3, use `s3_region` instead.
**ssl_verify_peer**
Verify SSL certificate of the endpoint. Default is true. Set false when you want to ignore the endpoint SSL certificate.
**s3_object_key_format**
The format of S3 object keys. You can use several built-in variables:
* %{path}
* %{time_slice}
* %{index}
* %{file_extension}
* %{hex_random}
* %{uuid_flush}
* %{hostname}
to decide keys dynamically.
* %{path} is exactly the value of **path** configured in the configuration file.
E.g., "logs/" in the example configuration above.
* %{time_slice} is the
time-slice in text that are formatted with **time_slice_format**. %{index} is
the sequential number starts from 0, increments when multiple files are
uploaded to S3 in the same time slice.
* %{file_extention} is always "gz" for
now.
* %{uuid_flush} a uuid that is replaced everytime the buffer will be flushed. If you want to use this placeholder, install `uuidtools` gem first.
* %{hostname} is replaced with `Socket.gethostname` result.
* %{hex_random} a random hex string that is replaced for each buffer chunk, not
assured to be unique. This is used to follow a way of performance tuning, `Add
a Hex Hash Prefix to Key Name`, written in [Request Rate and Performance
Considerations - Amazon Simple Storage
Service](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/request-rate-perf-considerations.html).
You can configure the length of string with a
`hex_random_length` parameter (Default: 4).
The default format is `%{path}%{time_slice}_%{index}.%{file_extension}`.
For instance, using the example configuration above, actual object keys on S3
will be something like:
"logs/20130111-22_0.gz"
"logs/20130111-23_0.gz"
"logs/20130111-23_1.gz"
"logs/20130112-00_0.gz"
With the configuration:
s3_object_key_format %{path}/events/ts=%{time_slice}/events_%{index}.%{file_extension}
path log
time_slice_format %Y%m%d-%H
You get:
"log/events/ts=20130111-22/events_0.gz"
"log/events/ts=20130111-23/events_0.gz"
"log/events/ts=20130111-23/events_1.gz"
"log/events/ts=20130112-00/events_0.gz"
NOTE: ${hostname} placeholder is deprecated since v0.8. You can get same result by using [configuration's embedded ruby code feature](http://docs.fluentd.org/articles/config-file#embedded-ruby-code).
s3_object_key_format %{path}%{time_slice}_%{hostname}%{index}.%{file_extension}
s3_object_key_format "%{path}%{time_slice}_#{Socket.gethostname}%{index}.%{file_extension}"
Above two configurations are same. The important point is wrapping `""` is needed for `#{Socket.gethostname}`.
**force_path_style**
:force_path_style (Boolean) — default: false — When set to true, the
bucket name is always left in the request URI and never moved to the host
as a sub-domain. See Plugins::S3BucketDns for more details.
**store_as**
archive format on S3. You can use several format:
* gzip (default)
* json
* text
* lzo (Need lzop command)
* lzma2 (Need xz command)
* gzip_command (Need gzip command)
* This compressor uses an external gzip command, hence would result in
utilizing CPU cores well compared with `gzip`
See `Use your compression algorithm` section for adding another format.
**`` or format**
Change one line format in the S3 object. Supported formats are "out_file",
"json", "ltsv" and "single_value". See also [official Formatter article](http://docs.fluentd.org/articles/formatter-plugin-overview).
* out_file (default).
time\ttag\t{..json1..}
time\ttag\t{..json2..}
...
* json
{..json1..}
{..json2..}
...
At this format, "time" and "tag" are omitted. But you can set these
information to the record by setting "include_tag_key" / "tag_key" and
"include_time_key" / "time_key" option. If you set following configuration in
S3 output:
format json
include_time_key true
time_key log_time # default is time
then the record has log_time field.
{"log_time":"time string",...}
* ltsv
key1:value1\tkey2:value2
key1:value1\tkey2:value2
...
"ltsv" format also accepts "include_xxx" related options. See "json" section.
* single_value
Use specified value instead of entire recode. If you get '{"message":"my
log"}', then contents are
my log1
my log2
...
You can change key name by "message_key" option.
**auto_create_bucket**
Create S3 bucket if it does not exists. Default is true.
**check_bucket**
Check mentioned bucket if it exists in AWS or not. Default is true.
When it is false,
fluentd will not check aws s3 for the existence of the mentioned bucket. This is the
case where bucket will be pre-created before running fluentd.
**check_object**
Check object before creation if it exists or not. Default is true.
When it is false,
s3_object_key_format will be %{path}%{date_slice}_%{time_slice}.%{file_extension}
where, time_slice will be in hhmmss format, so that each object will be unique.
Example object name, assuming it is created on 2016/16/11 3:30:54 PM
20161611_153054.txt (extension can be anything as per user's choice)
**Example when check_bucket=false and check_object=false**
When the mentioned configuration will be made, fluentd will work with the
minimum IAM poilcy, like:
"Statement": [{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": "s3:PutObject",
"Resource": ["*"]
}]
**check_apikey_on_start**
Check AWS key on start. Default is true.
**proxy_uri**
uri of proxy environment.
**path**
path prefix of the files on S3. Default is "" (no prefix).
**buffer_path (required)**
path prefix of the files to buffer logs.
**time_slice_format**
Format of the time used as the file name. Default is '%Y%m%d'. Use
'%Y%m%d%H' to split files hourly.
**time_slice_wait**
The time to wait old logs. Default is 10 minutes. Specify larger value if
old logs may reach.
**utc**
Use UTC instead of local time.
**storage_class**
Set storage class. Possible values are `STANDARD`, `REDUCED_REDUNDANCY`, `STANDARD_IA` from [Ruby SDK](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdkforruby/api/Aws/S3/Object.html#storage_class-instance_method).
**reduced_redundancy**
Use S3 reduced redundancy storage for 33% cheaper pricing. Default is
false.
This is deprecated. Use `storage_class REDUCED_REDUNDANCY` instead.
**acl**
Permission for the object in S3. This is useful for cross-account access
using IAM roles. Valid values are:
* private (default)
* public-read
* public-read-write (not recommended - see [Canned
ACL](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/acl-overview.html#canned-acl))
* authenticated-read
* bucket-owner-read
* bucket-owner-full-control
To use cross-account access, you will need to create a bucket policy granting
the specific access required. Refer to the [AWS
documentation](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/example-walkthroughs-managing-access-example3.html) for examples.
**hex_random_length**
The length of `%{hex_random}` placeholder. Default is 4 as written in
[Request Rate and Performance Considerations - Amazon Simple Storage
Service](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/request-rate-perf-considerations.html).
The maximum length is 16.
**overwrite**
Overwrite already existing path. Default is false, which raises an error
if a s3 object of the same path already exists, or increment the
`%{index}` placeholder until finding an absent path.
**use_server_side_encryption**
The Server-side encryption algorithm used when storing this object in S3
(e.g., AES256, aws:kms)
**ssekms_key_id**
Specifies the AWS KMS key ID to use for object encryption. You have to
set "aws:kms" to `use_server_side_encryption` to use the KMS encryption.
**sse_customer_algorithm**
Specifies the algorithm to use to when encrypting the object (e.g., AES256).
**sse_customer_key**
Specifies the AWS KMS key ID to use for object encryption.
**sse_customer_key_md5**
Specifies the 128-bit MD5 digest of the encryption key according to RFC 1321.
**compute_checksums**
AWS SDK uses MD5 for API request/response by default. On FIPS enabled environment,
OpenSSL returns an error because MD5 is disabled. If you want to use
this plugin on FIPS enabled environment, set `compute_checksums false`.
**signature_version**
Signature version for API request. `s3` means signature version 2 and
`v4` means signature version 4. Default is `nil` (Following SDK's default).
It would be useful when you use S3 compatible storage that accepts only signature version 2.
**warn_for_delay**
Given a threshold to treat events as delay, output warning logs if delayed events were put into s3.
### assume_role_credentials
Typically, you use AssumeRole for cross-account access or federation.
@type s3
role_arn ROLE_ARN
role_session_name ROLE_SESSION_NAME

Defaults to 'default' or `[ENV]('AWS_PROFILE')`.
## Input: Setup
1. Create new [SQS](https://aws.amazon.com/documentation/sqs/) queue (use same region as S3)
2. Set proper permission to new queue
3. [Configure S3 event notification](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/NotificationHowTo.html)
4. Write configuration file such as fluent.conf
5. Run fluentd
## Input: Configuration
**aws_key_id**
AWS access key id. This parameter is required when your agent is not running on EC2 instance with an IAM Role.
**aws_sec_key**
AWS secret key. This parameter is required when your agent is not running on EC2 instance with an IAM Role.
**aws_iam_retries**
The number of attempts to make (with exponential backoff) when loading instance profile credentials from the EC2 metadata
service using an IAM role. Defaults to 5 retries.
**s3_bucket (required)**
S3 bucket name.
**s3_region**
S3 region name. For example, US West (Oregon) Region is
"us-west-2". The full list of regions are available here. >
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/rande.html#s3_region. We
recommend using `s3_region` instead of `s3_endpoint`.
**store_as**
archive format on S3. You can use serveral format:
* gzip (default)
* json
* text
* lzo (Need lzop command)
* lzma2 (Need xz command)
* gzip_command (Need gzip command)
* This compressor uses an external gzip command, hence would result in utilizing CPU cores well compared with `gzip`
See 'Use your compression algorithm' section for adding another format.
**format**
Parse a line as this format in the S3 object. Supported formats are
"apache_error", "apache2", "syslog", "json", "tsv", "ltsv", "csv",
"nginx" and "none".
**check_apikey_on_start**
Check AWS key on start. Default is true.
**proxy_uri**
URI of proxy environment.
**sqs/queue_name (required)**
SQS queue name. Need to create SQS queue on the region same as S3 bucket.
**sqs/skip_delete**
When true, messages are not deleted after polling block. Default is false.
**sqs/wait_time_seconds**
The long polling interval. Default is 20.
## IAM Policy
The following is an example for a minimal IAM policy needed to write to an s3
bucket (matches my-s3bucket/logs, my-s3bucket-test, etc.).
{ "Statement": [
{ "Effect":"Allow",
"Action":"s3:*",
"Resource":"arn:aws:s3:::my-s3bucket*"
} ]
}
Note that the bucket must already exist and **auto_create_bucket** has no
effect in this case.
Refer to the [AWS
documentation](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/ExampleIAMPolicies.html) for example policies.
Using [IAM
roles](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/WorkingWithRoles.html)
with a properly configured IAM policy are preferred over embedding access keys
on EC2 instances.
## Use your (de)compression algorithm
s3 plugin has plugabble compression mechanizm like Fleuntd's input / output
plugin. If you set 'store_as xxx', `out_s3` plugin searches
`fluent/plugin/s3_compressor_xxx.rb` and `in_s3` plugin searches
`fluent/plugin/s3_extractor_xxx.rb`. You can define your (de)compression with
'S3Output::Compressor'/`S3Input::Extractor` classes. Compressor API is here:
module Fluent # Since fluent-plugin-s3 v1.0.0 or later, use Fluent::Plugin instead of Fluent
class S3Output
class XXXCompressor < Compressor
S3Output.register_compressor('xxx', self)
# Used to file extension
def ext
'xxx'
end
# Used to file content type
def content_type
'application/x-xxx'
end
# chunk is buffer chunk. tmp is destination file for upload
def compress(chunk, tmp)
# call command or something
end
end
end
end
`Extractor` is similar to `Compressor`
See bundled `Compressor`/`Extractor` classes for more detail.
