AWS-Add-On to Ingest data from S3 Bucket

[SplunkDash]

Hello,

We have a client, need to use AWS-Add-On to collect/ingest data from their S3 Buckets. How would we proceed with AWS-Add-On installation/configuration process on our On-Prem server? Any recommendations will be highly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi,

You can use the Splunk Add-on for Amazon Web Services (AWS), available in splunkbase (https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1876), for data collection from Amazon S3.

Below are some useful links that will help you install and configure the add-on:

• Installation overview 
  https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/AddOns/released/AWS/Distributeddeployment
• Installation in a single-instance Splunk Enterprise (which I suppose is the case of your on-prem server)
  https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/AddOns/released/AWS/Singleinstance
• Configure S3 inputs
  https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/AddOns/released/AWS/S3
• Configure SQS-based S3 inputs
  https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/AddOns/released/AWS/SQS-basedS3

If you have any other question related to the installation and configuration process feel free to ask.
