We want to move files from Amazon s3 to Splunk server (ex: /opt/splunk/logs ) continuously and display those details in Splunk dynamically.

How can we move files from Amazon s3 bucket to Splunk? any suggestion on we can handle this?

I would suggest taking a look at the Splunk Add-on for AWS, which supports collecting data from S3: https://splunkbase.splunk.com/app/1876/

Alternatively you could look at creating a scripted input that uses the aws cli library to pull data from s3, store it in /opt/splunk/logs and then process it from there.
