Ensure Adequate Bucket Permissions

The following permissions applied to the AWS IAM Policy being used:

  • s3:ListBucket to check if the S3 bucket exists and list objects in it.
  • s3:GetObject to check object metadata and download objects from S3 buckets.

Below is how your permissions should appear:

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Sid": "SidID",
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": ["s3:GetObject", "s3:ListBucket"],
      "Resource": ["arn:aws:s3:::your-bucket/*"]
    }
  ]
}

Configure Logstash for Amazon ELB Classic

To start sending logs and metrics from AWS to your Stack you need to configure an AWS Input on your Logit.io Stack.

Go to Dashboard
