Amazon S3 plugin for Fluentd
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.
