Hi All,

My current setup is as below,

Amazon S3 -\> Logstash -\> Elasticsearch -\> Kibana

In logstash, we are trying to poll files from 4 s3 buckets ie each for each environment. so we are expecting data load per day of 3 to 4GB Max all together of 4 buckets.

So my question is which is the best way of configuration,

1. Creating a logstash conf file where in input section i poll all 4 s3 buckets eg as below,

I will be creating index on month basics. How good the performance it will be in such case ?

1. Do i need to create 4 config files for each 1 bucket and also create a pipeline as like below. How the performance will be in both case. For this condition i will be using 4 indexes for each environment.

Please suggest which is best practices.
