Greetings,

```
because the original name is pretty strange which may be like ls.s3.26facecb-62c1-4d29-8608-0fb8fd327c15.2016-02-26T07.15.part0.txt

```

I want to the files displayed on S3 with a regular name,

i.e ${YY}-{MM}-{DD}.txt. Yet, it looks there is no configuration for it.

Do we have any work around to resolve this issue or Must I rewrite the source code of this plugin ?

P.S

` input {

tcp {  
add\_field =\> ["type", "syslog"]  
host =\> "0.0.0.0"  
port =\> "5514"  
}  
udp {  
add\_field =\> ["type", "syslog"]  
host =\> "0.0.0.0"  
port =\> "5514"  
}

}

filter {

}

output {

```
      s3 {
            access_key_id => "xxxxxx"
            secret_access_key => "xxxxx"
            region => "us-east-1"
            bucket => "logs"
            size_file => 10240
            time_file => 60
            canned_acl => "private"
      }

```

}`

I don't think you can, no. I can see this relevant issue on GH - [https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-output-s3/issues/4](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-output-s3/issues/4)

If you'd like to make a PR against it we'd strongly encourage you!
