Not yet. [https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/11603](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/11603)

There is support in Filebeat for reading from S3. It can monitor an SQS topic for notifications of new files in a bucket and then consume that file.

Thanks, @andrewkroh for the time being this will also solve my purpose.  
But it will be great if this can be part of functionbeat.  
I am watching this [https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/11603](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/11603) for further updates
