Hello! Are you looking at using Filebeat to ingest AWS logs? If you want to use s3 input or any of the existing AWS fileset, here is the list of permissions: [S3 input | Filebeat Reference [7.11] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/beats/filebeat/current/filebeat-input-s3.html#_aws_permissions_2)

Thanks Kaiyan  
Yes I wish to ingest AWS S3 logs  
I was wondering if any more permissions will be required as I will be installing the Filebeat agent on an EC2 instance in the client environment?
