Hello,
Is it possible to create an index just for one file in a S3 bucket?
Also,is it possible to change the type or tag based on the file name in the bucket.
Thank you.

Hi,
You could use Logstash's s3 input to create your index:

Hello Mike,
I used the S3 input, but it takes all the files in the bucket. I would like to index just one of the n-files in the buckets.

Hi,
Can you try using a prefix which matches only the file you want and see if that works:

That doesn't work either.
Thank you.
