Have you tried using logstash and output to s3? [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-outputs-s3.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-outputs-s3.html) You can use elasticsearch as your input source ---

Hi Wayne, Thanks for your response.. I tried it once couple months back. but it is restarting randomly and starting the export from begining again. so i didn't try it now in 6.2.4. i will try it now and let you know. ---

Praveen, Do you have a sincedb configured and what version did you have that problem with? I recall having similar issue on restarts but an update solved it. Wayne ---

Hi Wayne, I just tried with logstash 6.2.4 and it restarted. i tried to configure sincedb\_path but it says unknown setting. As elasticsearch depends on scroll id. is it configurable for elasticsearch input? [LogStash::Runner] elasticsearch - Unknown setting 'sincedb\_path' for elasticsearch ---

Sorry - my bad. Since is for input not output. Can you put in debug mode and provide output here? Also, this needs to move from Elasticsearch to Logstash forum. You'll get better responses ---
