I have log files in s3, and I'd like to use filebeat to ship them to logstash. I'm not using AWS SQS, so I have no `queue_url`. Is it possible for me to consume log files from my s3 bucket, without using SQS?

I was hoping that I could just configure filebeat to consume the files directly from the s3 bucket.

Thanks for the help!
