We are trying to make S3 input prefix as dynamic value.

s3 {  
bucket =\> "bucketName"  
aws\_credentials\_file =\> "/root/logstash-5.3.0/config/aws\_credentials.yaml"  
delete =\> false  
interval =\> 60 # seconds  
prefix =\> "AWSLogs//CloudTrail/" ### ---\> Dynamic  
type =\> "cloudtrail"  
codec =\> "cloudtrail"  
sincedb\_path =\> "/tmp/sincedb"  
region =\> "us-east-1"  
}

We are planning to use HTTP input plugin to get S3 prefix from the user end and passing the same S3 prefix to S3 input plugin. Is it possible to do so?

You could reference an environment variable that you pass to the Logstash process or you can simply generate the configuration file.

If the environment variable changes its value then we need to restart logstash service
