Hello all,  
I'm working on setting up a Logstash server in AWS and have that server pull logs from an S3 bucket. When I start up my Logstash instance, I see the below error in the logs.

[2018-07-12T14:25:24,653][INFO][logstash.inputs.s3] Registering s3 input {:bucket=\>"bucket-name", :region=\>"us-east-1"}  
[2018-07-12T14:25:25,025][INFO][logstash.pipeline] Pipeline started successfully {:pipeline\_id=\>"main", :thread=\>"#\<Thread:0x2d782c29 run\>"}  
[2018-07-12T14:25:25,139][INFO][logstash.agent] Pipelines running {:count=\>1, :running\_pipelines=\>[:main], :non\_running\_pipelines=\>[]}  
[2018-07-12T14:25:25,767][INFO][logstash.agent] Successfully started Logstash API endpoint {:port=\>9600}  
[2018-07-12T14:25:27,415][ERROR][logstash.inputs.s3] **S3 input: Unable to list objects in bucket {:prefix=\>nil, :message=\>"The AWS Access Key Id you provided does not exist in our records."}**

I followed the steps outlined [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-s3.html) to set up my conf file.

My conf file has the below values for the S3 bucket, I'm not sure why I keep getting that message if my keys are provided in the conf file.

```
input {
   s3 {
    "bucket" => "bucket-name"
    "access_key_id" => "Axxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    "secret_access_key" => "sxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    "region" => "us-east-1"
  }
}

filter {
    grok {
            match => { "message" => "%{TIMESTAMP_ISO8601:date_time} %{LOGLEVEL:log-level} %{DATA:key} %{GREEDYDATA:application} %{DATA:action} %{DATA:result} %{DATA:details}" }
    }
  }

output {
    elasticsearch {
            hosts => ["vpc-ivr-core-dr2mlk5allufnmlrpya2sdtd2y.us-east-1.es.amazonaws.com:443"]
            index => "my_index"
            }
          }
```
