Hi, I have a Elasticsearch 6.2 cluster (3 master, 6 data nodes) up and running. I'd like to send data from my S3 bucket to elasticsearch so that I can view them on Kibana dashboards. I know I can do this via logstash or AWS Lambda. I'm trying with logstash. Is there any documentation to achieve this (sending data from s3 to ElasticSearch (lambda/logstash))? I came to know that I can install logstash on different server than that of Elasticsearch (correct me if I'm wrong). When I tried to install logstash on CentOS machine, by entering 6.x in /etc/yum.repos.d/logstash.repo , logstash 6.4.2 is being installed. If I change it to 6.2, it is throwing me 404 not found error. Can you please help me with this? Thank you! ---

The default distribution for most of our stack products changed with the 6.3 release of the stack. When trying to reference the differences between, say, [6.2](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/6.2/installing-logstash.html) and [6.5](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/6.5/installing-logstash.html), you absolutely need to check the documentation for the specific version rather than just changing the URL / address. In terms of documentation for using Logstash to read from S3, the answer is absolutely yes: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-s3.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-inputs-s3.html) All I did was search for `logstash s3 input` and that was what popped up. Logstash uses plugins as inputs, filters, and outputs. To _read_ from something, you use the input, which is why you'd want the S3 input. Hope that helps, Chris ---
