Hi there,

I am having trouble trying to get Logstash to use the S3 input plugin to load log files from an S3 bucket.

This is the error I get:

> [INFO][logstash.inputs.s3] S3 input: No files found in bucket {:prefix=\>"/test-recursion/\*"}

Logstash version: 6.7

and this is my pipeline config:

```
input {
  beats {
    id => "beats-input"
    type => "k8-logs"
    port => 5044
  }
  s3 {
    id => "s3-input"
    type => "emr-logs"
    bucket => "MYBUCKETNAME"
    prefix => "/test-recursion/*"
    interval => 30
    region => "MYAWSREGION"
  }
}

```

I have tried all manner of \* wildcards with no success of finding any files within any folder in a bucket.

HALP :0)

What am I missing?

OK so update. This plugin does seem to recursively look into buckets for logs but only if I remove the `prefix` setting.

Is that the expected behavior?
