# s3 bucket : elk folders: syslog, errorlog etc.. filepattern: syslog-

input {  
s3 {  
access\_key\_id =\> ""  
secret\_access\_key =\> ""  
bucket =\> "elk"  
region =\> "eu-central-1"  
prefix =\> "syslog/syslog-"  
additional\_settings =\> {  
force\_path\_style =\> true  
follow\_redirects =\> false  
}  
}  
}

# output { elasticsearch { hosts =\> ["[http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200)"] index =\> "apache2log-%{+YYYY.MM.dd}" user =\> "" password =\> "" } }

index is happening with all the files under different folders, need to process only files under particular folder  
I tried the prefix option with the below formats, but not indexing as expected.

1. syslog
2. syslog/
3. syslog/syslog-
