Hello, I am to work on a use case of ingesting aws cloud trail logs from a s3 bucket into logstash.

- A number of logstash servers are spun by the auto scaling group
- Do I need to apply s3 input config to every one of them as bootstrap config ?
- If so, will several logstash servers work to digest files from s3 ? could this result into duplicate entries in elasticsearch ?
- Or is there a better way to push config to servers, auto magically ?

thank you, and I look forward to advise.

Best regards

Logstash's s3 input has no support for multiple instances pulling logs from the same bucket.
