I want to send log of ELB to s3 bucket. ELB logs of different service will be in different directory of my main log bucket. When I tried to put that in my input s3 conf, I am not getting any log  
Here is my s3 input conf file:  
input {  
s3 {  
bucket =\> "production-logs"  
region =\> "us-east-1"  
prefix =\> "elb/"  
type =\> "elb"  
sincedb\_path =\> "log\_sincedb"  
}  
}

But If I set a name of filepath as prefix then I can view the log in Kibana. (example: elb/production-XXXX/AWSLogs/XXXXXX/elasticloadbalancing/us-east-1/2016/02/24/). But I want to send log from all subdirectory of my bucket

do you have logstash on debug mode (it should show what it is doing on s3)? It could be taking a long time to recursively list all the files from all the directories.
