```yaml
filebeat:
  inputs:
    - type: aws-s3
      endpoint: "http://obs.cn-north-4.myhuaweicloud.com"
      access_key_id: "###"
      secret_access_key: "###"
      non_aws_bucket_name: log-parse
      path_style: false 
      bucket_list_interval: 300s
      path_style: false
      expand_event_list_from_field: Records

```
