Amazon S3

The Amazon S3 executor performs a task in Amazon S3 each time it receives an event. For information about supported versions, see Supported Systems and VersionsSupported Systems and Versions in the Data Collector documentation.

Upon receiving an event, the executor can perform one of the following tasks:

Create a new Amazon S3 object for the specified content
Copy an object under 5 GB to another location in the same bucket and optionally delete the original object
Adds tags to an existing object

Each Amazon S3 executor can perform one type of task. To perform additional tasks, use additional executors.

Use the Amazon S3 executor as part of an event stream. You can use the executor in any logical way, such as writing information from an event record to a new S3 object, or copying or tagging objects after they are written by the Amazon S3 destination.

When you configure the Amazon S3 executor, you specify the connection information, such as access keys, region, and bucket. You configure the expression that represents the object name and location. When creating new objects, you specify the content to place in the objects. When copying objects, you specify the location of the object and the location for the copy. You can also configure the executor to delete the original object after it is copied. When adding tags to an existing object, you specify the tags that you want to use.

You can optionally use an HTTP proxy to connect to Amazon S3.

You can also use a connection connection to configure the executor.

You can also configure the executor to generate events for another event stream. For more information about dataflow triggers and the event framework, see Dataflow Triggers Overview.
