Export to Amazon S3
You can use the Cloud Log Export feature to export your logs from Grafana Cloud Logs to your own long-term storage on Amazon S3 storage.
Before you begin
Before you begin you need the following:
- Amazon Cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM) role
- If you are creating a versioned bucket you also need:
- GetObjectVersion permission
- GetObjectVersionAttributes permission
- BUCKET_NAME
- BUCKET_REGION
- GRAFANA_PRINCIPAL_ARN
Steps
To create an Amazon S3 logs export bucket, complete the following steps:
- In Grafana, click Administration > Plugins in the side navigation menu to view installed plugins.
- Search for Cloud logs exporter.
- On the Cloud Logs Export screen, click Set up a bucket.
- On the Create a Logs Export Bucket page, select Amazon S3 as your target cloud provider.
- Create an S3 bucket to export your logs to using the example code.
- Grant the Cloud Logs Export service access to the bucket by creating and attaching a bucket policy statement.
- Edit your policy statement to include the sample code. The wizard provides sample code for both a versioned bucket and a non versioned bucket.
- Apply the updated policy. The wizard provides a sample AWS command that you can modify.
- Specify your bucket details.
- Specify a Bucket Name.
- Select the Bucket Region from the menu.
- Click Test. Grafana tests if the exporter has access to the cloud bucket. You should see the message “Bucket connection was successful.”
- If the validation passes, click Submit to create the bucket.
