AWS S3
To configure an automatic data export to an Amazon S3 bucket, follow the steps below.
Implementation steps
Log into the AWS Console. Navigate to
Identity and Access Management (IAM)
and select theUsers
option.For security reasons, we recommend creating a new restricted user to access the designated S3 bucket. Use the
Create user
button to create a new user.Select the desired user in the
Users
window, then click on theSecurity credentials tab
and scroll down to theAccess Keys
section. There, clickCreate Access Key
to obtain a new Access Key and Secret Access Key.Copy the user's ARN (AWS unique resource number). The ARN will be required when setting up the permissions on the S3 bucket.
Navigate to https://s3.console.aws.amazon.com/s3/buckets/ to open the S3 configuration section.
Create or select an existing S3 bucket. In the bucket details pane, create a new folder (optional), and use the
Copy URL
functionality to get the public URL. This URL will be required when configuring theScheduled Data Export
in Bucket.Switch to the
Permissions
tab of the S3 bucket details window.Scroll down to the
Bucket policy
section. Normally, if no other policies have been set up, it will be empty.Click on
Edit
and paste the policy below into the editor. If there are already other statements in the S3 bucket's policy, copy the statement object and paste it into the list. Replace<user_arn>
and<bucket_arn>
with the real values from your AWS account.
Following the steps above should give you the URL, Access Key, and Secret Access Key settings required to configure an automatic data export.
