AWS S3
Configuring the AWS S3 backend (Managed)
Getting Started
Odigos exports data to AWS s3 in OTLP format. Data can be exported either in JSON format or in binary format (protobuf).
Setting up AWS S3 Bucket
If you haven’t already, you need to create an S3 bucket to store your data. You can do it using the AWS Management Console or the AWS CLI.
For example, to create a bucket named otel-data
in region us-east-1
using the AWS CLI, you can run the following command:
Setting up AWS credentials with AWS EKS (Elastic Kubernetes Service)
The follwoing command will create a link between your EKS cluster and your IAM account, effectively allowing the EKS cluster to assume IAM roles and access AWS services.
Replace $EKS_CLUSTER_REGION
with the region of your EKS cluster and $EKS_CLUSTER_NAME
with the name of your EKS cluster (or set them as environment variables).
Then, create an IAM policy that allows Odigos to send data to your S3 bucket:
You can do it with the aws cli.
- Replace
otel-data
with the name of your bucket if you used a different name. - The policy name is
odigos-s3
in this example, you can use it or choose a different name. Take note of the policy ARN, you will need it in the next step.
Or use the aws management console to create the policy.
The last step is to configure this IAM policy to be assumed by the EKS cluster. Use the following cli command as template and adjust it according to your setup:
- make sure to replace the
--attach-policy-arn
value with the ARN of the policy you created in the previous step. - use your EKS cluster name and region.
Format
The aws s3 exporter supports two formats: otlp_json
and otlp_proto
.
Each batch of logs / metrics / spans will be written as a single s3 object in the specified bucket. The content of the object will be the serialized data in the OpenTelemetry Protocol format, represented as either JSON or Protocol Buffers.
For example, the following JSON string represents a single span in otlp_json
format, from Odigos demo application:

Adding Destination to Odigos
There are two primary methods for configuring destinations in Odigos:
Using the UI
Use the Odigos CLI to access the UI
Click on Add Destination
, select AWS S3
and follow the on-screen instructions
Using Kubernetes manifests
Save the YAML below to a file (e.g. s3.yaml
)
Apply the YAML using kubectl
