file source, do not decompress

[luisloros]

Hi Vector team,

We have an use case where we want to push compressed files directly to S3.
We are seeing that Vector is opening those compressed files (as described here). In our case, we don't need to parse the logs inside those files, we just want to store them for eventual offline analysis.

Would it be possible for Vector not to open those files and just push them to S3 directly?

Hi @luisloros ! If you just want to copy files to S3, I think the AWS CLI would be a better bet. You can use aws s3 sync or aws s3 cp to copy files to S3.
