Can Cribl Stream read AWS S3 tags? I know there are multiple places where you can add tags to parts of the stream, such as in the Source or in a Pipeline, but I want my stream to be able to read the tags that are assigned via S3 in order to filter them. If that's not possible, would I be able to call a Lambda function and use that to manage the tags instead?

@Aaron Hornbuckle I don't think we're going to be able to read S3 tags today. You'll either need to use a Lambda to enrich them before sending to Cribl, or we'll need to look at adding something to support this.

    Looking at the documentation for S3, in the optional settings, it references tags.

    Thank you for your reply, Tony! Just to clarify, I did see that in the documentation. I just wanted to verify that that tagging feature enables reading of tags preexisting on data coming in from the source, and not just adding a new tag to the data. IE I add tags to data in S3 and then that tagging feature in Cribl allows me to read/filter/group.

    @Tony Reinke - Cribl those "tags" in Cribl are for organization of config items in the UI and won't work for this use case.
