To enable usage of Solvimon's data seamlessly in your S3 AWS location. This page describes the steps necessary to connect your S3 AWS to Solvimon for data exporting.

Getting started

Requirements

The following access is required for us to set-up a connection from Solvimon to your AWS S3 bucket.

• An AWS Account with IAM privileges to grant read and list permissions for S3 buckets, or alternatively an existing S3 bucket with Access Key and Secret.
• A project in AWS portal.

Step 1: Create an AWS Access Key, Secret and a user policy

First of all, sign in to your AWS account. Follow the instructions to create an Access Key ID and Secret Access Key, which will be required to establish the connection to upload the Solvimon data to your S3 bucket. The IAM user associated with the credentials must be granted read and list permissions for the bucket and its objects. If you already have an existing Access Key and Secret, there is no need to create a new one.

This is a step to help you obtain the required permissions and credentials, and therefore the Access Key and Secret.

1. Log in to Amazon AWS and open the IAM console.
2. Go to Policies and then click Create Policies.
3. Select JSON tab, and paste the following JSON in the policy editor, by substituting the variables with your bucket name (replace {YOUR_BUCKET_NAME}). It is relevant to know that in this JSON there are not only the policies for the user, but also to be able to manage the S3 bucket properly.

{
  "Version": "2012-10-17",
  "Statement": [
    {
      "Effect": "Allow",
      "Action": [
        "s3:PutObject",
        "s3:GetObject",
        "s3:DeleteObject",
        "s3:PutObjectAcl",
        "s3:ListBucket",
        "s3:ListBucketMultipartUploads",
        "s3:AbortMultipartUpload",
        "s3:GetBucketLocation"
      ],
      "Resource": ["arn:aws:s3:::{YOUR_BUCKET_NAME}/*", "arn:aws:s3:::{YOUR_BUCKET_NAME}"]
    }
  ]
}

4. Click now Create policy.
5. In the IAM dashboard, go to Users and either create a new one or use an existing one.
6. Go to Add Permissions and select Attach policies directly, where you have to find the policy that has just been created.
7. Once the user with its permissions is created, select the Security credentials tab and click Create access key. Click Create access key to generate the keys.

Step 2: Create an S3 Bucket

The S3 Bucket will be the destination where the data coming from Solvimon will be exported. To create a bucket, in case you don't have one already for this purpose, you can follow this documentation.

Step 3: Share the relevant information with Solvimon

As soon as we receive this information we will reach out and work with you directly to set-up the relevant data exports.
