Before you begin, complete the following tasks.

• Create an AWS account.
• Create a bucket with a policy that allows the following actions.
  • s3:PutObject
  • s3:PutObjectTagging
  • s3:GetObject
  • s3:GetObjectAttributes
  • s3:DeleteObject
  Note For more information, refer to Bucket policy examples.
• Ensure that you know your access keys, secret keys, bucket name, and region.

1. In the NI SystemLink Server Configuration tool, under NI SystemLink Service Manager, select FileIngestion.
2. Select Amazon Simple Storage service (S3).
3. Specify the following settings.

   Setting	Description
   Access Key	The access key string for the user provided access to the S3 bucket.
   Secret Key	The secret key string for the user provided access to the S3 bucket.
   Region	Sets the AWS region where the bucket is located. For example, us-east-1.
   Bucket	The name of the bucket in the specified AWS region stores the files. To use the name of the SystemLink workspace in the bucket name, enter <workspace>. Ensure that the workspace name follows the bucket naming rules.
   Folder	(optional) Specifies the folder to which you want to save your files. You can enter <workspace> to use the name of the SystemLink workspace in the folder name.

4. Click Apply to commit your entries.
   Note To avoid duplicate file collisions, SystemLink ensures all files names in S3 use a unique ID. The filenames from SystemLink are not shown in Amazon S3. To view the SystemLink filename, refer to the FileName tag on the Properties tab of the file in AWS.
