Prerequisites

If you plan to configure detailed query statistics support, you must provide a bucket with read-write policy access for the query statistics data. You should use a new bucket for this purpose; do not use a cs- bucket where index files are written. You could use a bucket that holds your raw data files, but the ChaosSearch service must have write access to save the statistics data there.

In the policy for the target bucket, the following IAM permissions must be granted for ChaosSearch's policy:

s3:GetObjectTagging
s3:PutObjectTagging
s3:ListBucket
s3:GetObject
s3:PutObject

ChaosSearch does not require a lifecycle policy on the bucket. You should use a retention time that matches your site policies for keeping data for possible reporting time ranges.

Provide the target bucket's ARN to your Customer Success engineer to schedule a service engagement for configuration. If the bucket is used for multiple purposes, also provide a prefix path which aligns to your object organization strategies.
