Huntress SIEM already has strong API and Splunk-HEC coverage, but building and maintaining dedicated integrations for every vendor takes time. A lot of vendors don’t treat SIEMs as a destination, yet they almost always offer “export to object storage” (AWS S3, sometimes S3-compatible) for retention and data lake use. Request Add native S3-based ingestion as a stopgap and scale multiplier, so Huntress can ingest logs from the long tail of vendors before (or instead of) building one-off API connectors. Please support two modes: 1. Customer-owned AWS S3 bucket ingestion (data lake source) Huntress reads new objects from a customer’s bucket using a guided IAM role/policy template. Prefer event-driven ingestion (S3 notifications to SQS) with polling fallback. 2. Huntress-hosted S3-compatible endpoint (“bucket in Huntress”) Huntress provides an S3-compatible endpoint URL plus credentials so vendors that support custom S3 endpoints can push directly to Huntress-managed storage (tenant-isolated). Why this helps • Immediately expands coverage for vendors that only offer S3 export. • Reduces MSP/enterprise reliance on custom glue (S3 → Lambda → HEC) and all the ongoing maintenance that comes with it. • Gives the Huntress SOC more telemetry sooner, while the team continues prioritizing high-value API integrations. • Complements existing HEC/APIs: use HEC/APIs for low-latency sources, use S3 for breadth and retention-oriented exports.
