=== Beats version 8.4.1
https://github.com/elastic/beats/compare/v8.4.0\...v8.4.1[View commits]
==== Known Issue
// tag::credentials-error[]
*Filebeat*
Filebeat agents configured to read from AWS inputs may return an error similar to the following:
[source,shell]
----
sqs ReceiveMessage failed: operation error SQS: ReceiveMessage, https response
error StatusCode: 403, RequestID: cb57783a-505f-5099-9160-23b8eea8ddbb,
api error SignatureDoesNotMatch: Credential should be scoped to a valid region.
----
This error was introduced by a breaking change in the AWS library.
IMPORTANT: This issue also affects FIPS-enabled endpoints. **If you rely on FIPS,
do not upgrade until version 8.4.2 of the {stack} is available.** The workaround
documented here will not resolve this problem.
Suggested resolution: In the Filebeat configuration, if an AWS input or module
configuration sets `endpoint` to a non empty string, set it to an empty string
instead. Also make sure the default AWS region is set in an environment
variable, credentials or instance profile, or in the `default_region` setting in
the configuration. For example:
[source,yaml]
----
filebeat.inputs:
- type: aws-s3
...
endpoint: "" <1>
default_region: us-east-1
----
<1> You can set this value to an empty string or remove the configuration setting.
Or for modules:
[source,yaml]
----
s3access:
enabled: false
...
var.endpoint: "" <1>
var.default_region: us-east-1
----
<1> You can set this value to an empty string or remove the configuration setting
// end::credentials-error[]
