AWS Connection

LogPeak connects directly to Amazon S3 using credentials stored on your machine. No data passes through any intermediate server.

Authentication Methods

Access Key & Secret

The simplest way to connect. Provide your AWS Access Key ID and Secret Access Key.

  1. Open LogPeak and start a new S3 import
  2. Click Add Profile
  3. Enter a profile name, Access Key ID, Secret Access Key, and region
  4. Click Save

AWS SSO (Single Sign-On)

For organizations using AWS SSO:

  1. Click Add Profile and select the SSO option
  2. Enter your SSO start URL and region
  3. Complete the browser-based SSO authentication flow
  4. LogPeak stores the session locally

Multiple Profiles

You can create multiple AWS profiles for different accounts or environments (e.g., production, staging). Switch between them from the S3 browser.

Each profile stores:

  • Credentials (encrypted in your system keychain)
  • Default region
  • Default bucket and prefix (optional)

Custom S3 Endpoints

LogPeak supports S3-compatible services like MinIO or DigitalOcean Spaces. When creating a profile, specify a custom endpoint URL to connect to these services.

Security

  • Credentials are stored in your operating system’s secure keychain
  • LogPeak communicates directly with AWS — no proxy or intermediate server
  • No credentials are ever sent to LogPeak’s servers
