Amazon S3 provides a simple web-services interface that can be used to store and retrieve any amount of data, at any time, from anywhere on the web. The mParticle Amazon S3 audience integration uploads daily audience membership files to an S3 bucket that you control.
\nBefore setting up the Amazon S3 audience integration, you’ll need the name of the S3 bucket you want mParticle to upload your audience files to. You’ll also need to provide access for mParticle to write data to your bucket. There are two ways to do this:
\nTo use role-based authentication, you’ll need to create an S3 bucket and set up a Bucket Policy.\nUse this link docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-arns-and-namespaces.html#arn-syntax-s3 for information on S3 ARN Syntax.
\nSample ARN syntax for S3 is: arn:aws:s3:::**bucket_name**/**key_name*.
To set up a bucket policy:
\n{bucket} with the name of the S3 bucket created in step 1.Assign Policy to Bucket. In the Bucket Policy Editor:
\n{\n \"Version\": \"2012-01-23\",\n \"Statement\": [\n {\n \"Effect\": \"Allow\",\n \"Principal\": {\n \"AWS\": \"arn:aws:iam::338661164609:role/role-audience-download-job\"\n },\n \"Action\": [\n \"s3:PutObject\",\n \"s3:PutObjectAcl\",\n \"s3:AbortMultipartUpload\",\n \"s3:ListMultipartUploadParts\"\n ],\n \"Resource\": \"arn:aws:s3:::<customer-bucket>/*\"\n }\n ]\n}Replace <customer-bucket> with the name of the S3 bucket created above, and replace the Principal ARN with the value for the pod that hosts your mParticle organization. Refer to AWS S3 Bucket Policy Principal for the correct ARN.
To use user-based authentication, you’ll need the name of an S3 bucket and the credentials of an Identity and Access Management (IAM) user that has access to S3. Refer to docs.aws.amazon.com/general/latest/gr/aws-arns-and-namespaces.html#arn-syntax-s3 for information on S3 ARN Syntax. Sample ARN syntax for S3 is: arn:aws:s3:::**bucket_name**/**key_name*.
Refer to the steps below for Amazon setup if you are assigning customer policies to a user:
\nBe sure to save the credentials file which contains the Access Key Id and Secret Access Key required for mParticle setup.
\nUse one of the following methods to create the policy:
\nCreate a Policy from Scratch:
\narn:aws:s3:::*arn:aws:s3:::{bucket}. Be sure to replace {bucket} with the name of the S3 bucket created in step 1.arn:aws:s3:::{bucket}/*. Be sure to replace {bucket} with the name of the S3 bucket created in step 1.Create a Policy from JSON:
\n{bucket} with the name of the S3 bucket created in step 1:{\n \"Version\": \"2012-10-17\",\n \"Statement\": [\n {\n \"Effect\": \"Allow\",\n \"Action\": [\n \"s3:ListAllMyBuckets\"\n ],\n \"Resource\": [\n \"arn:aws:s3:::*\"\n ]\n },\n {\n \"Effect\": \"Allow\",\n \"Action\": [\n \"s3:ListBucket\",\n \"s3:GetBucketLocation\"\n ],\n \"Resource\": [\n \"arn:aws:s3:::{bucket}\"\n ]\n },\n {\n \"Effect\": \"Allow\",\n \"Action\": [\n \"s3:GetObject\",\n \"s3:ListBucket\",\n \"s3:PutObject\",\n \"kms:Decrypt\",\n \"kms:GenerateDataKey\"\n ],\n \"Resource\": [\n \"arn:aws:s3:::{bucket}/*\"\n ]\n }\n ]\n}Custom File Exchange is a daily job that compiles the entire list of audience memberships and uploads them to your Amazon S3 bucket. For each connected audience, mParticle generates a file each day containing the current set of users that belong to that audience and uploads it to the configured S3 location.
\nYou can choose which mParticle fields to include in each exported file. Supported field types are user identities, user attributes, and calculated attributes. For each selected field, you can choose to send the value raw, hashed with MD5, or hashed with SHA256.
\n| Setting Name | \nData Type | \nDefault Value | \nDescription | \n
|---|---|---|---|
| Bucket Name | \nstring | \n\n | The name of the S3 Bucket that you’d like mParticle to forward your event data to. | \n
| Region Endpoint | \nstring | \nus-east-1 | \nAWS Region Endpoint for the S3 Bucket. Defaults to US East (N. Virginia) also known as us-east-1. | \n
| Access Key ID | \nstring | \n\n | Leave blank if using role-based authentication. This is your IAM user’s Access Key ID, which can be found on your IAM dashboard, or in the credentials.csv file that you might have downloaded after creating the IAM user. | \n
| Secret Access Key | \nstring | \n\n | Leave blank if using role-based authentication. This is your IAM user’s Secret Access Key, which can be found in the credentials.csv file that you might have downloaded after creating the IAM user. | \n
| Folder Name | \nstring | \n\n | An optional folder name in your S3 Bucket to store the event data. | \n
| Delimiter | \nenum | \n, | \nSelect the character that will separate columns in the exported file. | \n
| File Name Pattern | \nenum | \n{AudienceName}_YYYYMMDD.csv | \nSelect the file name pattern for exported files. Use {AudienceName} or {AudienceID} as identifiers, with YYYYMMDD for the date. | \n
| File Name Prefix | \nstring | \n\n | Optional prefix to add at the beginning of the exported file name. Leave empty for no prefix. | \n
| File Format | \nenum | \nUncompressed | \nSelect the file format for the exported file. GZIP compression reduces file size for faster uploads. | \n
| Include Header | \nbool | \nTrue | \nWhen enabled, the first row of the file will contain column header names. | \n
| File Columns | \nCustom Field | \n\n | Select which mParticle fields to include in the export file. You can specify custom column headers and apply hashing (SHA256, MD5) to protect sensitive data. | \n
| Include Audience ID | \nbool | \nFalse | \nWhen enabled, an additional column containing the audience ID will be included in each row of the export file. | \n
