This article provides information regarding the compatibility of Tableau Cloud Activity Log delivery with specific AWS S3 security configurations, such as SSL-only bucket policies and automatic Key Management Service (KMS) key rotation. Customers often inquire if these AWS best practices impact the delivery of logs from Tableau Cloud to their S3 buckets.
The SSL-only statement in a bucket policy is fully supported and recommended. Tableau Activity Log delivery utilizes HTTPS by default for all data transfers. Implementing a "Deny" policy for non-secure transport will not impact log delivery. In fact, this is a security best practice that we encourage all customers to implement.
Example Policy Snippet:
{
"Sid": "AllowSSLRequestsOnly",
"Effect": "Deny",
"Principal": "*",
"Action": "s3:*",
"Resource": [
"arn:aws:s3:::<BUCKET_NAME>",
"arn:aws:s3:::<BUCKET_NAME>/*"
],
"Condition": {
"Bool": {
"aws:SecureTransport": "false"
}
}
}
AWS KMS automatic key rotation is fully supported. When this feature is enabled, AWS rotates the backing key material while maintaining the same Key ARN. Since the ARN remains constant, Tableau Cloud can continue to deliver logs seamlessly without requiring any configuration changes or manual updates.
