kinesis firehose how to disable s3 bucket backup

Question

I deploy a kinesis firehose with http destination in AWS and enabled backup to s3 bucket. The current configuration is All data but I want to change it to Failed data only. When I look at the console this option is greyed out. Is there a way for me to update it?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, you cannot disable source record backup at the moment.

From the documentation:

You can enable source record backup when you create or update your delivery stream. You cannot disable source record backup after you enable it.

( https://docs.aws.amazon.com/firehose/latest/dev/data-transformation.html#data-transformation-source-record-backup )

Your only option is to delete the stream and re-create it.
