Error: error reading S3 Bucket Logging: empty output

Terraform Providers AWS

Hi,

I got an error when applying for creating an S3 bucket with logging enabled. Terraform apply gave the error
Error: error reading S3 Bucket Logging: empty output

I could not figure out what is the error from the message. Need some help. Thanks.

Hey Libra! Can you provide your syntax?

Make sure to use the aws_s3_bucket_logging resource. See below!

resource "aws_s3_bucket_logging" "log_test" {
    bucket = aws_s3_bucket.test-bucket10002000.id
    
    target_bucket = aws_s3_bucket.log-bucket10002000.id
    target_prefix = "log/"
  
}

Iā€™m seeing a similar issue configuration looks like this, the issue is intermittent as well affecting different numbers of buckets each run. Any insight? Also a subsequent run will always have tainted resources which it properly sets logging on.

resource "aws_s3_bucket" "main_bucket" {
  bucket        = var.bucket_name
  force_destroy = var.force_destroy

  timeouts {
    delete = "60m"
  }

  tags = {
    Name            = var.bucket_name
    Tenant          = var.tenant
    Environment     = var.environment
    TerraformConfig = local.terraform_config
  }
}

resource "aws_s3_bucket_logging" "main_bucket" {
  bucket        = aws_s3_bucket.main_bucket.id
  target_bucket = var.s3_logging_bucket
  target_prefix = "${var.bucket_name}/"

}

I was running into the same issue but was able to get past it by:

  1. Removing the aws_bucket_logging resource from the state
  2. Importing it back into the state
  3. Rerunning the apply
