Managed Resources

When you connect to your S3 account for the first time, you will see a number of pre-existing buckets.

Pre-Existing Buckets

• dcp-$ID-request — used to make requests to create new buckets. See: Creating Buckets
• dcp-$ID-managed — contains generated files such as audit logs, inventory, and reports. This bucket is read-only.
• dcp-$ID-public — default public bucket. Files uploaded here will be publicly accessible via CloudFront.

Managed Bucket Structure

Over time, the dcp-$ID-managed bucket will contain the following folders:

• audit/ — AWS audit logs, organized by bucket
• batch/ — outputs from S3 batch operations
• cloudtrail/ — S3 event logs
• feedback/ — troubleshooting files generated when errors occur
• manifests/ — raw S3 inventory files generated by AWS
• metadata/ — internal stats used by the application (checksums, inventory, storage)
  • 0000-00-00-LATEST/ — most recent version of each stat file (sorts first)
  • YYYY-MM-DD/ — date-stamped archive copies
• reports/ — reports intended for user review and download
  • 0000-00-00-LATEST/checksums/ — most recent checksum reports
  • 0000-00-00-LATEST/manifests/ — most recent inventory manifest CSVs (one per bucket)
  • 0000-00-00-LATEST/storage/ — most recent storage usage HTML report
  • YYYY-MM-DD/ — date-stamped archive copies of all reports

See the Reports page for more detail on the contents of the reports/ folder.
