Retrieve the manifest file content [manifest uploaded manually - not stored in S3]

Q&A

I have several datasets in Amazon Quick Sight that were created using an S3 source, and the manifest file was uploaded manually (not stored in S3). Now, I need to extract the content of the manifest file to find the exact S3 file locations associated with each dataset.

I’ve tried using the describe-data-set and describe-data-source API, but it does not provide the manifest file content or the S3 file path.

Is there any way to retrieve the manifest file details using the AWS API, CLI, or any alternative method?

Hi @Zerry00

If the manifest file is manually uploaded into Quick Sight, the file content and its S3 file paths cannot be retrieved using any AWS API, CLI, or alternative method. The S3Parameters field, specifically ManifestFileLocation (which includes the Bucket and Key), is only populated when the manifest file is stored in S3. When manually uploaded, this field is returned as NULL.

For more details, please see the describe-data-source documentation.

Thanks @Xclipse

It seems that there isn’t a direct or indirect way to establish the S3 association with a dataset when using manually uploaded manifest files.
