This is a community-maintained plugin!

Push events to an Amazon Web Services Simple Queue Service (SQS) queue.

SQS is a simple, scalable queue system that is part of the Amazon Web Services suite of tools.

Although SQS is similar to other queuing systems like AMQP, it uses a custom API and requires that you have an AWS account. See http://aws.amazon.com/sqs/ for more details on how SQS works, what the pricing schedule looks like and how to setup a queue.

To use this plugin, you must:

  • Have an AWS account
  • Setup an SQS queue
  • Create an identify that has access to publish messages to the queue.

The "consumer" identity must have the following permissions on the queue:

  • sqs:ChangeMessageVisibility
  • sqs:ChangeMessageVisibilityBatch
  • sqs:GetQueueAttributes
  • sqs:GetQueueUrl
  • sqs:ListQueues
  • sqs:SendMessage
  • sqs:SendMessageBatch

Typically, you should setup an IAM policy, create a user and apply the IAM policy to the user. A sample policy is as follows:

     {
       "Statement": [
         {
           "Sid": "Stmt1347986764948",
           "Action": [
             "sqs:ChangeMessageVisibility",
             "sqs:ChangeMessageVisibilityBatch",
             "sqs:DeleteMessage",
             "sqs:DeleteMessageBatch",
             "sqs:GetQueueAttributes",
             "sqs:GetQueueUrl",
             "sqs:ListQueues",
             "sqs:ReceiveMessage"
           ],
           "Effect": "Allow",
           "Resource": [
             "arn:aws:sqs:us-east-1:200850199751:Logstash"
           ]
         }
       ]
     }

See http://aws.amazon.com/iam/ for more details on setting up AWS identities.
