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.
