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 such as Advanced Message Queuing Protocol (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. The "consumer" identity must have the following permissions on the queue: * `sqs:GetQueueUrl` * `sqs:SendMessage` * `sqs:SendMessageBatch` Typically, you should setup an IAM policy, create a user and apply the IAM policy to the user. See http://aws.amazon.com/iam/ for more details on setting up AWS identities. A sample policy is as follows: [source,json] { "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "sqs:GetQueueUrl", "sqs:SendMessage", "sqs:SendMessageBatch" ], "Resource": "arn:aws:sqs:us-east-1:123456789012:my-sqs-queue" } ] } ==== Batch Publishing This output publishes messages to SQS in batches in order to optimize event throughput and increase performance. This is done using the [`SendMessageBatch`](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSSimpleQueueService/latest/APIReference/API_SendMessageBatch.html) API. When publishing messages to SQS in batches, the following service limits must be respected (see [Limits in Amazon SQS](http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSSimpleQueueService/latest/SQSDeveloperGuide/limits-messages.html)): * The maximum allowed individual message size is 256KiB. * The maximum total payload size (i.e. the sum of the sizes of all individual messages within a batch) is also 256KiB. This plugin will dynamically adjust the size of the batch published to SQS in order to ensure that the total payload size does not exceed 256KiB. WARNING: This output cannot currently handle messages larger than 256KiB. Any single message exceeding this size will be dropped. [id="plugins-{type}s-{plugin}-options"] ==== Sqs Output Configuration Options This plugin supports the following configuration options plus the <> described later.

This plugin uses the AWS SDK and supports several ways to get credentials, which will be tried in this order: 1. Static configuration, using `access_key_id` and `secret_access_key` params in logstash plugin config 2. External credentials file specified by `aws_credentials_file` 3. Environment variables `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` 4. Environment variables `AMAZON_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and `AMAZON_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` 5. IAM Instance Profile (available when running inside EC2) [id="plugins-{type}s-{plugin}-aws_credentials_file"] ===== `aws_credentials_file` * Value type is <> * There is no default value for this setting. Path to YAML file containing a hash of AWS credentials. This file will only be loaded if `access_key_id` and `secret_access_key` aren't set. The contents of the file should look like this: [source,ruby] ---------------------------------- :access_key_id: "12345" :secret_access_key: "54321" ---------------------------------- [id="plugins-{type}s-{plugin}-batch_events"] ===== `batch_events` * Value type is <> * Default value is `10` The number of events to be sent in each batch. Set this to `1` to disable the batch sending of messages. [id="plugins-{type}s-{plugin}-message_max_size"] ===== `message_max_size` * Value type is <> * Default value is `"256KiB"` The maximum number of bytes for any message sent to SQS. Messages exceeding this size will be dropped. See http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSSimpleQueueService/latest/SQSDeveloperGuide/limits-messages.html. [id="plugins-{type}s-{plugin}-proxy_uri"] ===== `proxy_uri` * Value type is <> * There is no default value for this setting. URI to proxy server if required [id="plugins-{type}s-{plugin}-queue"] ===== `queue` * This is a required setting. * Value type is <> * There is no default value for this setting. The name of the target SQS queue. Note that this is just the name of the queue, not the URL or ARN. [id="plugins-{type}s-{plugin}-region"] ===== `region` * Value can be any of: `us-east-1`, `us-east-2`, `us-west-1`, `us-west-2`, `eu-central-1`, `eu-west-1`, `eu-west-2`, `ap-southeast-1`, `ap-southeast-2`, `ap-northeast-1`, `ap-northeast-2`, `sa-east-1`, `us-gov-west-1`, `cn-north-1`, `ap-south-1`, `ca-central-1` * Default value is `"us-east-1"` The AWS Region [id="plugins-{type}s-{plugin}-secret_access_key"] ===== `secret_access_key` * Value type is <> * There is no default value for this setting.
