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 consume messages from the queue. The "consumer" identity must have the following permissions on the queue: * `sqs:ChangeMessageVisibility` * `sqs:ChangeMessageVisibilityBatch` * `sqs:DeleteMessage` * `sqs:DeleteMessageBatch` * `sqs:GetQueueAttributes` * `sqs:GetQueueUrl` * `sqs:ListQueues` * `sqs:ReceiveMessage` Typically, you should setup an IAM policy, create a user and apply the IAM policy to the user. A sample policy is as follows: [source,json] { "Statement": [ { "Action": [ "sqs:ChangeMessageVisibility", "sqs:ChangeMessageVisibilityBatch", "sqs:GetQueueAttributes", "sqs:GetQueueUrl", "sqs:ListQueues", "sqs:SendMessage", "sqs:SendMessageBatch" ], "Effect": "Allow", "Resource": [ "arn:aws:sqs:us-east-1:123456789012:Logstash" ] } ] } See http://aws.amazon.com/iam/ for more details on setting up AWS identities.

Environment variables `AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and `AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` 4. Environment variables `AMAZON_ACCESS_KEY_ID` and `AMAZON_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY` 5.
