AWS sqs metricset
The sqs metricset of aws module allows you to monitor your AWS SQS queues. sqs metricset fetches a set of values from Amazon SQS Metrics. CloudWatch metrics for Amazon SQS queues are automatically collected and pushed to CloudWatch every five minutes.
Some specific AWS permissions are required for IAM user to collect AWS SQS metrics.
cloudwatch:GetMetricData
cloudwatch:ListMetrics
ec2:DescribeRegions
sqs:ListQueues
sts:GetCallerIdentity
iam:ListAccountAliases
The aws sqs metricset comes with a predefined dashboard. For example:
- module: aws
period: 300s
metricsets:
- sqs
access_key_id: '<access_key_id>'
secret_access_key: '<secret_access_key>'
session_token: '<session_token>'
This is a default metricset. If the host module is unconfigured, this metricset is enabled by default.
For a description of each field in the metricset, see the exported fields section.
