Introduction
Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) offers a secure, durable, and available hosted queue that lets you integrate and decouple distributed software systems and components.
Amazon SQS provides:
- Common constructs such as dead-letter queues and cost allocation tags.
- Generic web service APIs that can be accessed by any programming language that the AWS SDK supports.
Note
Use the OpsRamp AWS public cloud integration to discover and collect metrics against the AWS service.Setup
To set up the OpsRamp AWS integration and discover the AWS service,
go to AWS Integration Discovery Profile and select SQS.
