aws_sqs

Sends messages to an SQS queue.

Introduced in version 3.36.0.

# Common config fields, showing default values
output:
  label: ""
  aws_sqs:
    url: "" # No default (required)
    message_group_id: "" # No default (optional)
    message_deduplication_id: "" # No default (optional)
    delay_seconds: "" # No default (optional)
    max_in_flight: 64
    metadata:
      exclude_prefixes: []
    batching:
      count: 0
      byte_size: 0
      period: ""
      check: ""

Metadata values are sent along with the payload as attributes with the data type String. If the number of metadata values in a message exceeds the message attribute limit (10) then the top ten keys ordered alphabetically will be selected.

The fields message_group_id, message_deduplication_id and delay_seconds can be set dynamically using function interpolations, which are resolved individually for each message of a batch.

Credentials

By default Redpanda Connect will use a shared credentials file when connecting to AWS services. It’s also possible to set them explicitly at the component level, allowing you to transfer data across accounts. You can find out more in xref:guides:cloud/aws.adoc[].

Performance

This output benefits from sending multiple messages in flight in parallel for improved performance. You can tune the max number of in flight messages (or message batches) with the field max_in_flight.

This output benefits from sending messages as a batch for improved performance. Batches can be formed at both the input and output level. You can find out more in this doc.

Fields

url

The URL of the target SQS queue.

Type: string

message_group_id

An optional group ID to set for messages. This field supports interpolation functions.

Type: string

message_deduplication_id

An optional deduplication ID to set for messages. This field supports interpolation functions.

Type: string

delay_seconds

An optional delay time in seconds for message. Value between 0 and 900 This field supports interpolation functions.

Type: string

max_in_flight

The maximum number of parallel message batches to have in flight at any given time.

Type: int

Default: 64

metadata

Specify criteria for which metadata values are sent as headers.

Type: object

metadata.exclude_prefixes

Provide a list of explicit metadata key prefixes to be excluded when adding metadata to sent messages.

Type: array

Default: []

batching

Allows you to configure a batching policy.

Type: object

# Examples


batching:
  byte_size: 5000
  count: 0
  period: 1s


batching:
  count: 10
  period: 1s


batching:
  check: this.contains("END BATCH")
  count: 0
  period: 1m

batching.count

A number of messages at which the batch should be flushed. If 0 disables count based batching.

Type: int

Default: 0

batching.byte_size

An amount of bytes at which the batch should be flushed. If 0 disables size based batching.

Type: int

Default: 0

batching.period

A period in which an incomplete batch should be flushed regardless of its size.

Type: string

Default: ""

# Examples


period: 1s


period: 1m


period: 500ms

batching.check

A Bloblang query that should return a boolean value indicating whether a message should end a batch.

Type: string

Default: ""

# Examples


check: this.type == "end_of_transaction"

batching.processors

A list of processors to apply to a batch as it is flushed. This allows you to aggregate and archive the batch however you see fit. Please note that all resulting messages are flushed as a single batch, therefore splitting the batch into smaller batches using these processors is a no-op.

Type: array

# Examples


processors:
  - archive:
      format: concatenate


processors:
  - archive:
      format: lines


processors:
  - archive:
      format: json_array

Type: string

Default: ""

credentials.id

The ID of credentials to use.

Type: string

Default: ""

credentials.secret

The secret for the credentials being used.

Type: string

Default: ""

credentials.token

The token for the credentials being used, required when using short term credentials.

Type: string

Default: ""

credentials.from_ec2_role

Use the credentials of a host EC2 machine configured to assume an IAM role associated with the instance.

Type: bool

backoff

Control time intervals between retry attempts.

Type: object

backoff.initial_interval

The initial period to wait between retry attempts.

Type: string

Default: "1s"

backoff.max_interval

The maximum period to wait between retry attempts.

Type: string

Default: "5s"

backoff.max_elapsed_time

The maximum period to wait before retry attempts are abandoned. If zero then no limit is used.
