This is a tool to alert about messages available in a SQS queue - usually a dead letter queue. Alerts are currently sent to Slack only
Just build the tool using make
and then run it
make
./sqs-alerter
sqs-alerter
is just a simple tool and does not run as a service, it just runs once and then exits. To keep it running, run it as a cron job or using watch
command continuously every few seconds or minutes, whatever interval you wish
Create an IAM user which has access to sqs:GetQueueAttributes
and sqs:ReceiveMessage
