Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) is a fast, reliable, scalable, fully managed message queuing service.
Enable this integration to see all your SQS metrics in Datadog.
If you haven’t already, set up the Amazon Web Services integration first.
In the AWS integration tile, ensure that SQS is checked under metric collection.
Add those permissions to your Datadog IAM policy in order to collect Amazon SQS metrics:
sqs:ListQueues: Used to list alive queues.tag:GetResources: Get custom tags applied to SQS queues.For more information on SQS policies, review the documentation on the AWS website.
Install the Datadog - AWS SQS integration.
