Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS)

Applies to: AWS Log Forwarder v1.0.10 and above

Overview

Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) is a reliable, highly scalable hosted queue for storing messages as they travel between applications or microservices. Amazon SQS moves data between distributed application components and helps you decouple these components.

Netsurion monitors events from Amazon SQS by parsing the AWS CloudTrail logs and triggers from Amazon Event Bridge. Dashboards and reports in Netsurion’s threat protection platform, EventTracker, will track the overall actions related to the Amazon SQS service to keep you informed about its activities. It will trigger alerts whenever an action that is critical to the service is carried out.

For a new instance, integrate the AWS instance to EventTracker using the EventTracker integrator lambda function, which will, in turn deliver logs to EventTracker from AWS.

 Once configured to deliver events to EventTracker Manager, dashboards, and reports can be configured into EventTracker.

For an already-integrated AWS instance, make sure to update to ETS-AWS-LogForwarder v1.1.0 or above.

Scope

The configuration details are consistent with EventTracker version 9.3X and later, and ETS-AWS-LogForwarder v1.0.10 and above.
