AWS SQS queue length check?

[ericnipro]

Hi there,

I am trying to get the metrics of AWS SQS queue length and I noticed our metrics of ts("~metric.counter", source="awsqueueservice") is not updated frequently(updated every a few hours). Is it normal?

Thanks,

Zhaobang

Hi Zhaobang,

Metric names that start with a tilde (~) are Wavefront's internal metrics, and "~metric.counter" reports the number of time series received from a particular source. We believe the metrics you are interested in are in the "aws.sqs." namespace, e.g. ts("aws.sqs.*"). Hope this helps!

Got you! Thanks for the explanation. We are using 'aws.sqs.' now but were not sure about the ~metric.

Best,
