You can now view HAQM CloudWatch metrics directly within the HAQM Simple Queue Service (SQS) console. HAQM CloudWatch monitors your HAQM SQS and other AWS resources in real time. Within the HAQM SQS console, you can monitor CloudWatch metrics such as the number of messages sent, received, and deleted on your queues. Previously, you had to switch back and forth between browser tabs to view HAQM CloudWatch metrics. Now, you can get a rapid view of your queue metrics without leaving HAQM SQS.
To use this new feature, simply navigate to the HAQM SQS console, select up to 10 queues, and select the new Monitoring tab. Charts will be displayed showing HAQM CloudWatch metrics for the selected queues. For more details on how to monitor HAQM SQS with CloudWatch, read our documentation here.
Additionally, the HAQM SQS console has recently been updated with a refreshed look and feel. Login to the HAQM SQS console today to take a look!
