Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) is integral to Event Driven Architecture. New Relic's NRQL enables detailed querying of SQS metrics, enhancing visibility into message handling. Key metrics include ApproximateNumberOfMessagesVisible, NumberOfMessagesSent, NumberOfMessagesReceived, and NumberOfMessagesDeleted. Monitoring these metrics allows users to assess performance and identify bottlenecks. Specific queries can help visualize these metrics through custom dashboards and alerts. Tracking these metrics is crucial for ensuring efficient message processing and system optimization over time.
New Relic Query Language (NRQL) allows you to query the Metric database from the CloudWatch Metrics integration. These queries can help with building insightful custom dashboards and intelligent alerts.
The key metrics we will look into are ApproximateNumberOfMessagesVisible, NumberOfMessagesSent, NumberOfMessagesReceived, and NumberOfMessagesDeleted.
ApproximateNumberOfMessagesVisible represents the approximate number of messages available for retrieval from the queue.
A crucial aspect of monitoring SQS is ensuring that the number of messages sent, received, and deleted are tracked effectively for performance assessment.
