INACTIVE - SqsInput and SqsOutput plugins for Heka

Heka SQS Input/Output plugin

This is an input and output plugin that enables sending messages to and receiving messages from SQS in Heka.

Status

This plugin is a work in progress and is not ready for production use. Please give it a test though and feel free to open an issue.

How to use

To use either plugin you will need to add this project to your Heka source code by adding a line to cmake/plugin_loader.cmake that will load the plugin, like this:

add_external_plugin(git https://github.com/ianneub/heka-sqs master)

SqsInput

Example configuration:

[SqsInput]
access_key = ""
secret_key = ""
queue = "my_queue"

SqsOutput

You must use a specially configured ProtobufEncoder that has include_framing set to false in order to use the SqsOutput plugin. You must create a custom ProtobufEncoder because the default encoder sets the framing to true, which will not work with this plugin.

Example configuration:

[SqsOutput]
access_key = ""
secret_key = ""
queue = "my_queue"
message_matcher = "TRUE"
encoder = "protobuf-noframe"

[protobuf-noframe]
type = "ProtobufEncoder"
include_framing = false
