SQSPeek is a CLI application, that lets you peek messages in SQS.
When debugging messages present in DLQ, I am always frustrated with the default UI AWS provides. If there are 10 message, not a problem, this becomes a problem when there are a lot of messages and pagination kicks in.
Secondly, there is no convenient interface to download all the messages that are present in the SQS. We might need those messages for analysis.
Coming to rescue, sqsPeek
sqsPeek is a very simple CLI tool, that allows to download the messages present in SQS (Simple Queue Service).
It provides following options:
| Flag | Type | Usage |
|---|---|---|
-d, --delete |
boolean | Purge the messages in DLQ |
-f, --fileName |
string | Output file name |
-h, --help |
none | Help menu |
-p, --profile |
string | AWS Profile to use to access SQS |
-q, --queue |
string | SQS Queue URL |
-r, --region |
string | AWS Region for SQS |
Dump messages from SQS to Local disk
We can fetch the SQS messages from remote URL and store them on the local file system. Format for the stored file will be in JSON format, for easy consumption in other programs.
sqsPeek -q $QUEUE_NAMEDelete messages from SQS
We can delete the messages from remote URL, if we want to drain it.
sqsPeek -q $QUEUE_NAME -dYou can download latest binaries from here
