--queue-url
(string)
The URL of the Amazon SQS queue whose attribute information is retrieved.
Queue URLs and names are case-sensitive.
--attribute-names
(list)
A list of attributes for which to retrieve information.
The
AttributeName.N
parameter is optional, but if you don’t specify values for this parameter, the request returns empty results.Note
In the future, new attributes might be added. If you write code that calls this action, we recommend that you structure your code so that it can handle new attributes gracefully.
The following attributes are supported:
Warning
The
ApproximateNumberOfMessagesDelayed
,ApproximateNumberOfMessagesNotVisible
, andApproximateNumberOfMessagesVisible
metrics may not achieve consistency until at least 1 minute after the producers stop sending messages. This period is required for the queue metadata to reach eventual consistency.
All
– Returns all values.
ApproximateNumberOfMessages
– Returns the approximate number of messages available for retrieval from the queue.
ApproximateNumberOfMessagesDelayed
– Returns the approximate number of messages in the queue that are delayed and not available for reading immediately. This can happen when the queue is configured as a delay queue or when a message has been sent with a delay parameter.
ApproximateNumberOfMessagesNotVisible
– Returns the approximate number of messages that are in flight. Messages are considered to be in flight if they have been sent to a client but have not yet been deleted or have not yet reached the end of their visibility window.
CreatedTimestamp
– Returns the time when the queue was created in seconds (epoch time ).
DelaySeconds
– Returns the default delay on the queue in seconds.
LastModifiedTimestamp
– Returns the time when the queue was last changed in seconds (epoch time ).
MaximumMessageSize
– Returns the limit of how many bytes a message can contain before Amazon SQS rejects it.
MessageRetentionPeriod
– Returns the length of time, in seconds, for which Amazon SQS retains a message.
Policy
– Returns the policy of the queue.
QueueArn
– Returns the Amazon resource name (ARN) of the queue.
ReceiveMessageWaitTimeSeconds
– Returns the length of time, in seconds, for which theReceiveMessage
action waits for a message to arrive.
RedrivePolicy
– The string that includes the parameters for the dead-letter queue functionality of the source queue as a JSON object. For more information about the redrive policy and dead-letter queues, see Using Amazon SQS Dead-Letter Queues in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide .
deadLetterTargetArn
– The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the dead-letter queue to which Amazon SQS moves messages after the value ofmaxReceiveCount
is exceeded.
maxReceiveCount
– The number of times a message is delivered to the source queue before being moved to the dead-letter queue. When theReceiveCount
for a message exceeds themaxReceiveCount
for a queue, Amazon SQS moves the message to the dead-letter-queue.
VisibilityTimeout
– Returns the visibility timeout for the queue. For more information about the visibility timeout, see Visibility Timeout in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide .The following attributes apply only to server-side-encryption :
KmsMasterKeyId
– Returns the ID of an Amazon Web Services managed customer master key (CMK) for Amazon SQS or a custom CMK. For more information, see Key Terms .
KmsDataKeyReusePeriodSeconds
– Returns the length of time, in seconds, for which Amazon SQS can reuse a data key to encrypt or decrypt messages before calling KMS again. For more information, see How Does the Data Key Reuse Period Work? .
SqsManagedSseEnabled
– Returns information about whether the queue is using SSE-SQS encryption using SQS owned encryption keys. Only one server-side encryption option is supported per queue (e.g. SSE-KMS or SSE-SQS ).The following attributes apply only to FIFO (first-in-first-out) queues :
FifoQueue
– Returns information about whether the queue is FIFO. For more information, see FIFO queue logic in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide .Note
To determine whether a queue is FIFO , you can check whether
QueueName
ends with the.fifo
suffix.
ContentBasedDeduplication
– Returns whether content-based deduplication is enabled for the queue. For more information, see Exactly-once processing in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide .The following attributes apply only to high throughput for FIFO queues :
DeduplicationScope
– Specifies whether message deduplication occurs at the message group or queue level. Valid values aremessageGroup
andqueue
.
FifoThroughputLimit
– Specifies whether the FIFO queue throughput quota applies to the entire queue or per message group. Valid values areperQueue
andperMessageGroupId
. TheperMessageGroupId
value is allowed only when the value forDeduplicationScope
ismessageGroup
.To enable high throughput for FIFO queues, do the following:
Set
DeduplicationScope
tomessageGroup
.Set
FifoThroughputLimit
toperMessageGroupId
.If you set these attributes to anything other than the values shown for enabling high throughput, normal throughput is in effect and deduplication occurs as specified.
For information on throughput quotas, see Quotas related to messages in the Amazon SQS Developer Guide .

--cli-input-json
| --cli-input-yaml
(string)
Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton
. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml
.
--generate-cli-skeleton
(string)
Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input
, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json
. Similarly, if provided yaml-input
it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml
. If provided with the value output
, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command. The generated JSON skeleton is not stable between versions of the AWS CLI and there are no backwards compatibility guarantees in the JSON skeleton generated.
--debug
(boolean)
Turn on debug logging.
--endpoint-url
(string)
Override command’s default URL with the given URL.
--no-verify-ssl
(boolean)
By default, the AWS CLI uses SSL when communicating with AWS services. For each SSL connection, the AWS CLI will verify SSL certificates. This option overrides the default behavior of verifying SSL certificates.
--no-paginate
(boolean)
Disable automatic pagination.
--output
(string)
The formatting style for command output.
json
text
table
yaml
yaml-stream
--query
(string)
A JMESPath query to use in filtering the response data.
--profile
(string)
Use a specific profile from your credential file.
--region
(string)
The region to use. Overrides config/env settings.
--version
(string)
Display the version of this tool.
--color
(string)
Turn on/off color output.
on
off
auto
--no-sign-request
(boolean)
Do not sign requests. Credentials will not be loaded if this argument is provided.
--ca-bundle
(string)
The CA certificate bundle to use when verifying SSL certificates. Overrides config/env settings.
--cli-read-timeout
(int)
The maximum socket read time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket read will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.
--cli-connect-timeout
(int)
The maximum socket connect time in seconds. If the value is set to 0, the socket connect will be blocking and not timeout. The default value is 60 seconds.
--cli-binary-format
(string)
The formatting style to be used for binary blobs. The default format is base64. The base64 format expects binary blobs to be provided as a base64 encoded string. The raw-in-base64-out format preserves compatibility with AWS CLI V1 behavior and binary values must be passed literally. When providing contents from a file that map to a binary blob fileb://
will always be treated as binary and use the file contents directly regardless of the cli-binary-format
setting. When using file://
the file contents will need to properly formatted for the configured cli-binary-format
.
base64
raw-in-base64-out
--no-cli-pager
(boolean)
Disable cli pager for output.
--cli-auto-prompt
(boolean)
Automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.
--no-cli-auto-prompt
(boolean)
Disable automatically prompt for CLI input parameters.
Note
To use the following examples, you must have the AWS CLI installed and configured. See the Getting started guide in the AWS CLI User Guide for more information.
Unless otherwise stated, all examples have unix-like quotation rules. These examples will need to be adapted to your terminal’s quoting rules. See Using quotation marks with strings in the AWS CLI User Guide .
