HQ MongoDB check collection size

https://github.com/jamespharaoh/hq-aws-check-sqs-queue https://rubygems.org/gems/hq-aws-check-sqs-queue

This project provides an icinga/nagios plugin to check the number of items in an Amazon AWS SQS queue.

For most use cases, simply install the ruby gem:

gem install hq-aws-check-sqs-queue

You can also install the gem as part of a bundle and run it using the "bundle exec" command.

mkdir my-bundle
cd my-bundle
echo 'source "https://rubygems.org"' >> Gemfile
echo 'gem "hq-aws-check-sqs-queue"' >> Gemfile
bundle install --path gems

If you want to develop the script, clone the repository from github and use bundler to satisfy dependencies:

git clone git://github.com/jamespharaoh/hq-aws-check-sqs-queue.git
cd hq-aws-check-sqs-queue
bundle install --path gems

If the gem is installed correctly, you should be able to run the command with the following name:

hq-aws-check-sqs-queue (options...)

If it was installed via bundler, then you will want to use bundler to invoke the command correctly:

bundle exec hq-aws-check-sqs-queue (options...)

You will also need to provide various options for the script to work correctly.

--config PATH

The --config option specifies the configuration file, which should contain a list of one or more AWS secret access keys. The format is described below.

--account NAME
--queue-name NAME

The --account option specifies which credentials to select from the configuration file.

The --queue-name account specifies the name of the queue to check and is passed directly to AWS.

--warning COUNT
--critical COUNT

These options specify the levels at which to generate warnings.

The configuration file stores details of AWS secret access keys. It is used to obtain access to the information.

Here is a sample:

<aws-accounts>

	<aws-account
		name="production"
		access-key-id="022QF06E7MXBSH9DHM02"
		secret-access-key="kWcrlUX5JEDGM/LtmEENI/aVmYvHNif5zB+d9+ct"/>

	<aws-account
		name="development"
		access-key-id="022QF06E7MXBSH9DHM02"
		secret-access-key="kWcrlUX5JEDGM/LtmEENI/aVmYvHNif5zB+d9+ct"/>

</aws-accounts>
