SQS Prometheus Exporter

A simple SQS prometheus exporter written in python. It reads the attributes from the SQS queue and exposes the
corresponding prometheus metrics.

Example response from /metrics endpoint:

# HELP approximate_number_of_messages Number of messages available
# TYPE approximate_number_of_messages gauge
approximate_number_of_messages{queue="queue1"} 0.0
# HELP approximate_number_of_messages_delayed Number of messages delayed
# TYPE approximate_number_of_messages_delayed gauge
approximate_number_of_messages_delayed{queue="queue1"} 2.0
# HELP approximate_number_of_messages_not_visible Number of messages in flight
# TYPE approximate_number_of_messages_not_visible gauge
approximate_number_of_messages_not_visible{queue="queue1"} 1.0
