Getting Data In

Has anyone encountered "Enabling dead letter queue is required for the SQS queue in this input" when creating an input for ELB Access Logs?

When trying to create an input for ELB Access Logs --> SQS Based S3, I'm receiving a warning, "Enabling dead letter queue is required for the SQS queue in this input." We ran through the steps to create the dead letter queue and continue to see the same message. Has anyone encountered this?

There are two types of deadletter queues, if your queue does not end in .fifo in the name, you may need to add it as follows: "Crete New Input" --> "Custom Data Type" --> "SQS". As opposed to "SQS Based S3".
