Ingest events from AWS SQS but how to config timestamp field in props.conf

I am a newbie and I have understood basics on how to use the props.conf. But I dont find any doc on ingesting events from AWS SQS then how do I config the props.conf file to include event_timestamp as _time.

Definition says in props.conf is always based on source | sourcetype | host; correct me here if I am wrong. But in case of AWS SQS, all the 3 values are same for more than 1 index. I want this change only for 1 specific index.

Appreciate some insight

sourcetype: aws:s3:accesslogs
source: "s3://jjacob-stats/prod/*.gz"
host: ip-10-0-0-255
