We'd like to use the SQS based S3 method in the Splunk Add-on for AWS, but have trouble connecting to the endpoint. From my experience it only tries to connect to the legacy URL, which is not supported with the SQS endpoint: "Private DNS doesn't support legacy endpoints such as queue.amazonaws.com or us-east-2.queue.amazonaws.com." source Legacy URL: REGION.queue.amazonaws.com New URL: sqs.REGION.amazonaws.com. I was able to create a Band-Aid fix by adding the legacy URL to /etc/hosts with the new URL's IP, but that's a fragile solution and doesn't support multiple AZs. In testing this I found that the AWS CLI supports redirecting through the use of a --endpoint-url argument: aws sqs receive-message --endpoint-url https://REGION.amazonaws.com/ --queue-url https://sqs.REGION.amazonaws.com/ACCT#/QUEUENAME It also looks like S3 might support setting a host_name value in the inputs.conf file to allow it to connect to a different endpoint. Is there a method for setting the endpoint URL for SQS? Thank you, Erocky
