The object used to specify the Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) queue where EventBridge sends events after a failed target invocation. Invocation can fail, for example, when sending an event to a Lambda function that doesn’t exist, or insufficient permissions to invoke the Lambda function. For more information, see Event retry policy and using dead-letter queues in the Amazon EventBridge User Guide.
Note: The AWS::Serverless::Function resource type has a similar data type, DeadLetterQueue
which handles failures that occur after successful invocation of the target Lambda function. Examples of this type of failure include Lambda throttling, or errors returned by the Lambda target function. For more information about the function DeadLetterQueue
property, see AWS Lambda function dead letter queues in the AWS Lambda Developer Guide.
To declare this entity in your AWS Serverless Application Model (AWS SAM) template, use the following syntax.
[Arn](#sam-function-scheduledeadletterconfig-arn): String
[QueueLogicalId](#sam-function-scheduledeadletterconfig-queuelogicalid): String
[Type](#sam-function-scheduledeadletterconfig-type): String
Arn
The Amazon Resource Name (ARN) of the Amazon SQS queue specified as the target for the dead-letter queue.
Note: Specify either the Type
property or Arn
property, but not both.
Type: String
Required: No
AWS CloudFormation compatibility: This property is passed directly to the [Arn](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGuide/aws-properties-events-rule-deadletterconfig.html#cfn-events-rule-deadletterconfig-arn)
property of the AWS::Events::Rule
DeadLetterConfig
data type.
QueueLogicalId
The custom name of the dead letter queue that AWS SAM creates if Type
is specified.
Note: If the Type
property is not set, this property is ignored.
Type: String
Required: No
AWS CloudFormation compatibility: This property is unique to AWS SAM and doesn't have an AWS CloudFormation equivalent.
Type
The type of the queue. When this property is set, AWS SAM automatically creates a dead-letter queue and attaches necessary resource-based policy to grant permission to rule resource to send events to the queue.
Note: Specify either the Type
property or Arn
property, but not both.
