I would like to view SQS messages before they get picked up by sqsd on my Elastic Beanstalk intstance. Is there a way, once ssh'ed into the instance, that sqsd can be stopped / started as a service all together?
For the purpose of debugging you may stop sqsd by running sudo service aws-sqsd stop on the instance. You can check the status by running sudo service aws-sqsd status. Note this is not recommended for a production service but for the purpose of debugging you may try this.
