General questions about Message Queue

Written by
Yandex Cloud
Updated at April 15, 2025

What does the "Cannot create queue: Too many queues" error mean when creating a new queue?

This error means that the limit on the maximum number of queues has been reached. To increase the limit, contact support. In your request, specify:

  1. ID of the cloud to increase the limit for.
  2. Required number of queues.
  3. Reason for having that many queues.

Do I need to create an account in Amazon to use the AWS CLI for Message Queue?

No, you can use the AWS CLI without creating an account in AWS and obtaining AWS keys. For more information, see Tools for working with Yandex Message Queue.

What kind of access key do I need to use Message Queue?

To work with the AWS CLI and Message Queue, a static access key is required. To create a key, follow this guide.

What is the maximum message size?

The maximum size of a message is 256 KB. To learn more about other limits, see Quotas and limits in Message Queue.

What SLA applies to Message Queue?

Message Queue has an SLA for 99.9% service availability.

Can I monitor Message Queue myself using Prometheus?

Yes, you can export metrics to Prometheus and get a list of metrics for various objects.

What should I specify in Default output format [None] when configuring the AWS CLI?

Leave this field empty. When configuring the AWS CLI, first specify the key ID and then the secret key.

Why are all of my messages stuck in a queue with the "Processing" status for a long time?

This may be due to a large visibility timeout value set in the queue settings. The visibility timeout is the period during which a message is hidden from a queue after a consumer read a message.

How do I delete a message and its duplicate from a queue if I can only use ReceiptHandle for deleting and cannot sort messages by MessageDeduplicationId?

No message duplicates will be recorded for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, you should delete a message duplicate based on its own ReceiptHandle.

You may see duplicates while reading if the service has not yet deleted the message after the visibility timeout expired. In this case, consider extending the timeout.

Can I get the logs of what I do when I work with Yandex Cloud?

Yes, you can request information about operations with your resources from Yandex Cloud. For more information, see Data requests.
