A lot of empty messages with AWS SQS

[ep4sh]

I have a lot of empty messages on my Logstash indexers, I am using AWS SQS input and my attribute on SQS tier (i think it is enough time to process)

ReceiveMessageWaitTimeSeconds == 10 sec.

Is it a responsibility of

polling_frequency = 3

parameter?

Look for sqs.rb

  def polling_options
    { 
      :max_number_of_messages => MAX_MESSAGES_TO_FETCH,
      :attribute_names => SQS_ATTRIBUTES,
      :wait_time_seconds => @polling_frequency
    }
  end

polling_frequency changes wait_time_seconds for AWS SQS short / long polling, yeah
