+
+The Java Agent suports instrumentation for AWS SQS message queues. Our SQS instrumentation creates message broker traces but customers
+may want extra information about the usage of the SQS SDK. This document provides examples on how to do it.
+
+To see all supported SQS libraries, check the [Java compatibility and requirements page](/docs/agents/java-agent/getting-started/compatibility-requirements-java-agent). 
+
+## View SQS Distributed Tracing
+
+Out of the box, our AWS SQS SDK instrumentation adds distributed trace headers as message attributes to SQS messages. 
+However for message recieven operations, we don't offer an out of the box way to accept these headers.
+Instead we recommend cxustomers to use custom instrumentation to read the distributed trace headers.
+
+Here is an example of how to read the distributed trace headers from an SQS message using the V2 SDK:
+
+
+```java
+    public void v2Retrieve(SqsClient sqsClient, String queueUrl) {
+        List<Message> msgs = receiveMessages(queueUrl);
+        for (Message msg : msgs) {
+            handleMessage(msg);
+        }
+    }
+
+    // Since calling the SDK to recieve messages is a batch call, it is not recommended to accept distributed trace headers
+    // in the same transaction as the SDK call. Distributed traces can only have one parent span.
+    @Trace(dispatcher = true, metricName = "v2/receiveMessages")
+    public List<Message> receiveMessages(SqsClient sqsClient, String queueUrl) {
+        ReceiveMessageRequest request = ReceiveMessageRequest.builder()
+                .queueUrl(queueUrl)
+                .maxNumberOfMessages(10)
+                .build();
+
+        List<Message> messages = sqsClient.receiveMessage(request).messages();
+        if (messages.isEmpty()) {
+            logger.info("[v2 API] No messages received");
+        }
+        return messages;
+    }
+
+    // Here we accept distributed trace headers in a seperate transaction from the SDK call.
+    @Trace(dispatcher = true, metricName = "v2/handleMessage")
+    public void handleMessage(Message msg, SqsClient sqsClient, String queueUrl) {
+        // We use a wrapper class that helps extract the distributed trace headers
+        SQSReceivedMessageHeaders headers = new SQSReceivedMessageHeaders(msg);
+        // Here we accept the distributed trace headers
+        NewRelic.getAgent().getTransaction().acceptDistributedTraceHeaders(TransportType.Other, headers);
+        
+
+        // Process your message here
+
+        DeleteMessageRequest deleteMessageRequest = DeleteMessageRequest.builder()
+                .queueUrl(queueUrl)
+                .receiptHandle(msg.receiptHandle())
+                .build();
+        sqsClient.deleteMessage(deleteMessageRequest);
+    }
+```
+
+Below is the wrapper class `SQSReceivedMessageHeaders` that extracts the distributed trace headers from the SQS message:
+
+```java
+import com.newrelic.api.agent.HeaderType;
+import com.newrelic.api.agent.Headers;
+import software.amazon.awssdk.services.sqs.model.Message;
+import software.amazon.awssdk.services.sqs.model.MessageAttributeValue;
+
+import java.util.ArrayList;
+import java.util.Collection;
+import java.util.Collections;
+import java.util.List;
+import java.util.Map;
+
+public class SQSReceivedMessageHeaders implements Headers {
+
+	private Message message = null;
+
+	public SQSReceivedMessageHeaders(Message msg) {
+		message = msg;
+	}
+
+	@Override
+	public HeaderType getHeaderType() {
+		return HeaderType.MESSAGE;
+	}
+
+	@Override
+	public String getHeader(String name) {
+		String value = null;
+		Map<String, MessageAttributeValue> msgAttributes = message.messageAttributes();
+		MessageAttributeValue msgAttributeValue = msgAttributes.get(name);
+		if(msgAttributeValue != null) {
+			if(msgAttributeValue.dataType().equalsIgnoreCase("string")) {
+				value = msgAttributeValue.stringValue();
+			}
+		}
+		return value;
+	}
+
+	@Override
+	public Collection<String> getHeaders(String name) {
+		List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
+		String value = getHeader(name);
+		if(value != null && !value.isEmpty()) {
+			list.add(value);
+		}
+		return list;
+	}
+
+	@Override
+	public void setHeader(String name, String value) {
+		// Not supported
+	}
+
+	@Override
+	public void addHeader(String name, String value) {
+		// Not supported
+	}
+
+	@Override
+	public Collection<String> getHeaderNames() {
+		if(message != null) {
+			Map<String, MessageAttributeValue> attributes = message.messageAttributes();
+			if(attributes != null) return attributes.keySet();
+		}
+		return Collections.emptyList();
+	}
+
+	@Override
+	public boolean containsHeader(String name) {
+		return getHeaderNames().contains(name);
+	}
+
+}
+```
