Before the first execution you need to create an IAM-Role (e.g. for usage on EC2/ECS) or an IAM-User with an AWS Key and Secret and attach the required policies for pushing notifications via SNS.
You also need to create one ore more subscription topics you want to push the messages to.

On the Settings Tab you need to define your AWS Credentials. You can choose either to have the plugin search these credentials via the AWS Credentials Chain or provide the following:

• your AWS Access Key,
• the Secret for your AWS Access Key and
• the AWS-Region the service is running in.

You further have to enter the URL of the SQS Queue (starting with https:// - not the ARN!)
