Add Amazon SQS Notification

Amazon Simple Queue Service (SQS) is a message queuing service that is used to store and retrieve multiple messages between different microservices and distributed systems. FortiCWP supports sending notification through Amazon SQS platform.

Prerequisite

Before setup Amazon SQS with FortiCWP notification, the AWS account on FortiCWP must have Notification Permission. Notification permission can be granted to FortiCWP during AWS account onboarding.
