Message
Each window status event can produce only one AWS SQS message.
The message is submitted to the specified AWS SQS endpoint using the POST method with application/x-www-form-urlencoded content type. The request includes additional AWS headers (Authorization, X-Amz-Date) and is signed with AWS Signature Version 4.
The default message template uses the JSON format and includes all fields, including entity and metric metadata.
Response
The response status code and response content is recorded in atsd.log if the Log Response setting is enabled.
