Prerequisite

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

If the Notification Permission was not selected during the AWS account onboarding process, you can update the account installation to include the Notification Permission. Please see Update AWS Account Automatically, , or Update AWS Organization.

After you verify that Notification Permission is added to AWS account, you can create a new SQS queue on AWS.

Follow the AWS tutorial guide to create a new Amazon SQS queue:
