the source code and customize it for your needs.

The Agent requires Python 2.7 or higher. The instructions here assume that you're

# Notes
Events are added to a local queue

- If PagerDuty Agent loses connectivity for whatever reason
- Events in the queue will fail to send and be retried and stored according to the agent's retry logic
- There is no hard limit on the number of events stored in the queue
- Once connectivity is regained, queued events may be pushed out automatically
- In the case of prolonged outages, sends can be manually retried
> <https://support.pagerduty.com/docs/pagerduty-agent-integration-guide#manage-the-queue>

- If the agent runs up against the API Rate Limit, the rate limited events will be retried in perpetuty until they are either successfully delivered, or receive a `5xx` response, which will invoke the retry logic
