Notifications
=============
Notifications can be generated for each send, upload, update or delete image
event. These can be used for auditing, troubleshooting, etc.
Strategies
----------
* logging
This strategy uses the standard Python logging infrastructure with
the notifications ending up in file specificed by the log_file
configuration directive.
* rabbit
This strategy sends notifications to a rabbitmq queue. This can then
be processed by other services or applications.
* qpid
This strategy is similar to rabbit. It sends notifications to an AMQP
message queue via Qpid.
* noop
This strategy produces no notifications. It is the default strategy.
