Webhooks

Setup Webhooks to receive notifications and alerts.

Set up

1. Visit Admin → Connections and click New connection

2. Select Webhook

3. Provide a name and configuration

You can also optionally add tags (i.e. dev). Then add the Webhook configuration information.

Add channel

Next add one or multiple target Webhook channels.

1. Visit Admin → Channels and click Webhook

2. Setup the configuration options

For example the above will create the DevOps Webhook, that is using the Webhook connection to POST information to the Webhook endpoint.

You can optionally add a specific request path for the POST, custom HTTP headers and body payload. Moreover, you can optionally disable SSL certificate verification.

Template variables

In Request path, HTTP Headers and Body payload fields there is a possibility of using template variables, which will be translated to alert specific fields. In order to use template variables you have to use this format: {{VARIABLE}}, i.e. {{LEVEL}}.

Supported template variables:

• LEVEL - alert level (INFO, LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, CRITICAL).
• CATEGORY - alert category (Infrastructure, Consumers, Kafka Connect, Topics, Producers).
• INSTANCE - (broker url / topic name etc.).
• SUMMARY - alert summary - same content we can see in Alert Events tab.
• TIMESTAMP
• ID - alert global id (i.e. 1000 for BrokerStatus alert).
• CREDS - CREDS[0] etc. - variables specified in connection’s Credentials as a list of values separated by comma.

An example

If for example you create a rule to send infrastructure notifications to Webhook, then the moment a Broker becomes offline, an HTTP POST will be made to the Webhook endpoint.

Additional info

Users with the alert permission can create alert rules .
