=== Webhook Action
|
|
|
|
Use the `webhook` action to send a request to any web service. The
|
|
webhook action supports both HTTP and HTTPS connections. See
|
|
<<webhook-action-attributes, Webhook Action Attributes>> for the supported
|
|
attributes.

|
|
==== Configuring Webhook Actions
|
|
|
|
You configure webhook actions in the `actions` array. Action-specific attributes
|
|
are specified using the `webhook` keyword.
|
|
|
|
The following snippet shows a simple webhook action definition:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
"actions" : {
|
|
"my_webhook" : { <1>
|
|
"transform" : { ... }, <2>
|
|
"throttle_period" : "5m", <3>
|
|
"webhook" : {
|
|
"method" : "POST", <4>
|
|
"host" : "mylisteningserver", <5>
|
|
"port" : 9200, <6>
|
|
"path": ":/{{ctx.watch_id}", <7>
|
|
"body" : "{{ctx.watch_id}}:{{ctx.payload.hits.total}}" <8>
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
<1> The id of the action
|
|
<2> An optional <<transform, transform>> to transform the payload before
|
|
executing the `webhook` action
|
|
<3> An optional <<actions-ack-throttle, throttle period>> for the action
|
|
(5 minutes in this example)
|
|
<4> The HTTP method to use when connecting to the host
|
|
<5> The host to connect to
|
|
<6> The port to connect to
|
|
<7> The path (URI) to use in the HTTP request
|
|
<8> The body to send with the request
|
|
|
|
You can use basic authentication when sending a request to a secured webservice.
|
|
For example, the following `webhook` action creates a new issue in GitHub:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
"actions" : {
|
|
"create_github_issue" : {
|
|
"webhook" : {
|
|
"method" : "POST",
|
|
"url" : "https://api.github.com/repos/<owner>/<repo>/issues",
|
|
"body" : "{
|
|
\"title\": \"Found errors in 'contact.html'\",
|
|
\"body\": \"Found {{ctx.payload.hits.total}} errors in the last 5 minutes\",
|
|
\"assignee\": \"web-admin\",
|
|
\"labels\": [ \"bug\", \"sev2\" ]
|
|
}",
|
|
"auth" : {
|
|
"basic" : {
|
|
"username" : "<username>", <1>
|
|
"password" : "<password>"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
<1> The username and passwword for the user creating the issue
|
|
|
|
NOTE: By default, both the username and the password are stored in the `.watches`
|
|
index in plain text. When {security} is enabled, {watcher} can encrypt the
|
|
password before storing it.
|
|
|
|
You can also use PKI-based authentication when submitting requests to a cluster
|
|
secured with {security}. When you use PKI-based authentication instead of HTTP
|
|
basic auth, you don't need to store any authentication information in the watch
|
|
itself. To use PKI-based authentication, you {ref}/notification-settings.html#ssl-notification-settings
|
|
[configure the SSL key settings] for {watcher} in `elasticsearch.yml`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[webhook-query-parameters]]
|
|
==== Query Parameters
|
|
|
|
You can specify query parameters to send with the request with the `params` field.
|
|
This field simply holds an object where the keys serve as the parameter names and
|
|
the values serve as the parameter values:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
"actions" : {
|
|
"my_webhook" : {
|
|
"webhook" : {
|
|
"method" : "POST",
|
|
"host" : "mylisteningserver",
|
|
"port" : 9200,
|
|
"path": ":/alert",
|
|
"params" : {
|
|
"watch_id" : "{{ctx.watch_id}}" <1>
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
<1> The parameter values can contain templated strings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
[[webhook-custom-request-headers]]
|
|
==== Custom Request Headers
|
|
|
|
You can specify request headers to send with the request with the `headers` field.
|
|
This field simply holds an object where the keys serve as the header names and
|
|
the values serve as the header values:
|
|
|
|
[source,js]
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
"actions" : {
|
|
"my_webhook" : {
|
|
"webhook" : {
|
|
"method" : "POST",
|
|
"host" : "mylisteningserver",
|
|
"port" : 9200,
|
|
"path": ":/alert/{{ctx.watch_id}}",
|
|
"headers" : {
|
|
"Content-Type" : "application/yaml" <1>
|
|
},
|
|
"body" : "count: {{ctx.payload.hits.total}}"
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
--------------------------------------------------
|
|
<1> The header values can contain templated strings.
