HTTP Server - Send to Webhook

📘

Note

This Enforcement Action was formerly named Web Server Information - Send to Webhook.

HTTP Server - Send to Webhook serializes the entities retrieved from the saved query supplied as a trigger (or entities selected in the asset table) as JSON. This JSON data is sent to a configured webhook. When used with a saved query as a trigger, only the fields configured in the saved query are added to the JSON.

See Creating Enforcement Sets to learn more about adding Enforcement Actions to Enforcement Sets.

Required Fields

These fields must be configured to run the Enforcement Set.

  • Action name - The name of this Enforcement Action. The system sets a default name. You can change the name.
  • Configure Dynamic Values (optional) - Toggle on to enter a Dynamic Value statement. See Creating Enforcement Action Dynamic Value Statements to learn more about Dynamic Value statement syntax.
  • Webhook URL - Specify the webhook URL.
  • Custom format for body (use {$BODY} as keyword) (default: {"entities": {$BODY}}) - You can customize the webhook body.
    • Use {$BODY} to include the entities found in the saved query supplied as a trigger (or entities that have been selected in the asset table) data.
    • Use {$BODY_ESCAPED} instead of {$BODY} if you want to escape JSON characters so that the JSON is sent as a string instead of an object. The following example shows how to use the $BODY_ESCAPED option in this Enforcement Action's Dynamic Value statement.
