Overview

Webhook is a notification mechanism that pushes event data in real time. It is more prompt in notifying events compared to polling-based or log-based mechanisms.

In IT Analytics, you can add a Webhook configuration using its name, URL, and API key on the portal and configure it as a notification option within your alert policy, in addition to the other notification options. When a Webhook detects an event, it immediately sends an HTTP request with structured data to its host to initiate a notification. The mechanism hence is very useful for sending alerts.
