Overview
Webhook is a notification mechanism that pushes event data in real time. It is more prompt in notifying events compare 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 is hence is very useful for sending alerts.
