Testing Webhooks
Verify your webhook integrations are working correctly
After creating a webhook, it's important to test it before relying on it for critical alerts. The test feature sends a sample payload to your endpoint so you can verify the connection and see how notifications will appear.
Open Webhook Settings
Navigate to Integrations and click on the webhook you want to test.
Send Test Payload
Click the Test button. A test notification will be sent immediately.
This will send a test alert payload to your webhook endpoint. The payload will include sample data similar to a real alert.
{
"event_type": "alert.created",
"timestamp": "2025-01-15T10:30:00Z",
"alert": {
"id": "test-alert-001",
"severity": "warning",
"title": "Test Alert",
"message": "This is a test notification"
},
"instance": {
"name": "Production Cluster"
}
}
Verify Results
Check the response status and verify the notification arrived at your endpoint.
Troubleshooting Failed Tests
