Webhook Notification Rules

Overview

Webhook notification rules allow you to send real-time alerts to a specified URL when conditions or thresholds in your data streams are met.

Used to integrate Bytebeam with external services, webhook notifications automate workflows by allowing you to customize the request body and headers with key-value pairs. For example, a webhook notification can send data to a monitoring service when a device goes offline, triggering automated recovery actions.

Creating Webhook Notification Rule

To create a Webhook Notification in the Bytebeam console:

1

Access Notification Rules

Navigate to the Alerts tab and click on Notification Rules.

2

Initiate Creation

Click on the + Notification Rule button and select the Webhook option.

3

Fill Details

Enter the Webhook URL where the notification should be sent. Optionally, you can add Header Keys such as Content-Type and Header Values such as application/json. You can also select the created alert rules, enable Notify on Deactivation toggle and enter notification interval, define how frequently the webhook should be sent, and specify the alert template along with timezone. Finally, click Submit.

Enabling the Notify on Deactivation toggle allows you to receive notifications when an alert is deactivated, in addition to the existing activation emails.

Your new Webhook Notification Rule will appear in the Notification Rules table.

You can test the notification by clicking on Test Notification to ensure the webhook is being triggered correctly and received at the specified URL.

You can customize the activation and deactivation templates to suit your needs by following this guide.
