This setting will be a required input. - -## Webhook service - -A webhook integration allows your application to receive real-time alerts from Netdata by sending HTTP requests to a specified URL. In this document, we'll go over the steps to set up a generic webhook integration, including adding headers, and implementing different types of authorization mechanisms. - -### Netdata webhook integration - -A webhook integration is a way for one service to notify another service about events that occur within it.

This ensures that the client is connecting to the intended server, and that the server is only accepting connections from authorized clients. - -This is the default authentication mechanism used if no other method is selected. - -To take advantage of mutual TLS, you can configure your server to verify Netdata's client certificate. In order to achieve this, the Netdata client sending the notification supports mutual TLS (mTLS) to identify itself with a client certificate that your server can validate. - -The steps to perform this validation are as follows: - -- Store Netdata CA certificate on a file in your disk.

The server then uses this information to authenticate the client. If this authentication method is selected, the user can set the user and password that will be used when connecting to the destination service. - -#### Bearer token authentication - -In bearer token authentication, the client sends a request with an Authorization header that includes a bearer token. The server then uses this token to authenticate the client. Bearer tokens are typically generated by an authentication service, and are passed to the client after a successful authentication. If this method is selected, the user can set the token to be used for connecting to the destination service. - -##### Challenge secret - -To validate that you has ownership of the web application that will receive the webhook events, we are using a challenge response check mechanism. - -This mechanism works as follows: - -- The challenge secret parameter that you provide is a shared secret between you and Netdata only. -- On your request for creating a new Webhook integration, we will make a GET request to the url of the webhook, adding a query parameter `crc_token`, consisting of a random string. -- You will receive this request on your application and it must construct an encrypted response, consisting of a base64-encoded HMAC SHA-256 hash created from the crc_token and the shared secret. The response will be in the format: - -```json -{ - "response_token": "sha256=9GKoHJYmcHIkhD+C182QWN79YBd+D+Vkj4snmZrfNi4=" -} -``` - -- We will compare your application's response with the hash that we will generate using the challenge secret, and if they are the same, the integration creation will succeed. - -We will do this validation everytime you update your integration configuration. - -- Response requirements: - - A base64 encoded HMAC SHA-256 hash created from the crc_token and the shared secret. - - Valid response_token and JSON format. - - Latency less than 5 seconds. - - 200 HTTP response code. - -**Example response token generation in Python:** - -Here you can see how to define a handler for a Flask application in python 3: - -```python -import base64 -import hashlib -import hmac -import json - -key ='YOUR_CHALLENGE_SECRET' - -@app.route('/webhooks/netdata') -def webhook_challenge(): - token = request.args.get('crc_token').encode('ascii') - - # creates HMAC SHA-256 hash from incomming token and your consumer secret - sha256_hash_digest = hmac.new(key.encode(), - msg=token, - digestmod=hashlib.sha256).digest() - - # construct response data with base64 encoded hash - response = { - 'response_token': 'sha256=' + base64.b64encode(sha256_hash_digest).decode('ascii') - } - - # returns properly formatted json response - return json.dumps(response) -``` - -#### Related topics - -- [Alerts Configuration](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/health/README.md) -- [Alert Notifications](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/alerts-notifications/notifications.md) -- [Manage notification methods](https://github.com/netdata/netdata/blob/master/docs/cloud/alerts-notifications/manage-notification-methods.md) |
