A webhook is a mechanism for conveying to some external system a change that took place in NetBox. For example, you may want to notify a monitoring system whenever the status of a device is updated in NetBox. This can be done by creating a webhook for the device model in NetBox and identifying the webhook receiver. When NetBox detects a change to a device, an HTTP request containing the details of the change and who made it be sent to the specified receiver.

See the webhooks documentation for more information.

Fields

Name

A unique human-friendly name.

Content Types

The type(s) of object in NetBox that will trigger the webhook.

Enabled

If not selected, the webhook will be inactive.

Events

The events which will trigger the webhook. At least one event type must be selected.

Name Description
Creations A new object has been created
Updates An existing object has been modified
Deletions An object has been deleted

URL

The URL to which the webhook HTTP request will be made.

HTTP Method

The type of HTTP request to send. Options are:

  • GET
  • POST
  • PUT
  • PATCH
  • DELETE

HTTP Content Type

The content type to indicate in the outgoing HTTP request header. See this list of known types for reference.

Additional Headers

Any additional header to include with the outgoing HTTP request. These should be defined in the format Name: Value, with each header on a separate line. Jinja2 templating is supported for this field.

Body Template

Jinja2 template for a custom request body, if desired. If not defined, NetBox will populate the request body with a raw dump of the webhook context.

Secret

A secret string used to prove authenticity of the request (optional). This will append a X-Hook-Signature header to the request, consisting of a HMAC (SHA-512) hex digest of the request body using the secret as the key.

SSL Verification

Controls whether validation of the receiver's SSL certificate is enforced when HTTPS is used.

Warning

Disabling this can expose your webhooks to man-in-the-middle attacks.

CA File Path

The file path to a particular certificate authority (CA) file to use when validating the receiver's SSL certificate (if not using the system defaults).
