updateWebhookAction()

Security Requirements and Controls

CreateActions API permission

API Stability Long-Term

The updateWebhookAction() GraphQL mutation is used to update a webhook action in LogScale.

To create a Webhook action, use the createWebhookAction() mutation. To test a Webhook action, there is the testWebhookAction()() mutation. You can use the deleteActionV2() to delete an action.

Hide Query Example

Show Webhook Actions Query

To get a list of Webhook actions, you could use the repository() query like so:

graphql

query {
     repository(name: "humio")
        { id, name,
          actions { id, name, 
                    ... on WebhookAction { id, name } }
          }
   }

For more information on Webhook actions, see the Action Type: Webhooks documentation page. You may also want to look at the Actions page for related information.

Syntax

graphql

updateWebhookAction(
     input: UpdateWebhookAction!
   ): WebhookAction!

Example

Below is an example of how this mutation field might be used:

Raw

graphql

mutation {
  updateWebhookAction( input:
    { viewName: "humio",
      id: "abc123",
      name: "my-webhook-action",
      url: "https://webhook.company.com",
      method: "POST",
      headers: [ {header: "Content-Type", value: "application/json"} ],
      bodyTemplate: 
             """{"repository": "{repo_name}","timestamp": "{triggered_timestamp}",
                "alert": { "name": "{name}", "query": {"queryString": "{query_string}"} },
                "warnings": "{warnings}", 
                "events": {events}, 
                "numberOfEvents": {event_count} }""",
      ignoreSSL: false,
      useProxy: false
    } )
  { isAllowedToRun }
}
