Create a webhook alert response

The webhook alert response configuration allows you to send Firewall Management Center alerts to external monitoring systems or custom applications that can receive and process webhook payloads.

Before you begin

  • Ensure that your Firewall Management Center has network connectivity to the webhook endpoint.

  • To use TLS authentication, ensure that you have the required CA certificate, client certificate, and client key files available for upload.

Procedure

Step 1

Choose Policies > Alerts.

Step 2

From the Create Alert drop-down menu, choose Create Webhook Alert.

Step 3

In the Name field, enter a descriptive name for the webhook alert response.

Step 4

In the URL field, enter the URL of your webhook endpoint.

If you enter a relative URL, Firewall Management Center automatically adds the prefix http:// or https:// based on your TLS type selection in the next step.

Step 5

From the TLS type drop-down list, choose the TLS authentication type. You have these options:

  • CLIENT: Choose this option to configure one-way TLS authentication. Upload the CA certificate for the client to validate the authenticity of the server.
  • MUTUAL: Choose this option to configure two-way TLS authentication. Upload the CA certificate, client certificate, and the client certificate key for both the client and the server to authenticate mutually.
  • None: Choose this option if you don't want to configure TLS authentication.

Step 6

If you use TLS authentication, enter the credentials required for authentication with the webhook endpoint.

Step 7

(Optional) Click Test Connection to verify that your webhook endpoint is reachable and authentication is successful. This test verifies only connectivity and authentication. It does not test the ability to send alerts to the webhook endpoint.

Step 8

Click Save.
