Webhooks – Automate Incident Response

Webhooks is a reverse API feature that allows external systems, such as PagerDuty, to post events. Rundeck parses the message and reacts to the event by running one or more jobs. Rundeck uses the message data to determine whether or not to run the jobs, which targets (nodes) to run the job on, and the values to set in job options.

In this session, we’ll preview and discuss:

  • How to define the webhook URL
  • Set rules that map events to jobs
  • Parse message data
  • Set up job execution policies for the event
  • Map message data to the job options
