Setting up Webhook alert integration with custom JSON payload challenges

Monitoring and Observability Grafana

Hey Everyone!

I’m trying to set up the Webhook alert integration and having some issues.

I have a url that I want to post to, but seemingly no way to attach a json payload?

I saw somewhere that I could potentially but the custom json payload in the CustomMessage, but I haven’t gotten that to work. Is there a format I have to follow?

The docs aren’t a ton of help… https://grafana.com/docs/grafana/latest/alerting/configure-notifications/manage-contact-points/integrations/webhook-notifier/

Hi, as far as I know you cannot change the JSON payload (we’ve tried and failed). Custom message most probably refers to the JSON payload message field. However in webhook you should be able to do some stuff, if that’s your application or you can configure webhook’s behavior on the webhook’s side.

I see… so is there no way to send a custom payload to an individual url?

I don’t think so. As far as I know the payload is always the same.
