Rules

  • Job : This is the job you want to execute when this webhook is triggered. You can just choose the job you wish to use.

  • Node Filter : This is the node filter that you want to be applied for the execution of the job. Can also be blank.

  • User : This is the user that the job is run by. This will override the previously defined user if specified. Can also be blank.

Options

With this webhook, users have the ability to pass data from the payload to the job in the form of job options. In order to do so, you need to specify the following:

  • Option Name : This is the name of the option that you created in the definition of the job you want to execute. So, if you have an option called "date" in the job you want to execute with the webhook, you would put "date" here as well.

  • Option Value : This is the value that you want to be passed as the option. This can be any of the fields from the payload. For example, you could select date and it would pass the date from the payload to the option.

Conditions

With this webhook, users have the ability to specify a condition (using data from the event) that needs to be met in order for the job to be executed. In order to do so, you need to specify the following:

  • Event Field : This is the field from the payload of data that you wish to use. If you choose "id", the job will only execute if the webhook event contains that id.

  • Value : This is the value that the event field must be equal to in order for the job to execute. If you chose "id" and then specify 1234 here, then only events with the datadog id 1234 will execute the job.
