Test and monitor webhooks

📌 Available on Plus plan only.

Testing

To test your webhooks, simply enter the details for your webhook and click the “Test” button at the bottom of the page. Rack Manage will send a test request to your endpoint with example data populated in the available handlebars variables:

{
      ALERT_CATEGORY: "RACK",
      ALERT_TYPE: ALERT_TYPE,
      ALERT_NAME: ALERT_NAME,
      RACK_ID: "00f6e964-256a-4e9e-84dc-fd917370d0fd",
      RACK_NAME: "Test Rack",
      RACK_LOCATION: "Test Location",
      RACK_ROOM: "4381023470",
      RACK_TAGS: ["test", "rack", "tags"],
      RACK_SIZE: 45,
      RACK_SLOTS: [
          {
              id: "ef99a9c3-d5ec-4d07-8de1-8f239cf8cb4b",
              model: "Dell PowerEdge R730",
              name:"Test Slot",
              serial: "13464234",
              size: 2,
              slot: 1,
              type: "Dell 2U Server.2U"
          },
      ],
  }

After your request is sent, the status code, error codes, response headers, and response body, if any, will be returned back to you to verify.

Monitoring

After your webhook is saved, you can monitor the status by viewing the “Status” column in the webhooks table of the account settings page.

If the last request sent by the webhook resulted in a 2xx status code, the status will be classified as a success. Otherwise it will show as a failure.

Hover over the status icon to see the status code, error code, and request date and time of the last request.
