In order to test the webhook, temporarily replace the URL value in the message body with any valid URL (such as https://netapp.com) then click the Test Webhook button. Discord requires that a valid URL be supplied in order for Test Webhook functionality to work.

Be sure to set the message body back once the test completes.

Notifications via Webhook

To notify on events via webhook, navigate to Workload Security > Policies. Click on +Attack Policy or +Warning Policy.

  • Enter a meaningful policy name.

  • Select the required Attack Type(s), Devices to which policy should be attached, and required Actions.

  • Under the Webhooks Notifications dropdown, select the required Discord webhooks and save.

Note: Webhooks can also be attached to existing policies by editing them.
