Webhooks

From Administration, Webhooks, admins can configure endpoint URLs where SixMap can send webhook event messages.

A webhook is an automated way for apps to send data to each other as events happen, rather than requiring constant polling or requests for data. SixMap webhooks act as push notifications from our services to endpoints you manage. At their core, they’re simply POST requests that SixMap sends to your URLs, allowing for seamless, automated integration of critical security information into your existing workflows.

Endpoints

Under Endpoints, view and manage the webhook endpoint URLs where SixMap sends event messages. For more information, see Webhook endpoints.

Endpoints tab in the Webhooks section of Administration

Event Catalog

Under Event Catalog, view all the event types that you can subscribe to webhook endpoint URLs. An event type represents a distinct category of security change within your external attack surface, such as a new vulnerability detected, a port added, or a service removed.

info

For this initial release, the only available event message type is for scan completion. We'll introduce additional event types in future releases.

Each event type displays the shape of the event payload, the values you can expect to receive, and an example payload.

Logs

Under Logs, view each webhook event message that SixMap attempted to send to your endpoint URLs. To narrow the list, select Filters, then choose the messages to view, such as specific event types or those sent last week.

Under Activity, view a snapshot of successful and failed webhook event message delivery attempts over the last six hours.
