Hi @Marcus-advent,

The only parameter configurable via Splunk Web is the URL, which must be properly encoded.

The webhook alert action uses a predefined JSON object body. The field values from the first result of your alert search will be added to the body's result field. See https://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Alert/Webhooks for more information.

The webhook source code is very simple. You can view it directly in $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/alert_webhook/bin/webhook.py or by downloading and extracting a copy of Splunk Enterprise for any platform if you don't have access to your Splunk instance.

This means that we can only return the standard content. Can't be customized? Will these contain log message, resource, resourceType?

 

And I have this post interface

like this https://abc.ssnc-corp.cloud/splunk

I asked the my splunk administrator to add “ssnc-corp.cloud” to the allow list, but it didn't seem to work. Do we need to restart splunk? What if I can check the reason why it does not take effect?
