26.1. Using Webhooks

Use webhooks to receive notifications about events that happen in IQ Server. When an event occurs - for example, when an application evaluation is completed - IQ Server creates an event object. This object has relevant information about what just happened, such as the type of event and any data associated with the event. IQ Server then sends the event object to defined URLs using HTTP POST requests.

IQ Server lets you use webhooks for policy management, application evaluation, security vulnerability override management, and license override management events.

Each webhook is defined by the following:

  • The URL to POST the payload.
  • An optional secret key that ensures authenticity of the source.
  • Event types subscribed by the webhook.
