Payload

Each event payload is a JSON object with properties event and data objects. The event object holds the event, and the data property holds a representation of the resource at the time the event was issued.

Verifying Webhooks

Each webhook HTTP request includes a X-Rootly-Signature header, used to verify the request came from Rootly. The signature header contains a timestamp prefixed with t= and a signature prefixed with v= .

Text
X-Rootly-Signature:
t=1492774588,
v1=6657a869e8ecebeda32affa62cdca3fa51cad7e77a0e56ff536d0ce8e108d8bd

To verify the request, concatenate the timestamp with the request body and generate a SHA256 HMAC digest using the webhook secret available in the webhook configuration. The HMAC digest should match the provided signature.

Ruby
require 'openssl'

# Assuming 'request' is an object representing the incoming HTTP request
header = request.headers['X-Rootly-Signature']
parts = header.split(',')
timestamp = parts[0].split('t=').last
signature = parts[1].split('v1=').last
secret = 'webhook secret'

# Reading the request body
request_body = request.body

# Create a signature using HMAC SHA256
expected_signature = OpenSSL::HMAC.hexdigest('SHA256', secret, timestamp + request_body)

# Compare the computed signature with the received signature
is_valid = expected_signature == signature
Python
import hmac
import hashlib

header = request.headers['X-Rootly-Signature']
parts = header.split(',')
timestamp = parts[0].split('t=')[1]
signature = parts[1].split('v1=')[1]
secret = "webhook secret"

# Reading the request body
request_body = request.data  # or request.body depending on the framework

# Create a signature using HMAC SHA256
expected_signature = hmac.new(
    key=secret.encode(), 
    msg=(timestamp + request_body).encode(), 
    digestmod=hashlib.sha256
).hexdigest()

# Compare the computed signature with the received signature
is_valid = expected_signature == signature
JS
const crypto = require('crypto');

// Assuming 'request' is an object representing the incoming request
const header = request.headers['x-rootly-signature'];
const parts = header.split(',');
const timestamp = parts[0].split('t=')[1];
const signature = parts[1].split('v1=')[1];
const secret = "webhook secret";

// Reading the request body
// Ensure that the request body is raw or a string
const request_body = request.body; 

// Create a HMAC SHA256 signature
const expectedSignature = crypto.createHmac('sha256', secret)
                                 .update(timestamp + request_body)
                                 .digest('hex');

// Compare the computed signature with the received signature
const isValid = expectedSignature === signature;
