Testing of Webhooks in Juniper Mist
Mist Webhooks
What’s a Webhook?
Reference: https://simonfredsted.com/1583
“The Webhook is the Web’s way to integrate completely different systems in semi-real time.”
There are many public and free services like Webhook.site are available to test Webhooks.
You need to generate an unique URL and use it to POST the updates to this URL.
In this post, let’s enable Webhooks in Juniper Mist Cloud and test!
First we need to Add a Webhook under Organization settings.
Use your unique URL, in this case we used https://webhook.site/82842d5e-82ea-4af9-9815-7383c418d7a3.
Select all available topics.
In Advanced settings , we have security settings and custom headers.
Once you save the Webhook configuration on Mist, it starts sending the HTTP POST messages to the URL configured.
The screenshot below shows that there are some 40 requests received so far from the 54.193.71.17 Host, which is the AWS IP used by Mist Cloud. All the requests are posted to the same URL https://webhook.site/#!/82842d5e-82ea-4af9-9815-7383c418d7a3/. Each request has a unit ID. In the screenshot, the ID is 6b3f881c-98dc-45d9-8787-7667d5db8697.
Here the complete URL.
https://webhook.site/#!/82842d5e-82ea-4af9-9815-7383c418d7a3/6b3f881c-98dc-45d9-8787-7667d5db8697/1
