Webhook for alerts

Post by charle♪ »

Would it be possible to send alerts via webhooks?

NET SEND has been deprecated since vista and SNMP mails with entra require MFA or a registered app which isn't supported. A webhook would be way easier to configure.

Passing the text report as a parameter for the external application would also be a good way to allow us to support it on our side.

Thanks!

Thanks for your message and the tip!

Generally text report may not generated this way (unless you configure e-mail alert too), but generally when the "Run external application or batch file" option selected on Configuration -> Message settings, there are many environment variables set according the the alert.
Not sure, but these may help - as then you can have an external app / script which uses them.

Please check the end of this Help page:
https://www.hdsentinel.com/help/en/26_c_msg.html
which lists the available environment variables.


Also on www.hdsentinel.com, the Products -> Add-ons, extensions page has a page "Powershell examples":

https://www.hdsentinel.com/add-on-powershell.php

This page has an example

2. Use Pushover notification service for alerts triggered in Hard Disk Sentinel

which uses exactly the above mentioned environment variables to make custom alert.
This may also give ideas, thoughts - so based on this, I suspect you may make something similar ;)

Anyway, I suggest to please send an e-mail to info (at) hdsentinel (dot) com as then we can discuss further details/extensions for a future version.
