Alert webhooks let you forward Charley security events to any HTTP endpoint — your SIEM, PagerDuty, a custom Lambda, or anything else that accepts a POST request.

Adding a Webhook

  1. Go to SettingsAlert Webhooks.
  2. Click Add Endpoint.
  3. Enter the destination URL.
  4. Optionally add a description.
  5. Click Save.
Charley will immediately send a test ping to verify the endpoint is reachable.

Payload Format

Charley sends an HTTP POST with a JSON body:

Event Types

Retries

If your endpoint returns a non-2xx response, Charley retries the delivery up to 3 times with exponential backoff (1 min, 5 min, 15 min). Failed deliveries appear in the webhook log accessible from the endpoint detail view.

Securing Your Endpoint

Charley does not currently sign webhook payloads with a secret. To secure your endpoint:
  • Restrict it to Charley’s IP ranges (contact support for the current list)
  • Place it behind an API gateway with key authentication

Deleting a Webhook

Go to SettingsAlert Webhooks, click the action menu on the endpoint, and select Delete. Charley stops sending events to that URL immediately.
