Real-Time Insight: Webhook Events as Logs Now Available in LogicMonitor
As highlighted in our recent v228 platform release notes, we’re excited to announce that Webhook Events as Logs is now generally available. This enhancement makes it easier than ever to bring external alerts and events directly into LogicMonitor—no Collector required. If you’re using a platform like Cisco Meraki, Rubrik Security Cloud, or CommScope Ruckus One, you can now configure those systems to send webhook alerts straight to your LogicMonitor portal. Why It Matters Traditional log collection methods (like syslog or scripted collection) rely on a Collector to process messages. With Webhook Events as Logs, external platforms securely deliver event data via HTTPS directly to LM Logs. This means: Faster insight: Events are ingested in real time, not on a polling interval. Simpler setup: No Collector configuration or maintenance needed. Flexible processing: Use LogSources to filter, enrich, and map webhook messages to LogicMonitor resources, and extract key fields for use in alert rules, messages, or queries. Getting Started To use Webhook Events as Logs, you’ll need: LM Logs enabled in your LogicMonitor account A platform that supports Bearer Token Authorization (either natively in its UI or via custom header configuration) Once configured, external systems can send events directly into LM Logs—triggered by real-world actions rather than scheduled polling. Real-World Examples Here are just a few examples of events that can now flow directly into LogicMonitor via webhooks: A camera detects motion A panic or lockdown button is pressed (e.g., Alyssa’s Law compliance) A wireless client joins or disconnects from a network A device becomes unreachable A backup job fails A virtual machine shuts down A configuration change occurs (e.g., in a Cisco Meraki network) Any webhook-capable system that can send a Bearer-authenticated POST request can now send event data to LogicMonitor. Verified Integrations We’ve validated this capability with: Cisco Meraki Rubrik Security Cloud CommScope Ruckus One …but the feature is built to work with any platform that supports webhook notifications.
