Generic Webhook alerts

Send kwatch incident alerts to Generic Webhook. Use the interactive manager for installation and credential setup. This page explains the provider fields and shows a minimal configuration fragment.

Before you start, have these values ready:

• url — Webhook URL.

For a guided setup, use the Generic Webhook channel guide.

Credentials, tokens, keys, passwords, and webhook URLs must be mounted from a Kubernetes Secret. Use an exact ${file:/absolute/path} reference for every field marked Secret.

Configuration

Field	Type	Required	Secret	Validation	Default	Description
url	string	yes	yes	url	—	Webhook URL
headers	headers	no	no	—	—	Custom headers
basicAuth.username	string	no	no	—	—	Basic-auth username.
basicAuth.password	string	no	yes	—	—	Basic-auth password.
routes	json	no	no	json	—	Optional JSON route filters.
retry.maxAttempts	integer	no	no	integer	—	Optional maximum retry attempts.
retry.delay	string	no	no	—	—	Optional retry delay, for example 5s.

Minimal example

Add routes, retry, and fallback when you need delivery filtering or recovery. See the channels overview for guidance, or the complete provider reference for the catalog-wide view.
