CloudStack Webhooks: is it possible to send alerts?

[KreVet-Ka]

Dear CloudStack Community,

I’m testing CloudStack webhooks and have set up my own webhook receiver. I can successfully receive Events, but I am not receiving Alerts.

I am specifically interested in Alert.compute.host and would like some clarification:
Is it possible to receive Alerts via CloudStack webhooks, or are webhooks limited to Events only?

I am trying to receive Alert.compute.host with the “Host down” status via webhook. My goal is to automatically put the host into maintenance mode if it goes down, and ensure it is healthy before returning it to active service. I am using VM HA, so when a host goes down, the virtual machines automatically migrate to other hosts.

If anyone has experience implementing something like this or knows of alternative solutions for automating this process, I would greatly appreciate it if you could share your experience.

I'm using:
Ubuntu 24.04.3
ACS 4.20.2

@KreVet-Ka no, currently it is not possible to receive alerts as a webook. Right now I can only say keep an eye on upcoming releases. Maybe some cron job using APIs

@shwstppr Thank you so much for your help.

@KreVet-Ka I looked a bit more in the code and it seems we are publishion alerts on other event buses (RabbitMQ, Kafka, etc) so for now you can also explore something with them if feasible
