Webhook Logs Settings: Overview

Webhook Logs are a real-time tool to help you confirm which outgoing webhook requests Alloy has made to your webhook server. It is located within Settings, under Webhook Logs.

The Webhook Logs setting is available for all customers, even if no webhooks have been previously set up.

Log of Retry Attempts

If applicable, a webhook log will also contain a list of past attempted retries for that webhook. Alloy will attempt to send all webhooks with exponential backoff for 24 hours. Additional information on the retry logic is available at Retry Logic and Webhook Logs.

Search and Filtering

The Webhook Logs can be filtered by the data points available in the table. You can free type search for any webhooks Alloy has sent in the past six months or filter by any of the table columns, except for the Attempt column.

The search functionality also supports searching by anything contained within the webhook request payload. For example, you can use the search bar to search for an entity token.
