Proxy Support

Since version 1.1.6, Better Webhooks supports sending all outgoing webhook requests through an HTTP or HTTPS proxy.

How to Configure

  1. Copy the $SPLUNK_HOME/etc/apps/BetterWebhooks/default/better_webhooks.conf to the local directory.

  2. Add or update the proxy setting under the [settings] stanza. For example:

    [settings]
proxy = http://proxy-server-ip:port

    Replace http://proxy-server-ip:port with the address and port of your proxy server.

  3. Save the file and restart Splunk.

Notes

  • If the proxy setting is left blank or omitted, requests will be sent directly, without using a proxy.

  • The proxy setting applies globally to all webhook requests made by the app.

  • Authentication for the proxy (if required) can be included in the URL, e.g. http://user:password@proxy-server:port.
