Set Up Jfrog Webhook

JFrog webhooks enable real-time notifications and integrations with external systems when specific events occur in Artifactory (such as artifact uploads, deletions, or security alerts).

Prerequisites

• JFrog Artifactory Project admin access
• Target endpoint (e.g., a service, Slack, Teams, or CI/CD system) ready to receive POST requests

Steps to Create a Webhook

1. Log in to JFrog Artifactory

2. Navigate to Webhooks Configuration

   • In the JFrog UI, go to Admin > General > Webhooks.

3. Create a New Webhook

   • Click Create Webhook.
   • Enter a name and (optional) description.

4. Configure the Webhook Endpoint

   • Set the URL to your target endpoint (e.g., https://hooks.example.com/jfrog).
   • (Optional) Add custom HTTP headers (for authentication, etc.).

5. Select Events to Trigger the Webhook

   • Choose relevant events (e.g., Artifact Created, Deleted, Property Changed).
   • You can filter by repository, path, or event type.

6. Set Security Options

   • Use secret tokens or basic auth as needed for your endpoint.
   • Consider restricting IPs or using HTTPS for secure communication.

7. Test the Webhook

   • Use the Test button if available, or manually trigger an event to verify delivery.

8. Save the Webhook

   • Click Save to activate the webhook configuration.

Best Practices

• Use HTTPS endpoints for all webhooks.
• Validate incoming requests on your endpoint (e.g., check a secret header).
• Limit webhook triggers to only the events you need.
• Monitor webhook delivery status in the JFrog UI.

Troubleshooting

• Check the webhook delivery history in Artifactory for errors.
• Ensure your endpoint is reachable and responds with HTTP 2xx status.
• Review firewall and network ACLs if webhooks are not received.
