  • Updated

Use case

You want to trigger the Codefresh pipeline from a Datadog alert.

 

Solution:

1. Open the Webhook integration management page in Datadog:

From here you will first need to add a variable with your Codefresh user API key ( you can generate one here: User settings)

2. Next, click the 'New' button in the Webhook section and fill in the required fields:

  • Name - The Webhook name
  • URL - The Run Pipeline API endpoint, example:
https://g.codefresh.io/api/pipelines/run/<Project_Name>%2F<Pipeline_name>

       Note: the '/' symbol in the pipeline name should be URL-encoded as '%2F'

  • Payload - The parameters and options, for example:
{
"branch": "main",
"variables": {"foo": "bar"},
"options": {
  "noCache": true,
  "noCfCache": true,
  "resetVolume": true,
  "enableNotifications": true
  }
}
The complete API call description is here: Codefresh-run
  • Custom headers - this will be used for Authentication. The headers in Datadog are accepted in JSON format only, for example:
{"Authorization": "$APIKEY"}

The APIKEY is a variable name containing the Codefresh API key you created earlier.

 

3. Click Save to create a Webhook.

 

Now you can refer to this Webhook by its name (@webhook-<WEBHOOK_NAME>) on Monitor\Alert creation page in Notify your Team section, for example here: https://app.datadoghq.com/monitors/create/metric
