Configuring an iMonnit Webhook
As a Premiere user, you can have Monnit push the sensor readings from iMonnit® to your database with our external configuration tool. This tool allows you to pass data from your wireless sensor network devices to another service in real time. This is done by coding the data into a URL query, then sending the data via HTTP get request at the time data is received. There is an extensive list of parameters that can be passed, allowing you to send detailed information about both the data and the sensor.
Note: Webhooks will be sent from the public IP address 64.78.195.12.
Setting up a Webhook
- Log into iMonnit.
- Select <>API in the main navigation menu.
- Select Data Webhook.
Select the Create button (if a Webhook has already been configured, the button will say “Configure”).
iMonnit - Create Webhook - Select Webhook for the Webhook Type.
- Enter the Base URL.
- Select the desired configuration for “Send gateway message” (Always is the default configuration).
- Enter Authentication configurations.
- Select Save.
Note that the tab that used to read “Create” now reads “Configure.” The new data push must be ended for the Create option to be displayed again.
Base URL: This is the location you want to send the DataPush.
Send gateway message: This is where you decide if you want ALL gateway messages sent to you or only messages that contain a message from your sensor.
Authentication: Choose “Basic” or “None” to add authentication to your webhook. Selecting “Basic” will ask for the username and password combination to grant access to the webhook.
Data Webhook tab
If you expose the “Data Webhook Information” reveal section, you can find information on Data Push, General Output Format, Gateway Parameters, and Sensor Parameters.
This section also displays the history of your data pushes. A Data Push sends data to your endpoint when data is received at the server. You can configure the destination and query parameters used to route the request. Data is compiled as a JSON body and sent via HTTP POST. There are four (4) endpoints available now. Webhook, Amazon AWS, Microsoft Azure IoT Hub, and IBM Watson. Only one (1) data push is allowed per account. If no data push has been configured, this page will be blank.
Webhook Health tab
The tab at the top labeled, “Webhook Health” covers data push settings that allow you to customize when and to whom emails are sent when your External Data Push fails multiple times in a row. You will only be notified once every 24 hours unless your data push failures exceed 100, in which case you will be notified of your data push being disabled.
