How to get log and track a work of JIRA Webhooks

[Aleksandr Karev]

Hi!

How to get log and track a work of JIRA Webhooks? Is there any way to get the log?
I set up webhooks and made settings in how given here https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-collect-data-for-atlassian-support-for-troubleshooting-jira-webhooks-397083035.html but I don't see any notes in atlassian-jira.log and any other log-file and on https://requestb.in site

Could somebody help me to figure out it?

Hey @Aleksandr Karev

Have you taken a look at this documentation? 

https://developer.atlassian.com/server/jira/platform/webhooks/

You are absolutely right!
I checked and found lines in atlassian-jira.log files.

Thank you for reply!

Hmm... there is a thing... I catch an error 422.

What does it mean? Where I can it find out?

...I try to create a branch(with name of JIRA issue key) on GitLab server located in the local network using a webhook.

I think it's because of authentification problem. For example "private_token=" expression but without it I see the same error ...

I can't find what is this error 422 mean? =(

[Aleksandr Karev]

I figured it out.
I just learn how REST API works. That’s why I thought the expression in curl and webhook is different. Actually it the same.

I used wrong URL in webhook: http://<address:port>/developers/gitlab-project...
I should use: http://<address:port>/api/v4/projects...

Hey @Aleksandr Karev

Sorry for the late reply! I'm glad you got it working! 

Have a great week!

I am looking for logging mechanism for webhook to understand that it failed or successfully sent the data to the receivers end. Is there any article to follow? Can we get alert generated in Jira itself in case of webhook failure?
