Publish Events to Webhook
MinIO supports publishing bucket notification events to a Webhook service endpoint.
Add a Webhook Endpoint to a MinIO Deployment
The following procedure adds a new Webhook service endpoint for supporting bucket notifications in a MinIO deployment.
Prerequisites
MinIO mc
Command Line Tool
This procedure uses the mc
command line tool for certain actions.
See the mc
Quickstart for installation instructions.
1) Add the Webhook Endpoint to MinIO
You can configure a new Webhook service endpoint using either environment variables or by setting runtime configuration settings.
MinIO supports specifying the Webhook service endpoint and associated
configuration settings using
environment variables. The
minio server
process applies the specified settings on its
next startup.
The following example code sets all environment variables
related to configuring an Webhook service endpoint. The minimum
required variables are
MINIO_NOTIFY_WEBHOOK_ENABLE
and
MINIO_NOTIFY_WEBHOOK_ENDPOINT
:
set MINIO_NOTIFY_WEBHOOK_ENABLE_<IDENTIFIER>="on"
set MINIO_NOTIFY_WEBHOOK_ENDPOINT_<IDENTIFIER>="ENDPOINT"
set MINIO_NOTIFY_WEBHOOK_AUTH_TOKEN_<IDENTIFIER>="<string>"
set MINIO_NOTIFY_WEBHOOK_QUEUE_DIR_<IDENTIFIER>="<string>"
set MINIO_NOTIFY_WEBHOOK_QUEUE_LIMIT_<IDENTIFIER>="<string>"
set MINIO_NOTIFY_WEBHOOK_CLIENT_CERT_<IDENTIFIER>="<string>"
set MINIO_NOTIFY_WEBHOOK_CLIENT_KEY_<IDENTIFIER>="<string>"
set MINIO_NOTIFY_WEBHOOK_COMMENT_<IDENTIFIER>="<string>"
Replace
<IDENTIFIER>
with a unique descriptive string for the Webhook service endpoint. Use the same<IDENTIFIER>
value for all environment variables related to the new target service endpoint. The following examples assume an identifier ofPRIMARY
.If the specified
<IDENTIFIER>
matches an existing Webhook service endpoint on the MinIO deployment, the new settings override any existing settings for that endpoint. Usemc admin config get notify_webhook
to review the currently configured Webhook endpoints on the MinIO deployment.Replace
<ENDPOINT>
with the URL of the Webhook service endpoint. For example:https://webhook.example.com
See Webhook Service for Bucket Notifications for complete documentation on each environment variable.
MinIO supports adding or updating Webhook endpoints on a running
minio server
process using the mc admin config set
command
and the notify_webhook
configuration key. You must restart the
minio server
process to apply any new or updated configuration
settings.
The following example code sets all settings related to configuring an
Webhook service endpoint. The minimum required setting is
notify_webhook endpoint
:
mc admin config set ALIAS/ notify_webhook:IDENTIFIER \
endpoint="<ENDPOINT>" \
auth_token="<string>" \
queue_dir="<string>" \
queue_limit="<string>" \
client_cert="<string>" \
client_key="<string>" \
comment="<string>"
Replace
IDENTIFIER
with a unique descriptive string for the Webhook service endpoint. The following examples in this procedure assume an identifier ofPRIMARY
.If the specified
IDENTIFIER
matches an existing Webhook service endpoint on the MinIO deployment, the new settings override any existing settings for that endpoint. Usemc admin config get notify_webhook
to review the currently configured Webhook endpoints on the MinIO deployment.Replace
ENDPOINT
with the URL of the Webhook service endpoint. For example:https://webhook.example.com
See Webhook Bucket Notification Configuration Settings for complete documentation on each setting.
2) Restart the MinIO Deployment
You must restart the MinIO deployment to apply the configuration changes.
Use the mc admin service restart
command to restart the deployment.
mc admin service restart ALIAS
Replace ALIAS
with the alias of the deployment to
restart.
The minio server
process prints a line on startup for each configured
Webhook target similar to the following:
SQS ARNs: arn:minio:sqs::primary:webhook
You must specify the ARN resource when configuring bucket notifications with the associated Webhook deployment as a target.
Identifying the ARN for your bucket notifications
You defined the <IDENTIFIER>
to assign to the target ARN for your bucket notifications when creating the endpoint previously.
The steps below return the ARNs configured on the deployment.
Identify the ARN created previously by looking for the <IDENTIFIER>
you specified.
Review the JSON output
Copy and run the following command, replacing
ALIAS
with the alias of the deployment.mc admin info --json ALIAS
In the JSON output, look for the key
info.sqsARN
.The ARN you need is the value of that key that matches the
<IDENTIFIER>
you specified.For example,
arn:minio:sqs::primary:webhook
.
Use jq to parse the JSON for the value
Copy and run the following command, replacing
ALIAS
with the alias of the deployment.mc admin info --json ALIAS | jq .info.sqsARN
This returns the ARN to use for notifications, such as
arn:minio:sqs::primary:webhook
3) Configure Bucket Notifications using the Webhook Endpoint as a Target
Use the mc event add
command to add a new bucket notification
event with the configured Webhook service as a target:
mc event add ALIAS/BUCKET arn:minio:sqs::primary:webhook \
--event EVENTS
Replace
ALIAS
with the alias of a MinIO deployment.Replace
BUCKET
with the name of the bucket in which to configure the event.Replace
EVENTS
with a comma-separated list of events for which MinIO triggers notifications.
Use mc event ls
to view all configured bucket events for
a given notification target:
mc event ls ALIAS/BUCKET arn:minio:sqs::primary:webhook
4) Validate the Configured Events
Perform an action on the bucket for which you configured the new event and
check the Webhook service for the notification data. The action required
depends on which events
were specified
when configuring the bucket notification.
For example, if the bucket notification configuration includes the
s3:ObjectCreated:Put
event, you can use the
mc cp
command to create a new object in the bucket and trigger
a notification.
mc cp ~/data/new-object.txt ALIAS/BUCKET
Update an Webhook Endpoint in a MinIO Deployment
The following procedure updates an existing Webhook service endpoint for supporting bucket notifications in a MinIO deployment.
Prerequisites
MinIO mc
Command Line Tool
This procedure uses the mc
command line tool for certain actions.
See the mc
Quickstart for installation instructions.
1) List Configured Webhook Endpoints In The Deployment
Use the mc admin config get
command to list the currently
configured Webhook service endpoints in the deployment:
mc admin config get ALIAS/ notify_webhook
Replace ALIAS
with the alias of the MinIO deployment.
The command output resembles the following:
notify_webhook:primary endpoint="https://webhook.example.com" auth_token="" queue_limit="0" queue_dir="" client_cert="" client_key=""
notify_webhook:secondary endpoint="https://webhook.example.com" auth_token="" queue_limit="0" queue_dir="" client_cert="" client_key=""
The notify_webhook
key is the top-level configuration key for an
Webhook Service Notification Settings. The
endpoint
key specifies the Webhook service
endpoint for the given notify_webhook key. The notify_webhook:<IDENTIFIER>
suffix describes the unique identifier for that Webhook service endpoint.
Note the identifier for the Webhook service endpoint you want to update for the next step.
2) Update the Webhook Endpoint
Use the mc admin config set
command to set the new configuration
for the Webhook service endpoint:
mc admin config set ALIAS/ notify_webhook:IDENTIFIER \
endpoint="<ENDPOINT>" \
auth_token="<string>" \
queue_dir="<string>" \
queue_limit="<string>" \
client_cert="<string>" \
client_key="<string>" \
comment="<string>"
The notify_webhook endpoint
configuration
setting is the minimum required for an Webhook service endpoint. All other
configuration settings are optional. See
Webhook Service Notification Settings for a complete list of
Webhook configuration settings.
3) Restart the MinIO Deployment
You must restart the MinIO deployment to apply the configuration changes.
Use the mc admin service restart
command to restart the deployment.
mc admin service restart ALIAS
Replace ALIAS
with the alias of the deployment to
restart.
The minio server
process prints a line on startup for each configured Webhook
target similar to the following:
SQS ARNs: arn:minio:sqs::primary:webhook
4) Validate the Changes
Perform an action on a bucket which has an event configuration using the updated
Webhook service endpoint and check the Webhook service for the notification
data. The action required depends on which events
were specified when configuring the bucket notification.
For example, if the bucket notification configuration includes the
s3:ObjectCreated:Put
event, you can use the
mc cp
command to create a new object in the bucket and trigger
a notification.
mc cp ~/data/new-object.txt ALIAS/BUCKET
