Create an outgoing webhook to send logs to Sumo Logic triggered by Apono access request events
Sumo Logic is a cloud-native secure, centralized log analytics service that provides insights into logs through pre-built applications, identifying patterns to show outliers in the behaviors of applications and systems.
This guide shows you how to configure and test outbound webhooks for Sumo Logic.

Follow these steps to configure a webhook:
On the Webhooks page, click Add Webhook. The Add Webhook page appears.
Enter a unique, alphanumeric, user-friendly Name for identifying this webhook.
Click the Status toggle to Active.
From the Method dropdown menu, select POST.
For the webhook URL, enter the HTTP Source Address.
In the Body Template field, paste the collection JSON configuration for the webhook payload.
Click View event's payload schema to reveal the payload schema and available data fields. You can also refer to the Webhook Payload Schema Reference to read the descriptions of each data field.
For Headers, enter the following authorization headers: Authorization: Basic <Sumo Logic Access key>
From the Triggers dropdown menu, select one or more of the following event triggers, which correspond to Apono access request statuses:
Created
Approved
Rejected

Under Filters, define one or several filter from the listed dropdown menus.
Filters empower admins to control the data transmitted via webhooks, minimizing the amount of data third-party tools receive and reducing unnecessary clutter.
Examples:
Send only production requests to your admins' Slack channel.
Trigger Okta workflows for events from specific integrations or resource types.
Open a ticket in Jira or ServiceNow for manually approved requests.
Click Test to generate a test event to trigger your webhook. A Test successful or Test failed response status will appear at the bottom of the page. A successful test will send mock data to the target system.
For more information about the test, click View Invocation Data. A panel opens revealing the request, response, and other relevant details.
