ArcGIS Online Webhook "notificationStatus" reliability

coryeicher — Mon, 27 Jan 2025 20:35:39 GMT

Hi,

We are using AGOL webhooks and see an empty or incomplete list at this ArcGIS REST Administrator endpoint ...

Home> services > Project_Location (FeatureServer) > Web Hooks > myWebHookId > notificationStatus

... currently, nothing is appearing here (no invocations), even though I know the webhooks are firing because my custom webhook receiver is receiving the payloads. My receiver is returning an http response with a 202 code. Is that sufficient?

Does AGOL expect a specific response code? Is there also something specific required in the response payload? Is there a reason why the notificationStatus page is empty or missing entries? Is there a cache or expected delay perhaps?

In short, how reliable is notificationStatus to use for development and production monitoring? If it is supposed to be useful for this, what troubleshooting steps can I follow to track down why I'm not seeing any/all WH invocations?

Thanks,

-Cory

@coryeicher It appears that the notifications are for failures: Notification Status | ArcGIS REST APIs | ArcGIS Developers . If your webhooks are performing then it seems this is expected. For troubleshooting it would be nice if the notification status could be set to log successes and have a log size setting.

Hi Adam,

Thank you. Somehow I missed this in the doc.

No news is good news then on these messages ; )

Thanks again,
