๐ง Webhook Notifications
Chihuaudit supports **webhook notifications** for real-time monitoring alerts. While optimized for Discord, it works with **any webhook-compatible service** (Slack, Microsoft Teams, Mattermost, custom endpoints, etc.).
*Color-coded alerts: ๐ข Green (healthy), ๐ก Yellow (warnings), ๐ด Red (critical)*
Setup
Configuration
Webhook Compatibility
**Discord** (native support):
- Rich embeds with color-coded alerts
- Custom avatar and username
- Timestamp and structured fields
**Slack** (works with minor format differences):
- Use discord_webhook field with your Slack webhook URL
- Embeds translate to Slack attachments
- Colors and formatting preserved
**Other services**:
- Any service accepting JSON POST with embeds field
- Microsoft Teams incoming webhooks
- Mattermost webhooks
- Custom webhook handlers
Alert Thresholds
**CPU Load**: Trigger when load average exceeds threshold
**Memory Usage**: Alert on RAM usage percentage
**Disk Space**: Warning when disk usage crosses limit
**Ignore List**: Skip notifications for frequently changing metrics
Monitoring Mode
Changes are detected and only significant events trigger notifications, reducing alert fatigue.
