Introduction

Overview

Monitoring any key business system is key to ensuring the optimal and smooth running of the business itself.Connecting many different systems is a fundamental need for order management systems, which are part of an enterprise architecture. If communication between these systems breaks down, this can cause costly impacts, such as delays in fulfilling customer orders, inaccurate data across systems, and more.The Fluent OMX Workflow Framework supports Webhooks, which are sent via a Rule in a Workflow and tracked within the Orchestration Audit Events.What if we could provide Support & Operations personnel with the observability of these Webhooks quickly inside a Fluent OMX web app?This article will guide you through configuring a Webhooks Dashboard inside the Fluent OMS web app.

Problem Statement & Scenario

Problem Statement

Webhooks are used to send information from Fluent products to external systems. These are implemented using the `SendWebhook` Rule from the Core Module in a Workflow.Every Webhook action produced is logged in the Orchestration Audit Events, accessible via the Events screen in the Fluent OMS web app or through the Event API.Webhooks are often an important part of an entity's lifecycle, and as such, it is important to monitor Webhooks sent by the Fluent Platform regularly to ensure that no issues occur and cause significant delays in fulfilling your customer's orders.While you could use Events screen in the Fluent OMS web app, or even add a new page using the default `fc.events.search` component with preconfigured filters, this doesn’t provide the most relevant information in the list specific to Webhooks.

Scenario

Ideally, we configure a new Webhooks Dashboard that displays only relevant Webhook information, making it quick and simple to see if everything is working as expected. No alt provided

Solution

Approach

Since Webhook audit information is available through the Event API, we need to be able to query the Webhook Orchestration Audit Events and present them on the screen.In a previous article, we implemented a handy custom component that can make REST API calls and provide the results to the data property of any child components.Let’s use this to configure a new Webhooks Dashboard.

Custom Component Dependency!

This article depends on the `devrel.provider.rest` custom component.To use this component, you have 2 options:

Install the Component SDK, download the full source code for the `devrel.provider.rest` component, run your local mystique server, and add the plugin url to your OMS Manifest file.
Have a developer build and host a custom bundle using the `devrel.provider.rest` component source code, and provide you with the hosted plugin url to add to your OMS Manifest file.

Important: You must have access to the `devrel.provider.rest` component to follow this guide.

Implementation Steps

Step 1: Add a new Page to the Insights section on Fluent OMS

Let’s use the existing Insights section in the Fluent OMS web app, and add a new page to build our Webhooks Dashboard.

Default Insights Fragment Override

If you haven’t already done so, you will need to override the default hosted Insights fragment in order to extend it. If you are not familiar with doing this, follow this guide.

Inside the `fc.manifest.fragment.oms.insights.json` file, add the following snippet to the `pages` array on the section route:

1{
2  "type": "page",
3  "path": "/devrel-webhooks-dashboard",
4  "nav": {
5    "label": "DevRel Webhooks Dashboard",
6    "icon": "MdEvent"
7  },
8  "component": "fc.page",
9  "props": {
10    "title": "DevRel Webhooks Dashboard - Updated on: {{dateStringFormatter (dateAdd)}}"
11  },
12  "descendants": [
13    {
14      "component": "fc.page.section.header",
15      "props": {
16        "title": "Webhooks - Last 24 Hours"
17      }
18    }
19  ]
20}

The snippet above defines a new page on path `devrel-webhooks-dashboard`, using the standard `fc.page` component.Additionally, it sets the `nav` details for display in the left navigation menu, sets the page title, and added a simple section header descendant (child component).

Step 2: Configure the `devrel.provider.rest` component to query for Webhook Audit Events

We’ll use a custom provider component to query the Event API for Webhook Action Audit Events.

Custom Component Dependency!

You will need to have access to a plugin containing the `devrel.provider.rest` component, or follow this guide to implement and host your own locally.Don’t forget to add the plugin to your main `fc.mystique.manifest.oms.json` manifest file!

Inside the `descendants` array of the `fc.page` component, beneath the section header, add the following snippet:

1{
2  "component": "devrel.provider.rest",
3  "props": {
4    "endpoint": "api/v4.1/event",
5    "props": {
6      "name": "Send Webhook",
7      "category": "ACTION",
8      "from": "{{dateStringFormatter (dateSubtract hours=24) 'YYYY-MM-DD[T]HH:mm:ss.SSS[Z]' true}}"
9    }
10  },
11  "descendants": [
12    /* Children */
13  ]
14}

In this snippet, we’ve configured the `devrel.provider.rest` component to call the Fluent Event API, and see the filter criteria via the `props` object.To retrieve the Audit events for Webhooks, we query the Event API for Events with a name of “Send Webhook”, and a category of “ACTION”. Additionally, we’ll query the last 24 hours by setting the `from` parameter to a relative timestamp from now.

Step 3: Add Child Components to display the Webhook information

Let’s start with something simple, and display a Dashboard Threshold tile to display the total number of Webhooks sent in the last 24 hours.

Default Query Page Size

The `devrel.provider.rest` component will only return the default page size from the Event API, which is 100 records.

Add the following snippet to the descendants of the `devrel.provider.rest` component declaration:

1{
2  "component": "fc.dashboard.threshold",
3  "props": {
4    "label": "Sent",
5    "value": "{{results.length}}"
6  }
7}

To display the count, we simply set the value to the results array length. No alt provided

Now, let’s make it more interesting, and add a list. Since we are displaying Webhook Action events only, we can configure this list to display the standard Webhook Event Attributes, which gives us access to details about the Webhook Request, Response, and any Exceptions that may have occurred.Here is an example of a Webhook Action Audit Event:

1{
2  "id": "80341b8d-66cc-4619-8e6f-dc458d5a4758",
3  "name": "Send Webhook",
4  "type": "ORCHESTRATION_AUDIT",
5  "accountId": "FCTRAINAU1251",
6  "retailerId": "1",
7  "category": "ACTION",
8  "context": {
9    "sourceEvents": [
10      "a5f02716-eb0f-11ee-946a-dbc474cefc67"
11    ],
12    "entityType": "ORDER",
13    "entityId": "980",
14    "entityRef": "HD_7323",
15    "rootEntityType": "ORDER",
16    "rootEntityId": "980",
17    "rootEntityRef": "HD_7323"
18  },
19  "eventStatus": "SUCCESS",
20  "attributes": [
21    {
22      "name": "Request Endpoint",
23      "value": "https://39e52e0a-eef8-4349-aafa-a9ec213c1d5a.mock.pstmn.io/OrderStatusUpdateNotification",

33      "value": "{ \"message\": \"Notify: I'm a Tea Pot\" }",
34      "type": "STRING"

39      "type": "STRING"
40    },
41    {
42      "name": "Response code",
43      "value": 418,
44      "type": "INTEGER"
45    },
46    {
47      "name": "Response reason",
48      "value": "I'm a Teapot",
49      "type": "STRING"
50    },
51    {
52      "name": "startTimer",
53      "value": 1711416305945,
54      "type": "STRING"
55    },
56    {
57      "name": "stopTimer",
58      "value": 1711416306667,
59      "type": "STRING"
60    }
61  ],
62  "source": "-626199502.FulfilmentAssigned",
63  "generatedBy": "Rubix User",
64  "generatedOn": "2024-03-26T01:25:06.667+00:00"
65}

There is lots of useful information here. As with any Orchestration Audit Event, we can see the Retailer Id, the Entity information, which tells use which specific entity the Webhook was for, the timestamp of when the event was generated, and the start and stop timer Event Attributes which tell us how long the Action ran for. We can use the latter 2 attributes to display the duration of time that the webhook request took to execute.We also see the Webhook specific Request and Response Event attributes. Let’s first add the basic context fields to a list:

1{
2  "component": "fc.list",
3  "props": {
4    "title": "Webhooks",
5    "dataSource": "results",
6    "responsiveness": "card",
7    "attributes": [
8      {
9        "label": "Timestamp",
10        "value": "{{dateStringFormatter generatedOn 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss.SSS' true}}"
11      },
12      {
13        "label": "Entity Info",
14        "value": "{{context.rootEntityType}}: {{context.rootEntityRef}} - {{context.entityType}}: {{context.entityRef}}"
15      },
16      {
17        "label": "Response Time",
18        "value": "{{subtract attributes.byName.stopTimer attributes.byName.startTimer}}ms"
19      },
20      {
21        "label": "Retailer Id",
22        "value": "{{retailerId}}"
23      }
24    ]
25  }
26}

Notice how we’re formatting the `generatedOn` field, including the milliseconds. This is helpful for debugging when there may be a number of simultaneously webhooks being sent within the same second.We’re printing the Root Entity and Entity information in a single column.Next, we’re using a Template helper function to calculated the Response Time, and finally, we’re displaying the Retailer Id, which is helpful for differentiating which Retailer context is being used in multi-retailer accounts.

Step 4: Add Webhook specific Attributes to the List

Now let’s add some of the Webhook specific attributes to display in the list. The most useful attributes to display in the list might be “Request Endpoint”, the “Response code”, and the “Response reason“. We can use the `byName` accessor to retrieve the attributes we want to display, but first a note about attribute naming. These Webhook Audit events are generated by the Workflow Engine, so we cannot change them. Each of the Webhook-specific Event Attributes have a space in the name, but the `byName` accessor does not support spaces!Thankfully, the Component SDK `decorateQueryResult` function handles this for us, by simply removing any characters that are not alpha-numeric or an underscore. This means that we can still access the specific attributes we want to use with the `byName` accessor by simply removing the spaces:

1// To access an attribute with a space in the name using the 'byName' accessor,
2// simply remove the space.
3
4// For example: For an attribute named 'Request Endpoint':
5
6{{attributes.byName.ResponseEndpoint}}

Note

The `byName` accessor is case-sensitive, so make sure to use the correct case when accessing attributes by name.

The `devrel.provider.rest` component has already handled calling the `decorateQueryResult` function, so all we need to do is add the columns we want to display to the list definition.Let’s add a column for the endpoint:

1{
2  "label": "Request Endpoint",
3  "value": "{{attributes.byName.RequestEndpoint}}"
4}

And then let’s put the Response code and reason in one column like this:

1{
2  "label": "Response Code - Reason",
3  "template": "{{attributes.byName.Responsecode}} - {{attributes.byName.Responsereason}}"
4}

The list component configuration should now look like this:

1{
2  "component": "fc.list",
3  "props": {
4    "title": "Webhooks",
5    "dataSource": "results",
6    "responsiveness": "card",
7    "attributes": [
8      {
9        "label": "Timestamp",
10        "value": "{{dateStringFormatter generatedOn 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss.SSS' true}}"
11      },
12      {
13        "label": "Entity Info",
14        "value": "{{context.rootEntityType}}: {{context.rootEntityRef}} - {{context.entityType}}: {{context.entityRef}}"
15      },
16      {
17        "label": "Request Endpoint",
18        "value": "{{attributes.byName.RequestEndpoint}}"
19      },
20      {
21        "label": "Response Code - Reason",
22        "template": "{{attributes.byName.Responsecode}} - {{attributes.byName.Responsereason}}"
23      },
24      {
25        "label": "Response Time",
26        "value": "{{subtract attributes.byName.stopTimer attributes.byName.startTimer}}ms"
27      },
28      {
29        "label": "Retailer Id",
30        "value": "{{retailerId}}"
31      }
32    ]
33  }
34}

Step 5: Add some Styles to the Response Code and Reason

Our list is now displaying some valuable information about the webhooks that have occurred in the last 24 hours. This is great… but we could make it even easier to identify problems by using some styling on the Response Code - Reason column.To do this, we can use the options object of the list attribute and use the styles array to set conditional styling based on the values of the Response code.Each style declaration can take a value and a matches property, which allows us to configure the conditions. Now instead of setting a style for each and every error response, we can make the default colour red, and just add a matches for the success response codes (200, 202, and 204).

1"options": {
2  "styles": [
3    {
4      "value": "{{attributes.byName.Responsecode}}",
5      "matches": ["200", "202", "204"],
6      "icon": { "name": "MdCheckCircle", "colour": "success" },
7      "text": { "color": "success" }
8    },
9    {
10      "value": "{{attributes.byName.Responsecode}}",
11      "icon": { "name": "MdError", "colour": "error" },
12      "text": { "color": "error" }
13    }
14  ]
15}

Notice that we can use the standard Material Icons by prefixing with the “Md” and then the icon name. You can search Material Symbols and Icons available here. This makes it really easy to see the errors stand out at a glance: No alt provided

Step 6: Add a Webhook Details Drawer

When there are errors, it is useful to be able to see more information quickly. To handle this, let’s add a right drawer component to show more details from the Webhook Action event.The Component Library comes with a `fc.drawer.button` which can be added as a column to the list. We can then populate the drawer with any other components to display more details about the specific record.So to complete our Webhooks Dashboard page, let’s use 3 standard attribute cards to display the Request details, Response details, and Exception details in the drawer respectively.Add the following snippet as the last column in the Webhooks list:

1{
2  "label": "Webhook Details",
3  "type": "component",
4  "options": {
5    "component": "fc.drawer.button",
6    "props": {
7      "label": "Details",
8      "title": "Webhook Details",
9      "descendants": [
10        {
11          "component": "fc.card.attribute",
12          "props": {
13            "title": "Request Details",
14            "attributes": [
15              {
16                "label": "Request Endpoint",
17                "value": "{{attributes.byName.RequestEndpoint}}"
18              },
19              {
20                "label": "Request Headers",
21                "value": "{{attributes.byName.RequestHeaders}}"
22              },
23              {
24                "label": "Request Body",
25                "value": "{{attributes.byName.RequestBody}}"
26              }
27            ]
28          }
29        },
30        {
31          "component": "fc.card.attribute",
32          "props": {
33            "title": "Response Details",
34            "attributes": [
35              {
36                "label": "Response Code",
37                "value": "{{attributes.byName.Responsecode}}"
38              },
39              {
40                "label": "Response Reason",
41                "value": "{{attributes.byName.Responsereason}}"
42              },
43              {
44                "label": "Response Headers",
45                "value": "{{attributes.byName.ResponseHeaders}}"
46              },
47              {
48                "label": "Response Body",
49                "value": "{{attributes.byName.ResponseBody}}"
50              }
51            ]
52          }
53        },
54        {
55          "component": "fc.card.attribute",
56          "props": {
57            "title": "Exception Details",
58            "attributes": [
59              {
60                "label": "Exception",
61                "value": "{{attributes.byName.Exception}}"
62              },
63              {
64                "label": "Stacktrace",
65                "type": "component",
66                "options": {
67                  "component": "fc.attribute.json",
68                  "dataSource": "attributes.byName.Stacktrace"
69                }
70              }
71            ]
72          }
73        }
74      ]
75    }
76  }
77}

The Art of the Possible...

This tutorial will end here, but there are many more things you can do should you need to:

Split the Root Entity and Entity columns, and hyperlink them to enable quick access to the entity detail screen
You could hyperlink the Request Endpoint, but this is rarely useful, since most webhook endpoints should be configured to receive POST HTTP methods
You could also enhance the Webhooks page to support additional time ranges

Additionally, you can use this same technique to display webhooks information contextually to specific entities. For example, you may want to enable a Webhooks list on the Order details screen: No alt provided

Example of showing Webhook Audit information on the Order Details screen (Zoom Image)
You could follow this through to sub-entities too, such as fulfilments, articles, consignments, etc. Each time, you simply refine the query parameters to be passed to the Event API query in the `devrel.provider.rest` component, to narrow the search to a specific scope.

Conclusion

Wrapping up

In this article, you learned how to use the `devrel.provider.rest` component to configure a Webhooks Dashboard for monitoring Webhooks sent by your Fluent workflows.There are plenty of other useful things you can do with the `devrel.provider.rest` component, both by tailoring additional Event API queries, or by using data from any of the other Fluent Platform REST APIs.

A Webhooks Dashboard for monitoring Webhooks in Fluent OMS (Zoom Image)

Approach

Custom Component Dependency!

This article depends on the `devrel.provider.rest` custom component.To use this component, you have 2 options:

Install the Component SDK, download the full source code for the `devrel.provider.rest` component, run your local mystique server, and add the plugin url to your OMS Manifest file.
Have a developer build and host a custom bundle using the `devrel.provider.rest` component source code, and provide you with the hosted plugin url to add to your OMS Manifest file.

Important: You must have access to the `devrel.provider.rest` component to follow this guide.

Step 1: Add a new Page to the Insights section on Fluent OMS

Let’s use the existing Insights section in the Fluent OMS web app, and add a new page to build our Webhooks Dashboard.

If you haven’t already done so, you will need to override the default hosted Insights fragment in order to extend it. If you are not familiar with doing this, follow this guide.

Inside the `fc.manifest.fragment.oms.insights.json` file, add the following snippet to the `pages` array on the section route:

1{
2  "type": "page",
3  "path": "/devrel-webhooks-dashboard",
4  "nav": {
5    "label": "DevRel Webhooks Dashboard",
6    "icon": "MdEvent"
7  },
8  "component": "fc.page",
9  "props": {
10    "title": "DevRel Webhooks Dashboard - Updated on: {{dateStringFormatter (dateAdd)}}"
11  },
12  "descendants": [
13    {
14      "component": "fc.page.section.header",
15      "props": {
16        "title": "Webhooks - Last 24 Hours"
17      }
18    }
19  ]
20}

Step 2: Configure the `devrel.provider.rest` component to query for Webhook Audit Events

We’ll use a custom provider component to query the Event API for Webhook Action Audit Events.

Custom Component Dependency!

Inside the `descendants` array of the `fc.page` component, beneath the section header, add the following snippet:

1{
2  "component": "devrel.provider.rest",
3  "props": {
4    "endpoint": "api/v4.1/event",
5    "props": {
6      "name": "Send Webhook",
7      "category": "ACTION",
8      "from": "{{dateStringFormatter (dateSubtract hours=24) 'YYYY-MM-DD[T]HH:mm:ss.SSS[Z]' true}}"
9    }
10  },
11  "descendants": [
12    /* Children */
13  ]
14}

Step 3: Add Child Components to display the Webhook information

Let’s start with something simple, and display a Dashboard Threshold tile to display the total number of Webhooks sent in the last 24 hours.

Default Query Page Size

The `devrel.provider.rest` component will only return the default page size from the Event API, which is 100 records.

Add the following snippet to the descendants of the `devrel.provider.rest` component declaration:

1{
2  "component": "fc.dashboard.threshold",
3  "props": {
4    "label": "Sent",
5    "value": "{{results.length}}"
6  }
7}

To display the count, we simply set the value to the results array length. No alt provided

23      }
24    ]
25  }
26}

Step 4: Add Webhook specific Attributes to the List

1// To access an attribute with a space in the name using the 'byName' accessor,
2// simply remove the space.
3
4// For example: For an attribute named 'Request Endpoint':
5
6{{attributes.byName.ResponseEndpoint}}

Note

The `byName` accessor is case-sensitive, so make sure to use the correct case when accessing attributes by name.

1{
2  "label": "Request Endpoint",
3  "value": "{{attributes.byName.RequestEndpoint}}"
4}

And then let’s put the Response code and reason in one column like this:

1{
2  "label": "Response Code - Reason",
3  "template": "{{attributes.byName.Responsecode}} - {{attributes.byName.Responsereason}}"
4}

The list component configuration should now look like this:

1{
2  "component": "fc.list",
3  "props": {
4    "title": "Webhooks",
5    "dataSource": "results",
6    "responsiveness": "card",
7    "attributes": [
8      {
9        "label": "Timestamp",
10        "value": "{{dateStringFormatter generatedOn 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss.SSS' true}}"
11      },
12      {
13        "label": "Entity Info",
14        "value": "{{context.rootEntityType}}: {{context.rootEntityRef}} - {{context.entityType}}: {{context.entityRef}}"
15      },
16      {
17        "label": "Request Endpoint",
18        "value": "{{attributes.byName.RequestEndpoint}}"
19      },
20      {
21        "label": "Response Code - Reason",
22        "template": "{{attributes.byName.Responsecode}} - {{attributes.byName.Responsereason}}"
23      },
24      {
25        "label": "Response Time",
26        "value": "{{subtract attributes.byName.stopTimer attributes.byName.startTimer}}ms"
27      },
28      {
29        "label": "Retailer Id",
30        "value": "{{retailerId}}"
31      }
32    ]
33  }
34}

Step 5: Add some Styles to the Response Code and Reason

1"options": {
2  "styles": [
3    {
4      "value": "{{attributes.byName.Responsecode}}",
5      "matches": ["200", "202", "204"],
6      "icon": { "name": "MdCheckCircle", "colour": "success" },
7      "text": { "color": "success" }
8    },
9    {
10      "value": "{{attributes.byName.Responsecode}}",
11      "icon": { "name": "MdError", "colour": "error" },
12      "text": { "color": "error" }
13    }
14  ]
15}

Step 6: Add a Webhook Details Drawer

1{
2  "label": "Webhook Details",
3  "type": "component",
4  "options": {
5    "component": "fc.drawer.button",
6    "props": {

8      "title": "Webhook Details",
9      "descendants": [
10        {
11          "component": "fc.card.attribute",
12          "props": {
13            "title": "Request Details",
14            "attributes": [
15              {
16                "label": "Request Endpoint",
17                "value": "{{attributes.byName.RequestEndpoint}}"
18              },
19              {
20                "label": "Request Headers",
21                "value": "{{attributes.byName.RequestHeaders}}"
22              },
23              {
24                "label": "Request Body",
25                "value": "{{attributes.byName.RequestBody}}"
26              }
27            ]
28          }
29        },
30        {
31          "component": "fc.card.attribute",
32          "props": {
33            "title": "Response Details",
34            "attributes": [
35              {
36                "label": "Response Code",
37                "value": "{{attributes.byName.Responsecode}}"
38              },
39              {
40                "label": "Response Reason",
41                "value": "{{attributes.byName.Responsereason}}"
42              },
43              {
44                "label": "Response Headers",
45                "value": "{{attributes.byName.ResponseHeaders}}"
46              },
47              {
48                "label": "Response Body",
49                "value": "{{attributes.byName.ResponseBody}}"
50              }
51            ]
52          }
53        },
54        {
55          "component": "fc.card.attribute",
56          "props": {
57            "title": "Exception Details",
58            "attributes": [
59              {
60                "label": "Exception",
61                "value": "{{attributes.byName.Exception}}"
62              },
63              {
64                "label": "Stacktrace",
65                "type": "component",
66                "options": {
67                  "component": "fc.attribute.json",
68                  "dataSource": "attributes.byName.Stacktrace"
69                }
70              }
71            ]
72          }
73        }
74      ]
75    }
76  }
77}

The Art of the Possible...

This tutorial will end here, but there are many more things you can do should you need to:

Split the Root Entity and Entity columns, and hyperlink them to enable quick access to the entity detail screen
You could hyperlink the Request Endpoint, but this is rarely useful, since most webhook endpoints should be configured to receive POST HTTP methods
You could also enhance the Webhooks page to support additional time ranges
