Hi,
I have created webhooks.config in meta/config branch.

[remote "git-lab"]
  url = https://my-webhooks.com
  maxTries = 3

I do not have a event value because I want everyevent posted.

And gerrit.config is 
[plugin "webhooks"]
  connectionTimeout = 3000
  socketTimeout = 2500
  maxTries = 300
  retryInterval = 2000
  threadPoolSize = 3

how to confirm a webhook is triggerd?
Is there any log info and where is it please.

Thank you.
BR.
sk.

And yes,  I can get my webhooks via REST-API in [1] .

Try to set the log level of com.googlesource.gerrit.plugins.webhooks to DEBUG and check the error_log:
  • list log levels using the "gerrit logging ls-level" ssh command [1]
  • and set them using the "gerrit logging set-level" ssh command [2]
  • or use the log-level plugin to configure log levels permanently [3]

Thank you.

But the logs showed some webhook is skipped as below

DEBUG com.googlesource.gerrit.plugins.webhooks.PostTask : No content. Webhook [http://127.0.0.1:29417] skipped.

how to fix this please？

It's very helpful and thank you Sir. 
I can get debug logs of webhooks now.

Yes sir and I have done that.
The webhooks is ok when doing a git push but failed in git tag.
I set event =  patchset-created.
But when pushing a tag , it came into "com.googlesource.gerrit.plugins.webhooks.PostTask : No content."

Any idea is appreciate.
BR.

Pushing a tag is not creating a patchset. In order to get notified for a pushed tag register for the ref-updated event.

Matthias,

Sorry for "reopening" this old issue, but I'm facing the same problem, but I'm sure it has nothing to do with the "solution" you provided to Sun.

The error and debug logs points to the very same issue:

```
[2025-02-19T23:38:02.306+01:00] [webhooks-3[java.util.concurrent.ScheduledThreadPoolExecutor$ScheduledFutureTask@3360c17d[Not completed, task = java.util.concurrent.Executors$RunnableAdapter@54f3885a[Wrapped task = com.google.gerrit.server.logging.LoggingContextAwareRunnable@463b0b28]]]] ERROR com.googlesource.gerrit.plugins.webhooks.PostTask : Failed to post: Processing event: patchset-created for project: my/project for remote: http://example.com/webhook

Webhook [http://example.com/webhook] skipped. [CONTEXT PLUGIN="gerrit" PLUGIN="high-availability" PLUGIN="webhooks" project="my/project" ]
```

Note I redacted the project name and the webhook target address. However, this very same configuration was working fine up to some months ago. I'm trying to understand why it stopped working.

According to the source code of the webhooks plugin (I'm running Gerrit 3.4.8), this issue is thrown before the request is made to my server:

https://gerrit.googlesource.com/plugins/webhooks/+/f26cfcedc3cc9cc5bfdbd530abfb4d85314c1c21/src/main/java/com/googlesource/gerrit/plugins/webhooks/PostTask.java#76

Apparently, some internal object isn't being set for whatever reason.

I would really appreciate if you have any insight on what may be happening, I'm clueless. :(

The "No content. Webhook ... skipped" message is logged when, based on your webhooks.config, you don't want to post that event type.
Check your etc/webhooks.config and look for remote.NAME.event settings. This is documented in the plugins documentation [1]

Thank you, Saša Živkov.

I will double check my configuration, I don't think it's wrong, but you gave good clues to continue my investigation.

Have a great day!
