Troubleshooting webhooks

PingOne webhooks deliver real-time event notifications to your configured endpoints, enabling seamless integration with external SIEM systems. However, issues like missing events, delivery failures, or configuration errors can occur. Use the information in this section to understand and resolve common issues with webhooks.

Webhook events stop arriving after my service was down

If the webhook target is offline or unreachable, PingOne queues all matching events and continues to retry delivery.

  • The webhook service retries until a 200 OK response is received.

  • Events are published in batches of up to a maximum of 500 messages. PingOne doesn’t move on to the next batch until the current batch is acknowledged.

If the endpoint remains down for longer than 7 days, the oldest events begin to expire and are no longer delivered.

Events expire after 7 days.

You can find an overview of all logging and reporting capabilities in PingOne in PingOne Platform logging and reporting.

I’m not receiving all expected webhook events

A common reason for not receiving expected events is overly restrictive webhook filtering. When configuring a webhook, all filter conditions (such as Event Types, Tags, Applications, and Populations) are combined using AND logic. This means an event must match every filter to be sent to your endpoint.

One frequent issue involves the Populations filter. Many system-level or user-specific events aren’t associated with any population, so applying this filter might prevent those events from being delivered.

Start with the fewest filters possible and add more as needed. If you’re missing events, try removing some filters and test again.

I’m getting TLS or SSL errors when connecting

Webhooks require a secure connection to your endpoint. Delivery failures can occur if your server uses an expired, self-signed, or untrusted TLS/SSL certificate.

  • Recommended solution: Use a valid certificate issued by a trusted Certificate Authority (CA).

  • Workaround (for development use only): You can temporarily bypass this check by enabling the Allow TLS connection with untrusted certificates option.
