Using API Callbacks

  • RBLTracker Help

Rather than polling our system continuously for status of your hosts, RBLTracker will let YOU know when a hosts listing status changes.

Using a built-in API event notification feature from the Account -> API Callback page on the RBLTracker portal, RBLTracker can integrate with your existing monitoring systems, by triggering events against your system in real-time when a new listing is found, or when an existing listing is resolved.

add_callback

The RBLTracker system will make a simple HTTP POST request against a URL you define, passing all the information related to the event, including the host details, and listing status. Your system can use this information to integrate with your existing monitoring systems.

<?php
   print_r($_POST);
?>

Array
(
    [host] => 127.0.0.1
    [host_name] => Mail Server
    [status] => listed
    [rbl] => Array
        (
            [0] => Array
                (
                    [name] => ircbl.ahbl.org
                    [message] => Testing: This host is listed on this RBL
                )

            [1] => Array
                (
                    [name] => spamsources.fabel.dk
                    [message] => Testing: This host is listed on this RBL
                )

            [2] => Array
                (
                    [name] => list.anonwhois.net
                    [message] => Testing: This host is listed on this RBL
                )
        )
)

For example, integrate directly with Nagios by generating a SNMP Trap to Nagios, when an API event is triggered from RBLTracker.
