Web service integration for filter policy
Brent Hildick
Update filter policy to allow a user to specify a web service url. The url will be called when a block or threat is logged. The call will be a POST to the url which included information such as time, deployment, fqdn, category. This will allow the user to create customized reporting or alerting based on real time threat data.

Brent Hildick: Do you use brightgauge by chance? We are in the early stages of looking into an integration with them that would provide this type of functionality.

API not sufficient? https://apidocs.dnsfilter.com/

Isaac Good: Didn't realize that the API existed. That would give me the opportunity to periodically pull reports but I was hoping to create a response to an event (blocked page) in real time. Recognizing that how I may want to respond to these events is a pretty customized thing I was hoping that if I had a public API that DNSFilter could trigger it would allow me to develop my own event handlers. All I would need to do is tell DNSFilter the address of my API.
