Hi Team,

I have integrated Webhook to send alerts on Interlink and BigPanda. I am able to forward the alerts but whenever I am creating a new alert and passing payload body which contains one unique API key(API Keys from Interlink/BigPanda) so it is generating one API key in ELastic as well. If I am creating 100 alerts then it's generating 100 API Keys which is difficult to maintain.

If anyone encountered this kind of issue in his environment, please suggest the resolutions.

Kibana 7.7.1

Thanks in advance.

Best Regards,  
Shahid Raza
