How to Check Webhooks Traffic - Self-Managed Repository Integrations

This article explains how to check the webhooks traffic for self-hosted Developer Integrations: GitHub Enterprise and GitLab Server. The webhook traffic needs to be checked if you are triggering scans but do not see anything logged in the controller log (no webhooks are intercepted). 

Finding Webhooks Traffic in GitHub Enterprise:

2. While logged into GitHub Enterprise navigate to Settings > Developer settings > GitHub Apps

3. Click “Edit” on the Mend for GitHub Enterprise app

4. Select the “Advanced” tab located in the left-hand side menu
