Docs feedback: Filtering outbound requests does not detail any logging nor error messages
This document https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/security/webhooks.html would be much, much better if:
- It told whether and where failures are logged
- It told whether and where successful connections (allowed) are logged
- It told the error messages that would be seen in GitLab UIs upon blocking. This is because it might be MUCH more informative than underlying network controls (e.g. Firewalls, cloud security groups). Which would guide customers to enable BOTH this filtering along with network based controls so that users who need to make a request for a new allowance have a fast path to root cause.
Docs for webhook logs do not appear to mention whether configured GitLab webhook filtering shows up with specific messages to indicate that filtering is the blocking reason: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/administration/logs/#web_hookslog
