# GitHub Audit Log Processing

As an alternative to the [Xygeni Sensor for GitHub](/xygeni-products/anomaly-detection/xygeni-sensors/xygeni-sensor-for-github.md) you can use [GitHub Webhooks](https://docs.github.com/en/webhooks-and-events/webhooks/webhook-events-and-payloads).

The sensor is a [GitHub App](https://docs.github.com/en/apps/using-github-apps/about-using-github-apps) that extends GitHub’s functionality. By defining a Webhook, GitHub will send a real-time webhook event to Xygeni for subscribed events.

In any of those approaches, when Xygeni detects an unusual activity, it will raise an alert for tracking the origin and taking immediate action to mitigate the risk and prevent further damage.

See [Webhook events](https://docs.github.com/en/webhooks-and-events/webhooks/webhook-events-and-payloads) for further information on the events and payloads sent from GitHub to Xygeni platform.

{% hint style="info" %}
The webhook URL is `https://api.xygeni.io/githubapp/webhook` for the Xygeni cloud platform. The webhook is secured with a shared secret and TLS, following the recommendations in [Securing your webhooks](https://docs.github.com/en/webhooks-and-events/webhooks/securing-your-webhooks).
