You can definitely do this. The most straighforward way would be to setup an alert with the search that you use for identifying the interesting events. As alert action, you then choose to run a script of your choosing. In this script you can do whatever you want with the search results - like for instance, taking the relevant parts of them and send it to a web service. More info on scripts as alert actions here: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/5.0.1/Alert/Setupalertactions#Run_a_script
