Postman Alert Rules: Granular Mute Not Supported
0 reputation · 13 May 2020, 03:07 UTC
Postman Monitoring Alert Configuration
The current alert framework allows users to define rules that trigger on status code, response time, or custom script errors. Once a rule is active, any failure that matches the criteria results in an immediate notification to the configured recipients.
While the UI offers a global mute toggle for a rule, this setting applies to every alert generated by that rule. There is no built‑in mechanism to silence only specific alert types or to schedule silences during maintenance windows. Moreover, the API does not expose any parameters for programmatic mute periods or per‑alert-type suppression.
These limitations create noise when multiple monitors or alert types are in use, especially during planned downtime.
Is there a way to define per‑alert‑type silence periods in the Postman UI or API? Can a maintenance window be scheduled so that only certain alerts are muted? Does Postman plan to add a feature for granular mute durations or automated silence windows?
