Learn how to set up a Postman Monitor that runs a collection on a schedule, alerts on failures, and gives you ongoing visibility into API health without extra infrastructure.
An architecture note for running Postman Monitors in production: the smallest viable design, secret-handling boundaries, operational checks, and the failure modes that should each trigger a distinct alert.
Postman Monitors are utilized to track API health by executing scheduled requests and recording response bodies and status codes. This functionality is critical for diagnosing deployment failures by correlating API outages with CI/CD pipeline events. While the Monitor UI provides a high-level status for each run, there is a lack of granular, per-request time
