Agent Check: Postman

Overview

Postman is an API platform that simplifies the steps of building an API and streamlines collaboration so you can create better APIs-faster.

This integration helps you stay on top of your monitors' health. It enables you to:

• Analyze the metrics of Postman Monitoring runs in Datadog

• Generate events for successful and failed monitoring runs.

Setup

You can find detailed instructions in Postman's documentation. Postman Integrations require a Postman Team, Business, or Enterprise plan.

Configuration

1. Generate a Datadog API key.
2. Sign in to your Postman account and navigate to the Datadog integration.
3. Select "Add Integration."
4. To send your monitor metrics and events to Datadog:
   • Name your new integration.
   • Select the monitor whose data you would like to send to Datadog.
   • Enter your Datadog API key.
   • Select the Datadog region you would like to use.
   • Optionally choose if you want to send events, metrics or both for each run.

Service Checks

Postman does not include any service checks.

Events

An event is generated each time a monitor runs in Postman. The severity of the event is based on the tests in the Postman monitor:

Severity	Description
Low	If all the tests pass
Normal	If some tests fail, or an error occurs in the execution of any event.
