BigPanda
Integrations are available on Postman Team, Business, and Enterprise plans.
BigPanda is an IT systems management platform that aggregates and correlates IT alerts to create high-level IT incidents. It directs all alerts to a single place with different connected services.
Setting up a BigPanda integration requires you to get an API key and configure Postman monitors.
After you set up the integration, you can view real-time alerts based on the results of your Postman monitors.
Retrieving the BigPanda API key
- Log in to your BigPanda account and select "Integrations" in the header toolbar, then click the New Integration button.
-
Click "Alerts REST API" and then click the Integrate button.
-
To generate the App key, enter a name for the integration and click the Generate App Key button.
The generated App Key displays.
- Save the generated App key and the API key for use later.
