View as Markdown

Splunk On-Call (formerly VictorOps) is a real-time incident management platform that handles incidents as they occur and prepares for the next one.

This integration enables you to configure Postman Monitors to trigger incidents on Splunk On-Call whenever it fails.

Get the Splunk On-Call API key

  1. Sign in to your Splunk On-Call account and click the Integrations tab.
  2. On the Integrations page, search and select the REST Generic Integration.
  3. If the integration isn’t already enabled, click Enable Integration. When the integration is enabled, the page displays a URL containing the API Key.
  4. Copy the API Key and save it for later.

Route alerts to specific teams

If you are using teams in Splunk On-Call, you can route alerts to specific teams by pairing routing keys with escalation policies.

  1. Click the Settings tab, then click Routing Keys.
  2. Click Add Key.
  3. Enter the API key you copied from the Integrations page and select an escalation policy.

Configure Postman Monitors

  1. On the Home page, click Integrations.
  2. Search for and select Splunk On-Call.
  3. Click Add Integration and enter the following:
    • Nickname - A nickname for your integration.
    • Choose workspace - The workspace that contains your monitor.
    • Choose Monitor - Send this monitor’s results to Splunk On-Call.
    • API Key - The API key from the Splunk On-Call Integrations page.
  4. Click Advanced Options if you want to add a Splunk On-Call routing key. This enables you to direct incidents to a specific team, so they get notified about a particular failure.

    You can send the multiple monitors’ results to the same Splunk On-Call collection.

  5. Click Add Integration.
  6. Select the name of the integration you added to view the monitoring results.

You can view your configured integrations on the Integrations page. Configured integrations have a green dot in the upper right corner of the tile.

Incidents on Splunk On-Call

An incident on Splunk On-Call consists of basic information from a monitor that has failed, including the number of errors and failed tests. It also provides a direct link to the failing monitor. This integration automatically acknowledges a triggered incident if the next run succeeds.
