Integrate Postman with Splunk On-Call

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.

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.
