Monitor internal APIs with runners

Private API Monitoring is available with Postman Basic, Professional, and Enterprise plans. To enable Private API Monitoring in your Enterprise team, contact your Postman Customer Success Manager.

With Private API Monitoring, you can use runners to monitor and test your organization’s APIs from your internal network, without publicly exposing your endpoints. Create a runner in your Postman team, then use the Postman CLI to set up the runner in your internal network.

Once set up, the runner securely polls Postman for monitor runs from your internal network, following your organization’s internal routing and access controls. Monitors run in your runner in your internal network and the runner sends the test results to the Postman cloud.

Configure and start a runner

Create a runner to monitor and test your organization’s internal APIs. You can create a runner when you configure a monitor. With a Postman Enterprise plan, you can also create a runner from Runner settings.

Once you’ve created the runner, use the Postman CLI to set up the runner in your internal network. Then your teammates can select the runner when creating monitors. View monitor results in Postman to check the health and performance of your internal APIs.

Manage runners in your team

View and manage all of your team’s runners when you configure a monitor. You can view the commands for starting the runner with the Postman CLI, update your runners, delete runners you no longer need, and more. With a Postman Enterprise plan, you can also manage runners from Runner settings where you can view more details about your runners, like their health status.
