To get started with Postman Insights, install the Postman Insights Agent and allow it to watch your API traffic. Within minutes, the AI algorithms discover your endpoints, and you’ll be able to monitor errors across your endpoints.
Before installing the Insights Agent, create an internal workspace that only you and your team can access, and ensure you have Workspace Admin access. Insights isn’t supported by partner or public workspaces.
Next, you’ll enable Insights for your workspace, create a new Insights project, and select your container environment.
