# Monitors | API Monitoring | Postman API Platform

> Postman monitors enable you to continuously check the health and performance of your APIs.

## Monitors

Identify and fix API issues before your users ever see them.

[Read Docs](https://learning.postman.com/docs/monitoring-your-api/intro-monitors/)

---

## Catch API health and performance issues early

### Always-on visibility

See how your APIs perform across environments, including uptime, latency, and reliability.

### Multi-region coverage

Run monitors from multiple global regions to catch latency and availability issues specific to where your users are.

### No infrastructure to manage

Monitors run in the Postman Cloud. Get all the performance and health information you need without having to provision or manage servers.

---

## Identify, triage, and resolve issues with AI

Postman AI reviews failed monitor runs, identifies the root cause, and recommends a fix so your team resolves incidents faster without having to dig through logs.

*CAPABILITIES*

### Keep your APIs and services healthy at all times

Monitors run your collections on a schedule from global regions so your team catches failures and performance issues automatically.

### Run collections on a schedule

Set a frequency and pick an environment. Postman runs the exact same collection with the same scripts and assertions.

### Validate APIs in real time at deploy with the Postman CLI

Leverage on-demand monitor runs to trigger existing monitors during deployment via the CLI, so you can catch regressions earlier and ship more confidently.

### Get alerted the moment something breaks

Connect monitors to tools you use, including Slack, Teams, email, PagerDuty, and custom webhooks. When a test fails, your team gets the full context of what went wrong without needing to open Postman.

### Performance trends

Track response times and error rates over time to catch regressions before they become incidents.

### Real test assertions

Monitors run your pre-request and test scripts so you get real validation, not just uptime pings.

### Multiple environments

Point monitors to track health and performance in dev, staging, or production by simply swapping environments.

> One of the things we love most about Postman is the Postman Monitor tooling with rich functionality out of the box. You can follow a simple tutorial and have a monitor up and running in five minutes.

## Broken collaboration leads to broken APIs.

Ninety-three percent of API teams still face collaboration blockers. The 2025 State of the API report reveals how you can unlock the productivity gains that API-first promises, but scattered tooling prevents.
