Running monitor on a folder instead of the whole collection

ThorAJ · October 2, 2019, 6:22am

When running newman and when running in the desktop app it is possible to specify which folder within the collection to run.

I cannot find how to set a Monitor to do the same. I.e. monitor a folder and not the whole collection.

Is this supported?

Hey @ThorAJ,

Welcome to the wonderful Postman Community

I don’t believe that there is currently an option to do this - There has recently been a feature request added to our GH Issue Tracker, asking for something like this to be implemented.

github.com/postmanlabs/postman-app-support

Monitor folders within a collection (similar to folder selection in Collection Runner)

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.** Collection runner within Postman allows you to select only a single folder to run. In Monitor, you have to run the entire collection and cannot select only a folder to monitor. **Describe the solution you'd like** Provide the ability to select a folder when creating a Monitor, similar to how Collection runner does. **Additional context** Logged by Postman on behalf of a user.

Feel free to jump over to that Issue and add your or even better, add a comment about your particular usecase so that the team know more about the context, around the way you use Monitors.
