#Postman API monitors now auto-retrieve and display collection variables

When you import a Postman collection that uses variables like {{VariableName}} in requests, scripts, or environments, the Postman API monitor now automatically detects and displays these variables as pre-defined monitor variables. You can easily populate their values either through plain text or using the Vault. This is helpful when authenticating with APIs that require a username, password, or secret key.

This behavior also works similarly to Multi-step API variables.

You can now aggregate the list by resolution period to show average step durations by month, day, or hour. This option is similar to other dashboard tiles, such as the Simple data chart.
