Instance scan checks

[Madhan007]

Hi Everyone,

I have to create Instance scan checks and schedule the checks everyday to check -
1. Flow executions throwing an error
2.import set records throwing an error
3.outbound http logs and expiring tokens

I know that i have to create a suite of checks and  schedule the suite. I am not exactly sure how.
If anyone has worked on custom Instance checks or if there are any articles related, will be very helpful.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Madhan007,

the instance scan checks for anomalies, if you want to see errors, that would be better to create a scheduled job or a dashboard checking either logs or for example transaction tables (user provisoning)...

What flow/table are we talking about?

Hey @GlideFather , Thanks for your reply.
I need to check  flow executions and import set records failed today, and oAuth tokens expiring this week.
the reason we went with Instance scan checks is that scan tasks referring to failed executions can be created and assigned

1) Flow Executions Throwing an Error you need a custom check querying sys_flow_context or sys_flow_execution_detail.

Table to Check

sys_flow_context → field state = ‘error’

2) Import Set Records Throwing an Error

Table to Check

sys_import_set_run or sys_import_set_log

3) Outbound HTTP Logs + Expiring Tokens

A. Check Outbound HTTP Errors

Table: sys_outbound_http_request

you need to create the check for this table: 

use this sample code, adapt it for each table

(function() {

    var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_flow_context');

    gr.addQuery('state', 'error');

    gr.query();

    if (gr.hasNext()) {

        gs.info('Flow execution errors detected: ' + gr.getRowCount());

        return false; // FAIL

    }

    return true; // PASS

})();

Once your checks are created:

1.Go to Instance Scan → Scan Jobs → New

2.Choose Tables/Script checks you created

3.Save the Scan Job

4.Go to Schedule related list → New

5.Set:

•Run = Daily

•Time = e.g., 02:00 AM

•Active = Yes

6.(Optional) Enable Notifications when scan fails.
