    Tables installed

    Table Description

    Check

    [sn_sow_synthetics_check]

    		 Configuration information for synthetic checks.

    Check Execution Location

    [sn__sow_synthetics_check_execution_location]

    		 Execution location configuration for synthetic checks.

    Single API

    [sn_sow_synthetics_check_single_api]

    		 Additional configuration information and last run results for single API synthetic checks.

    Single API Header

    [sn_sow_synthetics_check_single_api_header]

    		 Key value pairs of requests headers for single API synthetic checks.

    Single API to Policy

    [sn_sow_synthetics_check_single_api_policy]

    		 Single API synthetic test data and its corresponding Agent Client Collector (ACC) policies.

    Single API Result

    [sn_sow_synthetics_check_single_api_result]

    		 Results from each synthetic check run.

    sn_sow_synthetics_recommendation_state

    		 Per-endpoint creation state, idempotency_key, error tracking

    sn_sow_synthetics_recommendation_telemetry

    		 Aggregate workflow metrics: card_shown, endpoints_discovered, monitors_created, workflow_status

    Synthetic Private Locations

    [sn_sow_synthetics_private_location]

    		 Definitions of the ACC Agent Proxy Clusters available for synthetic monitoring. Extends the Proxy Agent Cluster [sn_agent_cluster] table.

    sn_sow_synthetics_bulk_job

    		 Provides async bulk job tracking.

    sn_sow_synthetics_location

    		 Stores the top-level execution locations used to run synthetic monitors. Each location represents a network vantage point and can be one of the following:
    • Hosted
    • Mid Server
    • ACC location

    sn_sow_synthetics_mid_location

    		 Represents a logical grouping of one or more MID Servers that act as a named execution location for synthetic monitors. This record provides the name and description for a Mid Server-based location. The actual MID Server assignments are stored in `sn_sow_synthetics_mid_location_member`.

    sn_sow_synthetics_mid_location_member

    		 Stores the actual Mid Server assignments are saved in this table.

    sn_sow_synthetics_check_single_api_sysauto_script

    		 Extends the platform `sysauto_script` (Scheduled Script Execution) table to associate a scheduled background job with a specific Single API check. Each record represents the scheduled job responsible for periodically triggering a synthetic monitor run for its linked check. Records are automatically created, updated, and deleted by the application when a check's location or configuration changes.

    sn_sow_synthetics_check_alert

    		 A join table that links a synthetic check to an Event Management alert. When a synthetic monitor detects a failure, the platform creates a record here to track the relationship between the failing check and the alert it generated. Records are cascade-deleted when either the check or the alert is removed.

    sn_sow_synthetics_check_single_api_policy

    		 A joint table that maps a Single API check to its associated ACC agent policy. This relationship is used when a check runs via an ACC Proxy Cluster location and the policy governs what the ACC agent is authorized to execute. Records are cascade-deleted when the linked check is removed, and the application automatically manages this table when ACC-based checks are created or updated.

    sn_sow_synthetics_bulk_job_governance

    		 Defines governance metadata for rate limiting and auditing for bulk jobs.
