    • Checks are rules designed to detect anomalies within an instance, running against tables, records, or metadata.

    You can use four types of checks with the scanner tool to identify issues and implement security recommendations for your organization: table checks, column type checks, script-only checks, and linter checks.

    Table 1. Types of checks
    Check name Description
    Table checks Use this when you know the specific tables and checks you want to test.
    Column checks Use this to implement the rule you created to iterate all records matching the target column field type.
    Script checks Use this to verify meta data, configurations, and execute complex checks by writing your own checks.
    Linter checks Use this to identify any issues in a script. When a linter check is run on a record, an abstract syntax tree for its code is generated which can be used to analyze issues with the code.
