Components installed with API Insights
Several types of components are installed with activation of the API Insights plugin, including tables, user roles, and scheduled jobs.
Roles installed
| Role title \[name\] | Description | Contains roles |
|---|
| Enterprise architect administrator \[sn\_api\_insights\_ws.api\_mgmt\_architect\_admin\] | Accesses the API Insights workspace to search APIs, review data model recommendations, monitors API connections, evaluate metrics on API usage, and set parameters for data model recommendations and de-duplication tasks. | sn\_api\_insights\_ws.api\_mgmt\_architect |
| Enterprise architect \[sn\_api\_insights\_ws.api\_mgmt\_architect\] | Accesses the API Insights workspace to search APIs, monitor team APIs, view managed and subscribed APIs, track API activity, review API access requests, and manage API life cycle aspects, including APIs without business context, ownership, product models, or designs. | - task\_editor - sn\_incident\_read - sn\_vul.vulnerability\_read - sn\_cmdb\_editor - sn\_msi.msi\_incident\_read |
Scheduled jobs installed
| Scheduled job | Description |
|---|
| Gather APIs without Business App relationship | Identifies and collects APIs that do not have an associated business context also called as business application. |
| Import ServiceNow API to API Insights | Retrieves ServiceNow APIs from the ServiceNow registry and imports them into API Insights. |
| Import ServiceNow API usage to MetricBase | Collects ServiceNow API usage data and pushes it to the MetricBase application. |
| SyncOwnershipGroupsOfAPIVersions | Synchronizes ownership groups for API versions in API Insights. |
| API Specification Validation | Performs automated validation of API specifications in an instance. |
| Tag based relationship mapping | Applies tag-based mapping rules between APIs and application services or business applications. |
Tables installed
| Table | Description |
|---|
| APIs missing relationships \[sn\_api\_insights\_ws\_apis\_missing\_relationships\] | API records that lack a defined relationship. |
| API Specification \[sn\_api\_insights\_ws\_api\_specification\] | API specification details, such as OpenAPI definitions. |
| Importable ServiceNow APIs \[sn\_api\_insights\_ws\_importable\_servicenow\_api\] | Details of APIs imported from ServiceNow. |
| Open API Specifications \[sn\_api\_insights\_ws\_openapi\_specifications\] | OpenAPI specification records for API Insights. |
| Push API Specification \[sn\_api\_insights\_ws\_push\_api\_spec\] | Records for pushing API specifications. |
| API Requests Access Task \[sn\_api\_insights\_ws\_request\_access\_task\] | Tasks related to API access requests. |
| Specification Validation Rule \[sn\_api\_insights\_ws\_spec\_validation\_rule\] | Validation rules that validate API specifications based on the configured rules. |
| API Metric Configuration \[sn\_api\_insights\_ws\_api\_metric\_config\] | Configuration that maps each discovery source to the MetricBase application used for analytics, defining the metric name, whether it applies at API or component level, and the metric type \(usage, error rate, latency, cache hit\). |
| Tag Based Relationship Mapping\[sn\_api\_insights\_ws\_tag\_relationship\_mapping\] | Relationship rules that apply tag-based mapping between APIs and application services or business applications, defining the CI types involved, the relationship type, and which CI acts as the parent. |
Plugins installed
