LocationId in synthetic monitoring execution endpoint

bryandavis — Wed, 22 Feb 2023 16:40:34 GMT

When retrieving the results of an HTTP Check I see request results for each location. The location is identified with a locationId, like below from "/synthetic/execution".

{ "monitorId": "HTTP_CHECK-ABB43CF5DB511A5D", "locationsExecutionResults": [ { "locationId": "88", "executionId": "26726351503", "requestResults": [ .... }, { "locationId": "124", "executionId": "26726351345", "requestResults": [ .... },

I would like to be able to tie that locationId value back to a named public/private location. There's no similar field value in "/synthetic/locations", or "/synthetic/locations/<location id>. Is there an easy way to tie that id to a location name/record?

That's true, the location ID does not matchs the one we get from /synthetic/locations/ API

One way to match it is checking the execution result from Synthetic monitor details page in UI

In my tenant, the locationId 16 is meant for Virgnia.

Thanks, I can build out a static list of locationid's from the UI and use that to tie the locationId from the API to a proper name.
