Hi guys,
I'm about to start using the SDK to have an automated node import from a custom device manager we have.
For that purpose i'd like to get some feedback on the available scripting languages.
Would anyone recommend using one over another ?
Many thanks,
Luc Cousin
Anyone out in the REST API world create users via the API? I can see there is a Method "Create User" in Orion.Accounts. ANd I can find the URI for this method/verb but before I go down this rabbit hole wanted to see if anyone else is or has been doing this.
This will be NON-AD accounts and will need to restrict the accounts content based on Node level custom properties.
...when I'm relitively certain that the NodeIDs WILL conflict / possibly be duplicated ?
Any thoughts / help on this appreciated!
Hello there!
This is my very first post in this community, so please be patient with me.
We have the NPM up and running and try to add nodes using the SDK. With curl in a shell script adding the node and interfaces just works fine.
What I can't get to work is the node details to be polled. I add the node with an empty caption and either it stays empty or sometimes the IP gets filled in as the displayed name.
I add a couple of pollers (not quite sure which ones I need for Cisco routers, an 1812 for example) and send a PollNow to the newly created node using this code:
#
# Add Pollers for the newly added device.
#
CREATE_POLLER_URL="https://$ORION_SERVER:$PORT/SolarWinds/InformationService/v3/Json/Create/Orion.Pollers"
for POLLER in "N.Uptime.SNMP.Generic" "N.Details.SNMP.Generic" "N.Topology.Snmp.Layer3" "N.Status.ICMP.Native" "N.ResponseTime.ICMP.Native"
do
JSON_STRING="{\"NetObject\":\"N:$NODE_ID\", \"NetObjectType\":\"N\", \"NetObjectID\":\"$NODE_ID\", \"PollerType\":\"$POLLER\"}"
CMD="curl -s -S -k -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' $CREDENTIALS -d '$JSON_STRING' $CREATE_POLLER_URL"
POLLER_RESULT=`eval $CMD`
echo "Registered Poller $POLLER (Result: $POLLER_RESULT) for Node \"$NODE_ID\""
done
# Send PollNow to newly created node.
POLLNOW_URL="https://$ORION_SERVER:$PORT/SolarWinds/InformationService/v3/Json/Invoke/Orion.Nodes/PollNow"
CMD="curl -s -S -k -X POST -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d '[\"N:$NODE_ID\"]' $CREDENTIALS $POLLNOW_URL"
OUTPUT=`eval $CMD`
The response I get from the PollNow invoke above is "null". Am I doing it wrong somehow? Can somebody give any hints why the PollNow does not work?
Thanks for any help!

Orion SWQL or Solarwinds Query Language is a pseudo SQL type statements. If you know the basic structure of SQL, Select from join where order group by, you will easily pickup SWQL queries.
PURPOSE: This is an overly simplified guide for Keep the lights on SQL to Expert SQL users wanting to jump into Solarwinds Query Language as fast as possible.
Where is SWQL used?
Why should I use SWQL?
Solarwinds has designed SWQL to be future proofed for users and development.
Note: A lot of this information exists in multiple places, I am just combining the different points to help provide a better picture to start creating queries easily.
Common SQL Constructs Supported
SWQL supports the following constructs from SQL:
Example: Node.Caption Like 'AX3%'
Common SQL Constructs Not Supported
SWQL does not support the following common SQL constructs:
Note: You must use CRUD operations to create, read, update, or delete entities.
SWIS Examples:
Function Type | Function Name | SWQL Example | SWQL Result | Value Information |
Check Values | Min | SELECT min(SWISColumn) as ResultColumn FROM SWISTable |
| Minimum column value |
Check Values | Max | SELECT max(SWISColumn) as ResultColumn FROM SWISTable |
| Max value of column |
Check Values | Avg | SELECT avg(SWISColumn) as ResultColumn FROM SWISTable |
| Average of all values |
Check Values | Sum | SELECT sum(SWISColumn) as ResultColumn FROM SWISTable |
| Sum of all column values |
Check Values | Count | SELECT count(SWISColumn) as ResultColumn FROM SWISTable |
| Count of number of results |
Check Values | Abs | SELECT abs(-1) as ResultColumn FROM SWISTable | 1 | Absolute as in never negative |

Happy Scripting
Question.. Why is the Views Menu missing from my Webconsole, but if I remote to server and launch the Webconsole it is there?
Any advise is greatly appreciated
I was wondering if someone can point me in the right direction on how to enable QoE management of a node via the SDK REST.
Basically I have a list of nodes that I want to enable it for. I am familiar with listing interfaces, adding interfaces, update/adding pollers but I haven't figured this part out.
Thanks,
Will Lipford
I am trying to use PowerShell to automate adding nodes. I can't not get the volumes to be monitored. I can add them to the database and they show up under the node's summary page, but the volumes have no data. Searching I did find and readhttps://thwack.solarwinds.com/thread/79088?q=Not%20mo, even though I made suer that VolumeType is set to "Fixed Disk" the VolumeTypeID is still showing up as 0.
Here is the part of the code that gets the drive information from WMI, and then adds them to the database:
$drives = Get-WmiObject -Credential ($creds) -ComputerName $Hostname -Class win32_Volume -Filter DriveType=3
foreach ($drive in $drives){
#Getting information from the driver and using it to build requirments in SolarWinds
$DriveCaption = "$($drive.Caption) Label:$($drive.Label) $([Convert]::ToString($drive.SerialNumber, 16))";
$DriveDescrption = "$($drive.Caption) Label:$($drive.Label) Serial Number $([Convert]::ToString($drive.SerialNumber, 16))";
#Adding everything to a hash
$AddDrive = @{
<#
NodeID=$NodeID; # NodeID on which the interface is working on
VolumeIndex= "4";
VolumeTypeID = "4";
Status=1;
#Type ="Fixed Disk";
VolumeType = "Fixed Disk";
Icon ="FixedDisk.gif";
Caption=$DriveCaption;
VolumeDescription=$DriveDescrption;
FullName = "$hostname-$DriveCaption"
PollInterval=120;
StatCollection=15;
RediscoveryInterval=30;
NextRediscovery=[DateTime]::UtcNow;
#>
NodeID=$NodeID;
VolumeType="Fixed Disk";
VolumeTypeID="4";
Icon="FixedDisk.gif";
VolumeIndex="4";
Caption=$DriveCaption;
VolumeDescription=$DriveDescrption;
#status=1
FullName = "$hostname-$DriveCaption"
PollInterval="120";
StatCollection="15";
RediscoveryInterval="30";
#NextRediscovery=[DateTime]::UtcNow;
}
#Inserting drives to be monitored into the database
$driveURI = New-swisobject $swis -EntityType "Orion.volumes" -properties $AddDrive
Here is the code that is adding the pollers and the pollers that I am adding:
function AddPoller($PollerType){
Write-Verbose "Adding $pollertype to database"
#Getting the first part of the WMI string before the period (.), which Solarwinds needs for it's database.

If I add the node via the web portal, everything is monitored. I pulled the pollers from this test. If I added them to the database myself, it doesn't seem to work properly.
I have a Powershell script that runs nightly, and has been doing so successfully for a while until recently.
When the script runs it creates groups, and then also does nesting of subgroups and nodes.
When it run now, it won't nest the groups properly under the one 'master group' I have created.
Looking at the database tables and comparing it to a second instance of NPM that was a clean install, I see there are indexes on the new instance database that aren't in the one I'm working.
I've opened a support ticket to cover my bases, but want to ask here if any one else has had experience with this.
Hello,
I have a customer that is using SolarWinds to monitor their environment. I need to export a list of all known hosts on their network.
I would prefer to have the following details for each host: ip, hostname, vendor, os, device type
They are using the follow products and versions:
I guess my biggest hurdle has been that I am not familiar with the product enough to know where to look. I need to work with the data programmatically so having this data as a PDF will not be very useful.
Any guidance on where to look for or how to access this information will be great.
I apologize if I am posting this in the wrong place.
Hello,
I have an issue with Discovery. I really want to add devices automatically in Discovery process, when we use a device for the first time. For instance, there is a subnet in IPAM, and I use it for the first time. I assign an IP address to my device, but there is no such subnet in Discovery. Then I just forget about this device and I don't discover it. As a result, I lost my device.
SO, my question is: Is it possible to add subnets from IPAM to Discovery process?
Can anyone comment on PIVOT functionality with SWQL? Perhaps an example of where it's been used previously?
I have a web resource for the dashboard view using SWQL perfectly, but I would love to see the row data flipped around into column for easier consumption.
I did exactly what I wanted to do on a web report with a custom SQL query --- and of course I can do a custom SQL query report through report writer and display the report on the view. Works great for me as the admin, but there are known issues with custom SQL reporting and account limitations (it gets broken).
The answer seems simple, to write the view Custom Query resource in SWQL with a pivot table, but I can't for the life of me seem to get it functional.
Anyone run into the same issues previously?

Where I see a major problem with WSQL is returning properties for a node, where you don't know what is available. You can use a query like:
SELECT Name FROM Metadata.Property where EntityName = 'Orion.Nodes'
to return all possible properties for nodes, but the problem is that the list that is returned appears to contain properties for all nodes type, where any given property may be valid for some nodes and invalid for others. Is there a way to return property names for a specific type like a Windows server node?
If I want to return all valid properties for a node, is there a way to do it concisely instead of:
SELECT NodeID,ObjectSubType,IPAddress,IPAddressType,DynamicIP,Caption,NodeDescription,Description,DNS,SysName,Vendor,SysObjectID,
Location,Contact,VendorIcon,Icon,IOSImage,IOSVersion,GroupStatus,StatusIcon,LastBoot,SystemUpTime,ResponseTime,PercentLoss,AvgResponseTime,
MinResponseTime,MaxResponseTime,CPULoad,MemoryUsed,MemoryAvailable,PercentMemoryUsed,PercentMemoryAvailable,LastSync,LastSystemUpTimePollUtc,
MachineType,Severity,ChildStatus,Allow64BitCounters,AgentPort,TotalMemory,CMTS,CustomPollerLastStatisticsPoll,CustomPollerLastStatisticsPollSuccess,SNMPVersion,
PollInterval,EngineID,RediscoveryInterval,NextPoll,NextRediscovery,StatCollection,External,Community,RWCommunity,IP,IP_Address,IPAddressGUID,NodeName,
BlockUntil,BufferNoMemThisHour,BufferNoMemToday,BufferSmMissThisHour,BufferSmMissToday,BufferMdMissThisHour,BufferMdMissToday,BufferBgMissThisHour,
BufferBgMissToday,BufferLgMissThisHour,BufferLgMissToday,BufferHgMissThisHour,BufferHgMissToday,OrionIdPrefix,OrionIdColumn,MinutesSinceLastSync,
EntityType,DetailsUrl FROM Orion.Nodes order by nodeid"
By the way I did not type that in manually, LOL. I'm trying to use this in Powershell and what I'm trying to get at are things like the assigned application monitors, event list, and/or active alerts for a given node, in addition to current configuration information.
HI!
I have tried to build a simple query to fetch all EventTime from Event - table using the SWQL Studio (SDK 1.5).
The query is as simple as this:
SELECT EventTime FROM Orion.Events;
The result is returned as yyyy-MM-DD HH:mm:ss.
I have also tried to query the database directly using:
SELECT EventTime FROM dbo.Events
which gives me: yyyy-MM-DD HH:mm:ss.SSS
As shown above the milliseconds are not returned using the SWQL Studio. Also, for some reason, it seems that 2 hours are added to the time in SWQL Studio which would indicate that it uses some kind of timeezone formatting which is not visbile in the returned result
Ideas?
Thanks

Adding a Node for Monitoring
To add a new node to Orion and enable monitoring of the node, create a new Orion.Nodes entity and
register it for polling the relevant set of information.
First, review the PowerShell script example for adding a node.
# initialize SWIS connection
$swis = Connect-Swis
# add a node
$newNodeProps = @{
EntityType="Orion.Nodes";
IPAddress="10.0.0.1";
IPAddressGUID="0100000a-0000-0000-0000-000000000000";
Caption="";
DynamicIP=$False;
EngineID=1;
Status=1;
UnManaged=$False;
Allow64BitCounters=$False;
SysObjectID="";
MachineType="";
VendorIcon="";
ObjectSubType="SNMP";
SNMPVersion=2;
Community="public";
}
This is insufficient for NPM 11.5.2 -- it leaves the SNMPv3 credentials as NULL, and the Trap manager will not be able to handle traps from the node.
the error report in the logfile looks like this:
2015-10-13 12:32:00,730 [34] ERROR SolarWinds.Orion.Common.ManagedNodeState - Error occured during the getting node with IP [xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] from Nodes table!
System.Data.SqlTypes.SqlNullValueException: Data is Null. This method or property cannot be called on Null values.
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlBuffer.get_String()
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlDataReader.GetString(Int32 i)
at SolarWinds.Orion.Common.ManagedNodeState.AddNewNode(String ip, Boolean getSnmpCred)
'editing' a node properties and submitting without changing them updates the NULL values in the SNMPv3 credentials.
...when I'm relitively certain that the NodeIDs WILL conflict / possibly be duplicated ?
Any thoughts / help on this appreciated!
My question is pretty much the same as in this thread:
https://thwack.solarwinds.com/thread/68357
I'm trying to set the hostname with a POST in curl (specifically pyCurl) but I'm coming up with nothing. I can successfully mark an IP as used or available by submitting:
objectId=3923&ids=128&entity=IPAM.IPNode&verb=UpdateManyStatus&ipstatus=1
What are the variables I need to set so I can set things like hostname, alias and comment?
It is surprisingly difficult to find adequate documentation for this product. Where are ids, objectid, entity, verb and ipstatus documented? I suspect if I can find that I can find other things to set.
Thanks!
Looking for information beyond the basic barebones type of field schema, something that describes the utility for anything beyond the obvious fields.
Thanks
In Orion database there are seven tables that contain Netflow information. They have 36 fields in common, such as the SourceIP address, Number of bytes, SourceHostname etc. The difference is extra fields, for example ByHostname adds the fields ASID, CountryCode, Domain, Hostname, IP, IPGroupSegmentID, and PartnerIP. Some of the extra fields appear to be duplicates of the common fields. For example the extra field Hostname always (in my case and my limited sample) matches either the common fields SourceHostname or DestinationHostname. This also applies to the extra field IP and PartnerIP. Are the extra fields there as a programming convenience (for easier flow search) or for some other purpose that I haven't come across? I would like to use either Orion.Netflow.Flows.ByHostname or Orion.Netflow.Flows.ByIP as they capture more information, but they appear to report the same flow multiple times, just with different "key" values. I need to make sure I don't drop flows by accident.
Thanks
Hello,
I am trying to create a report that shows me flows that have stopped from yesterday. I have some netflow sources configured that show streams from my security cameras. I would like a report (and eventually an alert, but that is another thwack post) that will tell me when these flows no longer exist. I think my where statement is correct but I keep getting the error "no viable input at EXISTS in where clause". Can anyone look this over and point me in the right direction? Thanks
