Associating a AppInsight for IIS to a node using API. I tried to use Orion.APM.Application.CreateApplication and Orion.APM.IIS.Application.CreateApplication and did not work

I am trying to set up a API healthcheck against one of our vendors.

The url is: https://rxsx.xxx.com/xapi/healthcheck

This will return a HTTP 200 OK if there API is up and processing. 

I've tried to set it up using the HTTPS monitor by putting in the https://${IP}:${PORT}/xapi/healthcheck using Put and Get but it fails with underlying connection was closed.

How can I monitor this check for HTTP 200 OK?

Thanks,

Kat

how to delete unmanaged nodes in Solarwinds.

Hello All,

I'm working on a project that requires us to change the IP address of every server in our infrastructure. There are a number of operations that happen on different servers as part of this process. I'm using Perl for the controlling process, and it executes all these different operations on different servers. Some REST, some curl, a kerberos init, some SSH remote commands and so on. It talks to Windows and Linux as part of the process. In the case of SolarWinds, I have to perform several operations via REST; look up node ID (working), look up available IP addresses from the pool (working), delete the node (NOT working), and re-add the node when the other operations are completed at the end (untested).

The issue with deleting nodes seems to be related to how the request is being sent.  I get the same results whether I send the request with LWP::Simple or a or plain old command line curl. To reiterate, the SQL queries sent via either LWP, Net::SolarWinds::REST, or Curl all work as expected, only the DELETE does not work.

I can get the delete to work using WizTools RESTClient 3.5 (a freeware REST tool), using the same URL Perl and Curl are using, so I suspect there is some bit of syntax I'm missing.

Here's the Perl source in question (I don't see a way to mark up source, I hope it displays well):

The get works, the DELETE does not (error at the bottom)

Any thoughts?

I want to replicate the behavior in the GUI that occurs if I go to:

https://myOrionServer/Orion/AgentManagement/Admin/ManageAgents.aspx

Select an Agent, and click Delete. This not only removes the Agent registration, it also deletes the Node and cleans up everything associated with it.

I THINK the correct way to do that with Powershell is:

invoke-swisverb $swis Orion.AgentManagement.Agent delete @($agentid)

Where $swis is the SwisConnection, Orion.AgentManagement.Agent is the Entity, delete is the Verb, and $agentid is the integer in the AgentId column in the Orion.AgentManagement.Agent table.

Am I correct in my syntax? Will this accomplish the same thing that using the GUI does when I select an Agent and click Delete? If not, what else would I need to do?

Hi,

I am using the Rest API Method to acknowledge an active alert

bool Acknowledge(int[] alertObjectIds, string note).

With this method the note is appended in the AlertsStatus.Note field which is fine.

However I also want to populate the AcknowledgedNote field in the ActiveAlert table with a value when I acknowledged an Alert.

Are there any Rest API calls to do this? I know that the data in the  "ActiveAlert.AcknowledgeNote" field will be deleted once an Alert is not active and that's exactly what I want to achieve.

Thanks in Advance

Hello,

I'm new to this software so I have a few questions that might seem obvious.

Does anyone have a list of properties that a node should have when creating one using the api? I´m using a python code I found on the internet for adding nodes in NPM and I would like to know what are the names of the fields that you usually have to fill out to create a node. I've been trying to find some documentation about this, but without success.

Thank you in advance,

I've been able to script unmanaging and managing nodes in powershell. However, for 400+ nodes, this ends up taking quite a while. Via script, it takes about 7 minutes to unmanage the nodes and over 10 minutes to remanage them. Doing this from the website takes about 25 seconds and no more than a minute, respectively. My guess is that the website somehow group updates the database instead of doing it one at a time. Anyone else seen this or have any idea how to do more than one node at a time? Below is sample code for how I am unmanaging a single node:

Invoke-SwisVerb $swis Orion.Nodes Unmanage @("N:$nodeid",$start,$end,"false")

Thanks for any advice you have!

Hello World

before the upgrade to NPM v12 we were using some custom queries in order to extract IOPs per process from the database and create charts and tables with that. Everything was working beautifully until the upgrade to NPM v12, since then the query is not working (error message) on any web resources, however it still works in SWQL studio.

I've been troubleshooting the query and the issue is in the 'in (Select...)' statement. It works fine if you add values inside the in (example pec.componentid in ('10','20','30'...) but it doesn't with another WHERE clause.

It would be nice if we could get a response from the development team and if they could confirm that SWQL queries that are working in SWQL studio will also be working on the web interface? Otherwise, what's the point of SWQL studio? (yes, i know that there are lots of different things you can do with it, but this is one of the main ones, at least for a lot of SW users).

Query:

SELECT pec.componentid, ( pec.avgioreadoperationspersec + pec.avgiowriteoperationspersec )
AS avgiops, pec.timestamp, cst.componentprocessname, cst.componentprocessname + ' from ' + cst.componentname + ' on ' + n.caption
AS fullname
FROM orion.apm.processevidencechart pec inner join orion.apm.currentstatistics cst
ON cst.componentid = pec.componentid inner join orion.apm.component comp
ON comp.componentid = pec.componentid inner join orion.apm.applicationalert appl
ON appl.id = comp.applicationid inner join orion.nodes n
ON n.nodeid = appl.nodeid

WHERE pec.timestamp> ${FromTime} AND pec.timestamp< ${ToTime}
AND pec.componentid IN

(

SELECT top 10 componentid
FROM orion.apm.processevidencechart pec inner join orion.apm.component comp
ON comp.componentid = pec.componentid WHERE pec.timestamp> ${FromTime}
AND pec.timestamp< ${ToTime} AND avgioreadoperationspersec IS NOT NULL
AND avgiowriteoperationspersec IS NOT NULL AND comp.applicationid = ${applicationid}
GROUP BY componentid
ORDER BY avg ( avgioreadoperationspersec + avgiowriteoperationspersec )

DESC

)

The problem also is that we use this structure in order to extract other type of information....

Can the services be controlled much like the Service Manager "Start Everything" and "Stop Everything".

My environment has 10 pollers and it would be nice to be able to run a script to shut down all the services on each device, then start them again.

I am currently running into an issue while running a Node Discovery via RestAPI.  I am seeing the following error in Status Description within SWQL Studio.   I have noticed is when I login into Orion and edit the Discovery Profile and click through it without modifying any settings the profile will run correctly and then the next attempted API call will work correctly without an error until the next day. 

I have also included my JSON for failed discovery in the attachment. 

(Updated information)

Through some additional testing the following has been found.

• Receive this error when using secondary Orion Engine's
• Will not receive error if click through failed Job and manual start discovery via Web Page.  The next jobs will work correctly for about 20 mins and then start failing again.

Would anyone be able to point me to an article or reference material where some very basic and easy tasks are completed using the API ? 

I am looking to find the table that contains the 'Network Interfaces' information under the 'Asset Inventory' for a node so I can query the DNS entries and run a quick report.

Thanks for any help you can give me on where to find these tables.

I hear that NPM 12 will be reaching RC in the near future, does this release have any new API features? Anything which will make automation for adding new nodes will be welcomed.

Jon.

Im looking for a way to get the list of volume from a node.

I used SWQL to obtain the list from Orion NPM, but since none of the Node's volume have been discovered it return an empty list.

Is there a way to trigger a volume discovery from the API for a specific Node?

is this obtained by some pollers I need to assign to the node for this to happen?

I am attempting to add nodes via SNMP using python.  I have previously been using ICMP to add the nodes only for Status and response time polling, but would like to expand further and gather more information automatically.  Is there a good way to try to authenticate over SNMP using the SNMP string, and if the string verifies, add the node?  I currently am using this snippet of code, and it does successfully add an SNMP node, but the only statistics that show up on the node page are for Average Response Time and Packet Loss, but CPU load, Memory, and any disks are not detected.  I may not be fully understanding the polling aspect and how it works in regards to the API, but I would like to essentially recreate what happens when I "List Resources" on a node and select which disks, CPU, RAM, and other properties to monitor.  If someone could take a look at my poller options and let me know if I am making a mistake somewhere that would be great.

Also, can I use some sort of try/catch exception handling when adding SNMP nodes, in case the string does not authenticate, I can revert back to adding the node via simply ICMP?

Thanks!

Where can a get a FULL listing of the verbs that are available within the SDK?

Is there an API I can connect to with Python?

I would like to query IPAM with Ansible/Python

Thanks.

I'm automating provisioning/configuring Linux boxes using Ansible. I just finished automating the SNMP install/config, and I'd like to add steps that would add the linux server as a node to Solarwindws. Is this possbile? Or is SWIS only for queries?
