I am running into an issue with trying to add interfaces on a node that I was successfully able to add by either powershell or curl.

For powershell I am running the command:

$discovered = Invoke-SwisVerb $swis Orion.NPM.Interfaces -verb DiscoverInterfacesOnNode 1647

Which returns the error:

Invoke-SwisVerb : The operation has timed out.

Which returns the error:

I have been able to push and pull lots of information, and manually discovering and adding the interfaces through the web GUI works fine.  The timeout occurs around 5 minutes for the curl and powershell commands which hopefully means there is a timeout adjustment which can be made.  Although discovering the interfaces on the web gui does not take nearly this long...

Hi,

I am trying to create a single detail page with only a few "custom property" that I can allow a user to edit.  I then added a view limitation to certain groups of servers that can also be viewed/search.  This will prevent users from viewing other node detail information and be locked down to group of servers that can be edited or viewed.

Now I need to enable the "custom search" where the query will update the url with the host/ip: /Orion/NetPerfMon/NodeDetails.aspx?netobject=N:1546&ViewID=280

This is where I need help: how do I create a custom search query that will update the url (N:(nodeid))?

Thanks in advance for your help/.

Hello:

Hello,

Please I need help help to change SNMPv3 encryption.

I can use swis.update(uri,PrivacyMethod='AES128') to change it. but still has other field to change:

Found the the field in NCM.nodes but

tried to use swis.update(uri,SNMPEncryptType='AES128') and it doesm't work.

Looking for auditing purposes.

Hello Orion Experts,

I am trying to display application health status from an API feed. (Unfortunately we do not have access to the servers to install agents). I have a power shell script that works perfectly to pull the results using REST API returning the results in PS Custom Object as following.

Display_name       : ServerFQDN

host_address       : IPAddress

host_alias         :  ServerName

host_plugin_output : PING OK - Packet loss = 0%, RTA = 0.25 ms

I have over 300+ Nodes to monitor. My goal is to display the Application name and status in Orion Dash board.

My question are following

1 - What will be the best method to display the node status in Orion dash board.  A- SAM custom monitor  or SWIS API?

2- Each scan results are different should I add all 300+ nodes to ICMP monitoring pool or if there is anyway i can add a custom property like Node name and status on the fly using any of the above methods?

3- How can I input data from XML/CSV or JASON in SAM Script editor,

4- If anyone has any power shell example or video showing how to attach custom scripts and output the results to dash bard will be much appreciated.

When doing the set-swisobject I get an access denied error. The account "admin" is marked as an admin in the Orion website.

Is there another location to set permissions that enable read/write on the nodes?

Hello Orion SDK Community,

I'm using the Orion.NPM.Interfaces/DiscoverInterfacesOnNode verb - when I take a look at the discovery results, I get ifOperStatus = 4 for all interfaces.

Upon adding those interfaces with the AddInterfacesOnNode verb - the interfaces show a different status. Wondering if this is this a bug or by design?

When using the GUI/List resources, there is an indicator of the interface status (up/down shown as green/red).

I'm wanting to use the DiscoverInterfacesOnNode verb to list all interfaces, filter based on ifType and ifOperStatus (let's say for example, IfType = 6 and ifOperStatus = 1) and then add the resulting interfaces. This would allow me to filter based on interface status/other attributes.

For now, I am using another loop after the interfaces are added to query URI based on status and delete in bulk , but would prefer to do this all in one step if possible.

Thank you,

Hi,

I have a question. Can be added a node via SWIS (Orion SDK) ? Can you help me about that? -like sample code-

(I'm working on ASP .Net / C# project about that subject.)

Thanks.

I want to use curl to suppress alerts.  I've tried invoking SuppressAlerts however I'm not able to get it working.

URL https://:17778/SolarWinds/InformationService/v3/Json/Invoke/Orion.AlertSuppression/SuppressAlerts

json body [ ["swis://server/Orion/Orion.Nodes/NodeID=7924"] ]

I get a null response.  Can someone provide an example of how to use curl to invoke SuppressAlerts?

very new to the swis api and SWQL so would greatly appreciate any help.

i am looking for a query that will give me traffic information interfaces this being the max/min in/out bps  and the avg in/out bps for a period of the last 30 days.

any thing i have tried so far will give me multiple entries for every few hours is there anyway to just take the highest and lowest recorded for the given day to be used for the min and max.

many thanks sorry if this a vague

I've run into a strangeness dealing with SWQL/SWIS.  If I use the following query in SWQL Studio, it works fine.  If I attempt to run the same query via SWIS (python flavor), I get a strange error.

I created a (Node) Custom Property called SLA_Sync_Time which is defined as a Date/Time custom property: not required, no default value.

Here's the (simple/sample) query:

     SELECT TOP 10 NodeID, SLA_Sync_Time from Orion.NodesCustomProperties

When I run this in SWQL Studio, I get the 10 rows I would expect.

The python code looks like so:

import requests

import orionsdk

npm_server = '<server>'

npm_user = '<user>'

npm_password = '<password>'

requests.packages.urllib3.disable_warnings()

swis = orionsdk.SwisClient(npm_server, npm_user, npm_password)

sql = "SELECT TOP 10 NodeID, SLA_Sync_Time from Orion.NodesCustomProperties"

print swis.query(sql)['results']

This produces the following error:

      requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 400 Client Error: Cannot set Column 'SLA_Sync_Time' to be null. Please use DBNull instead.

This is weird in that (a) I'm not trying to 'set' anything (so the message is particularly scary) and (b) it works in SWQL.

I have a few of these Date/Time properties, and all of them generate the same error.

What's the best work-around?  Set a default date (I'd rather not, as that puts bogus data in my DB)?  Update all of the fields to contain a DBNull (how)?

Hi,

We're trying to get SNMPv3 nodes created via the API (from Python) with both SNMPv3PrivKeyIsPwd and SNMPv3AuthKeyIsPwd set to False, but it seems like this is failing with a "400 Client Error: Specified cast is not valid" error. If I leave those fields undefined, the node gets created without issues, but SNMPv3 doesn't actually work unless I go to the web UI and uncheck those checkboxes - which kind of defeats the whole point of automating node creation via the API. The default for those fields seems to be True.

I've tried a few different values for those fields (boolean/integer, string formats), but nothing seems to be working. Does anyone know how to create a SNMPv3 node with those fields set to false via the API (without doing a discovery)?

thanks for the help!

Hi,

I am creating an "Application" alert to notify me when an application goes down.

On the message, I want to insert a custom variable to show all components that are down.

However, when I use this SWQL statement, it only shows the 1 item, and not every component.

An example:

If the IIS application has 2 components that are down, it only shows one on the message, and not the rest.

Question;

Is there a way to allow the SWQL statement to "list" all the components that are down?

Currently, the available variables will show components with "unknown" as well, which I do not want it displayed.

Hello Orion Experts.

I am trying to create and update custom property values for 300+ nodes that are being monitored via ICMP.  Found a script OrionSDK/CRUD.SettingCustomProperty.ps1 at master · solarwinds/OrionSDK · GitHub  to update the custom property. When i try to get the data from Swis using Get-OrionNode command i do not get property interfaceID. the script above is using interface Id to set and update the property values.  Script above is asking to build interface ID.  Please let me know if i am using a wrong interface or if there is a better way to get the task done.

We have a Python script that does a full discovery, including Interface filters, with AutoImport=True and it works like a champ. However, we're trying to figure out how to have a two part approach:

1 - Discovery with AutoImport=False

2 - Import devices that have been discovered

There aren't a lot of references out there that provide detailed examples of using 'ImportDiscoveryResults'. Here are some that I've been looking at:

SolarWinds Information Service v3.0 Schema Documentation

orionsdk-python/swisclient.py at master · solarwinds/orionsdk-python · GitHub

From that one:

So it seems like I should have something like this:

swis.invoke('Orion.Discovery', 'ImportDiscoveryResults', ??)

Can I provide just the ProfileID that I already have from the previous Discovery? I've seen references about specifying Nodes, but I would like to only have to provide the ProfileID if possible.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Greetings,

I am currently trying to automate the maintenance of the SWQL database using the ORION SDK, SwisSnappin and PowerORION Module for Powershell.

I am running SWQL Studio 2.2.54.0, NPM 12.1, SAM 6.4 (Both Trial as I cannot test on a production server) and PowerShell V5.

On another note, when I create nodes I am using the sample found on git hub : OrionSDK/CRUD.AddNode.ps1 at master · solarwinds/OrionSDK · GitHub

Are there other properties/pollers that need to be added upon creation for successful monitoring?

Thanks,

Will.

Orion SDK 2.2 has been released. The main feature in this release is smart autocomplete in SWQL Studio, but there are also various minor bugfixes and improvements.

You can download the installer from GitHub: Release v2.2.54 · solarwinds/OrionSDK · GitHub

You can also install it from Chocolatey (Chocolatey Gallery | SolarWinds Orion SDK 2.2.54 ) using "choco install orionsdk"

Documentation is on the GitHub wiki: Home · solarwinds/OrionSDK Wiki · GitHub

These tools are compatible with all of the same SolarWinds products that the previous release was, so you should have no fear of upgrading. On the other side, Orion SDK 2.1 and several previous releases are compatible with the latest 2017 SolarWinds products, so don't feel like you need to upgrade the Orion SDK just for compatibility.

As always, you can ask your Orion SDK questions in this forum. If you see a bug in the SDK tools, feel free to open an issue on the GitHub project: Issues · solarwinds/OrionSDK · GitHub.
