is there an api to import/export reports? 

Is it possible to add a node using the python api? I have been trying and have been unsuccessful. Here are the requests I've tried to perform:

Using API:

r = swis.create(Orion.Nodes, {"IPAddress = " + ip + "; EngineID = 1; ObjectSubType = " + objsubtype+ "; Caption = " + caption + ";"})

Using requests:

r = requests.request("POST", "https://solarwinds:17778/SolarWinds/InformationService/v3/Json/Create/Orion.Nodes", data=json.dumps("Orion.Nodes", {"IPAddress = " + ip + "; EngineID = 1; ObjectSubType = " + objsubtype+ "; Caption = " + caption + ";"}), verify=False, auth=(username, password), headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json'})

Unfortunately, all I have been able to get is a 500 response.Can anybody help?

Hi

Am using the below script to unmanage the nodes. but the problem is if i give a node that is not in solarwinds its trying to unmanage instead of mentioning the node is not in solarwinds. Can some one help me to get the details of nodes that is not in solarwinds  and to unmanage other nodes from the given excel file

Add-Pssnapin swissnapin

$swis = Connect-Swis -Hostname orion -Username admin -Password supersecret

$captions = Get-Content .\nodes-to-unmanage.txt

$nodes = Get-SwisData $swis "SELECT Uri FROM Orion.Nodes WHERE Caption IN @captions AND Unmanaged=0" @{captions=$captions}

$nodes | Set-SwisObject $swis -Properties @{UnmanageFrom=[DateTime]::UtcNow;UnmanageUntil=[DateTime]::UtcHours}

when using aggregate funcitons on SWQL i get met with the following error.

The communication object,

System.ServiceModel.Security.SecuritySessionClientSettings'1+ClientSecurityDuplexSessionChannel[System.ServiceModel.Channels.IDuplexSesionChannel], cannot be used for communication because it is in the Faulted state.

any help would be great thanks.

I was advised by SolarWinds support to post a question on the community forms.  I am trying to run the below command and receive access is denied errors.  The account is a full admin on the server and in the IPAM application.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

'Invoke-SwisVerb $swis IPAM.SubnetManagement GetFirstAvailableIp @("10.99.99.0", "24")'. 

I got tired of checking and downloading new versions of the Orion SDK from GitHub.  OK, so I didn't exactly get tired of it, but I decided to have my computer do this for me.  So how best to do it?  PowerShell of course!

$TargetDirectory    = "C:\Place\I\Want\To\Save\The\Downloads"
$DownloadBetas      = $true
$DownloadLatestOnly = $false
$SdkPage = Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://github.com/solarwinds/OrionSDK/releases"
$Links = $SdkPage.Links | Where-Object { $_.innerText -like "*OrionSDK.msi*" }
$Links | Add-Member -MemberType ScriptProperty -Name IsBeta -Value { $this.href.Split("/")[-2] -like "*-beta" } -Force
$Links | Add-Member -MemberType ScriptProperty -Name Version -Value { if ( $this.IsBeta ) { [Version]( $this.href.Replace("v", "").Replace("-beta", "").Split("/")[-2] ) } else { [version]( $this.href.Replace("v", "").Split("/")[-2] ) } } -Force
$Links | Add-Member -MemberType ScriptProperty -Name Url -Value { "https://github.com$( $this.href )" } -Force
$Links | Add-Member -MemberType ScriptProperty -Name FileName -Value { "OrionSDK_$( $this.Version )$( if ( $this.IsBeta ) { "-beta" } ).msi" }
if ( $DownloadLatestOnly -and $DownloadBetas )
{    $DownloadLinks = $Links | Sort-Object -Property Version -Descending | Select-Object -First 1
}
elseif ( $DownloadLatestOnly -and -not $DownloadBetas )
{    $DownloadLinks = $Links | Where-Object { -not $_.IsBeta } | Sort-Object -Property Version -Descending | Select-Object -First 1
}
elseif ( -not $DownloadLatestOnly -and -not $DownloadBetas )
{    $DownloadLinks = $Links | Where-Object { -not $_.IsBeta }
}
else # ( -not $DownloadLatestOnly -and $DownloadBetas )
{    $DownloadLinks = $Links
}
$DownloadLinks | ForEach-Object { Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $_.Url -OutFile ( Join-Path -Path $TargetDirectory -ChildPath $_.FileName ) }

This does a few things:

1) Gets all of the MSI Downloads from the above page.

2) Adds the IsBeta and the Version members to the link objects

3) Filters (depending on the DownloadBetas and DownloadLatestOnly flags)

4) Download them.

Hi Everyone,

We have a vm template that has the agent installed on the system already. Once a system is provisioned,  our C.M. activates the agent and it shows up in Orion but with no resources listed.

I am trying to figure out how to perform the same functions as list resources would, from research I am guessing I would have to do a discovery on the node but everything is based on SNMP that I see. End goal is being able to programmatically add/remove resources ( volumes, interfaces, cpu/mem) for a agent polled node thats already in Orion. 

Thanks for any help.

Hello,

My company does not allow for the Orion SDK to be installed on the same server as the SQL database is on.

We are also not allowed to hard code any username or passwords into our scripts.

The admin does not want to enter their username or password using the get-credential call either.

That leaves me with two options when using connect-swis:

-Trusted and -Certificate

I have already tried both of these options remotely but have no success, I believe there is a firewall blocking my access.

How have you guys overcome this security issue?

Also what exactly are these calls?

Thanks,

Will.

First, I'll share the script. Then, I'll explain why we need it and how it helps us in our environment.

To use the script you must have the Orion SDK installed on the monitored node.

Take the text below, paste in Powershell ISE and save it as a PS1.

Explanation:

My company had a very unique need to monitor our enterprise Windows application that runs not only on standard desktop PCs, but also runs on mobile tablets connected to WiFi access points. These tablets run the standard Windows 7 Professional OS so it makes it easy to set up application monitoring in SolarWinds SAM for these machines. However, the problem comes at the end of the day when these tablets are turned off and placed in their charging docks for the night. As you can imagine, this creates an administrative nightmare (not to mention an email alert flood) in SolarWinds when this happens.

SolarWinds Orion NPM and SAM is designed to always keep an eye on a node or application that is entered in it's database. It is not designed to monitor an application or node only "part of the time" --- well, at least it isn't designed for this purpose out of the box. So instead, we have to create a workaround that will suit our needs. What we needed to do was figure out how to automatically "unmanage" these Windows tablet PCs in SolarWinds when they are shut down for the night, but also automatically "re-manage" them once they boot up. This is where the script comes into play.

The idea is to take the Unmanage script and apply it as a shut down script in Group Policy, then take the Remanage script and apply it as a boot up script in Group Policy.

Here is why this works for us:

The business is supposed to gracefully shut down the tablet by clicking Start > Shut down. If not, then an email alert triggers that informs us that the application is down on the machine.

If the tablet goes offline in the middle of the day for any reason, we will receive an email alert about that node.

When the machine is shut down properly, the node is automatically unmanaged in SolarWinds.

When the machine boots up and someone logs into the machine, the node is automatically remanaged in SolarWinds.

But here is an even better use for these scripts --- Scheduled Server Maintenance! How many times have we, server administrators, had to patch Windows Servers during scheduled maintenance hours? Normally you would have to go into SolarWinds and unmanage the node first BEFORE rebooting as not to trigger an email alert. Well with these scripts you wouldn't have to worry about that as much since this would be automatic.

Final notes:

Of course, this is just one way to go about auto-managing nodes in SolarWinds. There are some alternatives to doing this using the Orion SDK and Powershell which is to, instead, use the built-in .NET properties in Powershell 2.0 to access the Orion SQL database directly, find the node ID, and unmanage it in that manner. For those that are interested in how do to this without the Orion SDK, let me know and I'd be happy to elaborate.

We just got a developer that will be working to develop helpful programs to aid us in administering our Orion environment.  For now though we use a lot of PowerShell scripts that I write to automate many tasks, usually those tasks are automating custom properties.  One issue I run into often is my PowerShell scripts take a long time to run.  I've gotten better at improving my code to loop through items less often and things like that, but I'm looking for some additional tips.

- When I'm invoking verbs, specifically the Set-SwisObject verb, am I able to send multiple objects to this, or do I need to do one object at a time?  I know I can send multiple properties for a single node to it, but can I just send a whole hash table full of Node Custom Property URI's, Properties, and their desired values at it, or is looping through each node necessary?  If so how should this look?

- Same question with other verbs?

- Our Developer will be re-creating my PowerShell scripts into more robust .Net Programs using C# mostly.  Are there any general performance tips for interacting with the API via C#?

- Any general performance tips for the API in general or just the API via PowerShell?

Thanks for any assistance you may be able to offer.

This is my first successful draft of a code bit that will decode the CronExpression column for alert time periods in a totally SWQL friendly way.

This code is not pretty. It is not elegant. It does not cover every Crontab configuration that is ever possible ever.

It DOES run in a web report. It DOES, as far as I can tell, handle all the possible configurations available with in Solarwinds.

I have not found a way to do this, but maybe I'm not looking in the right place. We've got Python scripts for discovering and adding nodes and interfaces via API no problem. We're using corePluginConfig  and  interfacesPluginConfig to accomplish this. But I have not seen a similar "ports" PluginConfig (i.e. portsPluginConfig). When we started down the road of automating device entry, we assumed UDT ports would also be available to us via API. Like when we import discovered results in the web console, the Interfaces screen (with all of its selection criteria and filtering) is followed by an almost identical Ports screen. So it seemed safe to assume we would be able to include UDT ports when automating device entry via API.

Hopefully I'm just missing something and the option to do this is available.

Thanks!

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.

Following is the datatype from Get-OrionNode output.

Hello,

We are currently customizing the CRUD.AddWMINode.ps1 sample script from GitHub to add Windows nodes to Orion. We have been able to add most of the components using the script; however, we do not know how to add polling of the NIC, Asset Inventory, and Windows Scheduled Tasks using the script. Please see the image below for what we are trying to add using the PowerShell script:

Thank you for the help!

Hello,

My company does not allow for the Orion SDK to be installed on the same server as the SQL database is on.

We are also not allowed to hard code any username or passwords into our scripts.

The admin does not want to enter their username or password using the get-credential call either.

That leaves me with two options when using connect-swis:

-Trusted and -Certificate

I have already tried both of these options remotely but have no success, I believe there is a firewall blocking my access.

How have you guys overcome this security issue?

Also what exactly are these calls?

Thanks,

Will.

We have a custom property, WO_Inc_Task_CRQ, that we use to store info related to the CRQ that requested the IP.  Is there a method to update that custom property via powershell?  We have updated the standard IP information such as DNSBackward, Alias, and Comments.

Hi,

I have to extract Netflow details full list of all the conversations using SWQL studio. The query was getting timed out after 2 minutes. Increased the timeout in the file

C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion SDK\SWQL Studio\SwqlStudio.exe.config

But still it is getting timed out at the higher time out period(increased it to about 30 minutes).

The query used was  "Select ApplicationID,DestinationIP,Packets,Ports,ProtocolID,SourceIP,TimeStamp FROM Orion.Netflow.Flows" . Even tried to fetch for top 100 but it timed out.

Is there a way I could extract these information.

Greetings Everyone,

Need help constructing a complex SWQL query to build a historical BW utilization table going back 180 days IN/OUT and broken up by month. Goal is to have it be 1 line, multiple columns per node/interface within a custom table as part of a larger situational awareness dashboard for our director. We would also like the values to conditionally format based on what percentage is returned for that given month. An example being Interface X off of Node Y was at 90% utilization per the 95th percentile IN for the month of March. We want that 90% value to be Red. If it dropped to 36% in May we want that value to be Green. The conditional format color just going off the already out of the box Solarwinds default thresholds.

I've already tried the syntax suggested in this thread: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/thread/113097 But I just get "Query is not valid" when attampting to use

DateTrunc(‘day’, T.ObservationTimestamp) AS [Day],

AVG(T.Traffic.InAveragebps) AS InAvgBps, AVG(T.Traffic.OutAveragebps) AS OutAvgBps,

MIN(T.Traffic.InMinbps) AS InMinBps, AVG(T.Traffic.OutMinbps) AS OutMinBps

MAX(T.Traffic.InMaxbps) AS InMaxBps, AVG(T.Traffic.OutMinbps) AS OutMaxBps

Or the subquery further down the thread.

We are on the latest version of NPM here.

This is what I have so far trying different things to also add in some fields to another custom table we're working on for the same dashboard. We have tabs capturing assets from different regions which is why we are using the CarrierName to filter out the other nodes/interfaces.

SELECT N.Caption AS [Node Name],

C.CarrierName AS PACE,

I.Name,

T.ObservationTimestamp,

T.InTotalPkts AS [Total Pkts IN],

T.OutTotalPkts AS [Total Pkts OUT],

'/Orion/NetPerfMon/NodeDetails.aspx?NetObject=N%3a'+ToString(N.NodeID) AS [_LinkFor_Node Name],

'/Orion/NetPerfMon/NodeDetails.aspx?NetObject=I:'+ToString(I.InterfaceID)+'&view=InterfaceDetails' AS [_LinkFor_Name],

I.DetailsUrl,

N.DetailsUrl

  FROM Orion.Nodes AS N

  INNER JOIN Orion.NPM.Interfaces AS I on N.NodeID=I.NodeID

  INNER JOIN Orion.NPM.InterfaceTraffic AS T on N.NodeID=T.NodeID

  INNER JOIN Orion.NPM.InterfacesCustomProperties AS C on I.InterfaceID=C.InterfaceID

  WHERE C.CarrierName Like 'Primary_b%'

  OR C.CarrierName Like 'Alternate_b%'

  ORDER BY N.Caption Asc, C.CarrierName Desc

when using aggregate funcitons on SWQL i get met with the following error.

The communication object,

System.ServiceModel.Security.SecuritySessionClientSettings'1+ClientSecurityDuplexSessionChannel[System.ServiceModel.Channels.IDuplexSesionChannel], cannot be used for communication because it is in the Faulted state.

any help would be great thanks.

Hi! I need use Orion SDK to do an automatization in powershell. I already installed orion SDK and PowerOrion in powershell but when I run my script to connect with Orion fail.
