Dear All,

I've founded that we can do administrative shutdown on switch port which UDT monitoring on it.

but from example i found only usage in PowerShell.

Can someone suggest on how to use this function or Verbs in REST please.

How to automate port shut down not used for more than 30 days

Chanon.R

I have approximately 2,000 .csv files from an IPAM subnet export, which generates a spreadsheet per subnet.  I know the IPAM API has the ability to Create subnets, with the 'New-SwisObject' command, however, I don't have enough PowerShell experience to know how to put all the pieces together.  

My idea is to Target the folder the subnet documents are in (C:\ips) and populate the Address, FriendlyName, and CIDR Property variables in the script, from each file the folders.  The Addresses, and CIDR values would come from the Excel columns, "Subnet Address", and "Subnet CIDR", and the FriendlyName would be the name of the file itself.

However, what i'm not sure is, how can i say in the script that the address, friendlyname variables, and cidr are in each of the of the document , and how does the foreach statement work to go through each item in the folder?

Address= variable comes from Subnet Address column in csv

FriendlyName= variable comes from the file name of the csv

CIDR= variable comes from the Subnet CIDR of the csv

Here's what i have so far, but it's just a start.

$folder = get-childitem \ips

foreach ($file in $folder)

{

New-SwisObject $swis -EntityType 'IPAM.Subnet' -Properties @{Address='$subnet_Address'; FriendlyName='$filename of csv'; CIDR='24';}

}

I feel like this can't be that hard, i just don't know how to use PowerShell well enough to get all the pieces working together, or even if this is the right direction to go down.  It's unrealistic to do all these manually, and i understand that any custom entries we had entered before would be lost, as we're not doing a full Subnet Import via a csv, but recreating the Subnet by referencing some data in the .csv.

Thoughts?

Thanks!

I know Solarwinds offers products that are more focused on application monitoring, but we arent licensed for that. Only Orion -which we use to monitor the network. We're hoping to leverage the API (which will be new for us) to create a dashboard in Orion that will be able to report on the status of server applications based on service state). Is this possible? Practical?

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.

Hi!!   I'm trying to pull some information for NetFlow using SWQL and can't seem to get a relative time.

I saw some examples on thwack and have tried to use it to grab some domain info, but am getting the error: The parameter(s) 'Filter, Limit, Rx, Tx, TopKey' are missing for entity Orion.NetFlow.DomainsTop.

The doc I found for relative time is a bit out of date and the filter does not work.

How to fetch Total Ingress & Egress Bytes for Orion.NetFlow.IPAddressGroups using SDK

Any ideas on getting relative time into the Filter for getting information from the Orion.NetFlow.DomainsTop table?

Thanks

Amit

Using SWQL, I am able to log into Orion and able to see the structure of the IPAM.IPNode and can query data.

When I use .NET to connect, it accepts my login but when I try to query I get a response of connection refused.

Using the SDK sample for VB.NET I get the same results.  I am able to see the alert data that the sample queries for on the web site.  I can see the IPAM infor as well.

Is there a right that has to be turned on to allow me to query via code?

Hi All,

because maximum UDT poll interval is 5 min.

how to get current machine MAC Address on UDT switch port via REST?

Chanon.R

Hello,

Can you help me with this question, please?

i know how to use curl to do a query to retrieve records but how do i then update said records using curl?

i've searched the forums and havent found any posts on this.

There appears to be a bug in SWQL studio when invoking the createcontainer method and the member definition has an ampersand character in it.

See the end of this message for details on invoking

just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

Hi,

I am in need of creating an exact duplicate "Active Alerts View", but also need to filter the alerts to specific type of alerts.  This is because the View Limitation can not filter by Specific Alerts, and I can't use the Accounts alerts limitation category because everyone logs into the same group.

Short story, I found a SWQL query here for it, but I can't seem to find the "Active Time".. any ideas where this is located, or how I can get Active Time to display as in Active Alerts View?

SELECT 

  o.AlertConfigurations.Name AS [ALERT NAME] 

  ,'/Orion/NetPerfMon/ActiveAlertDetails.aspx?NetObject=AAT:' + ToString(o.AlertObjectID) AS [_LinkFor_ALERT NAME]

  ,o.AlertActive.TriggeredMessage AS [ALERT MESSAGE] 

  ,o.EntityCaption AS [ALERT OBJECT] 

  ,o.EntityDetailsURL AS [_LinkFor_ALERT OBJECT]

,ToLocal(o.AlertActive.TriggeredDateTime) AS [ALERT TRIGGER TIME]  

,o.RelatedNodeCaption AS [RELATED NODE] 

,o.RelatedNodeDetailsURL AS [_LinkFor_RELATED NODE] 

FROM Orion.AlertObjects o 

WHERE o.AlertActive.TriggeredMessage <> '' and o.AlertConfigurations.Name = 'Critical'

A bonus, anyone knows how to add the icons or color as well?

I am trying to create a dashboard that has Active Alerts. We have SW integrated with Service Now so on this dashboard I want to show alerts that are assigned to a particular Assignment Group in Service Now. In SWQL Studio the query works correctly and returns the correct number of records but when I put this in as Custom Query in the dashboard no records are return.  If I remove the where clause in the dashboard it will return all of the active alerts.  Any ideas why it would not work in the dashboard, is there any limitation on the SWQL  compared to the Studio. Thanks

in the above mentioned interface down and up time, has to be in a single row of the event for the report to calculate the gart easily.

Starting with NPM 10.4, SWIS now supports a REST/JSON API in addition to the existing SOAP API. The operations supported by each API are identical: the six basic operations of Query, Invoke, Create, Read, Update, and Delete; and the data you can access through each API is the same. The difference is that the REST/JSON API avoids the complexities of XML and SOAP, though it gives up the ability to have a client wrapper generated from WSDL.

Both APIs will be supported by the product indefinitely - the SOAP API is not deprecated or replaced by the REST API.

Third Party API services need to called from web services for NPM. We want a Web services based integration with the Service Desk(Summit).

I am using NPM 12.1.

Here, I am attaching web services document of Symphony Summit.

Has anyone used the Solarwinds installer at the link below?  Does it work decently or does it cause more problems than it is worth?  

SolarWinds Feature: SolarWinds Orion Installer - SolarWinds Worldwide, LLC. Help and Support

Not sure where I would find this information but wanted to start here.   Would it be possible to install the Solarwinds agent into a VM Ware server image so when we deploy servers the agent is already installed and then once a server is spun up the agent turns on and contacts the main Solarwinds server?  Just looking to see if we could automate this process at all and just the agent install not worrying about adding any SAM templates or additional monitoring parts.  Figured I would start here and see what all of you have done.  Thanks!

Hi,

Cross posting as didn't get a response in NPM area:

Custom SWQL resource

Thanks

Stuart

I am experiencing a layout xyz not stable to the view, where i see the xyz layout name is on the screen but data is from "Default Layout". where this is creating inconvience to our Helpdesk/Ops teams, though xyz view is green with no events, where Default Layout has entire stack with REDs show up.

Is there anyway i can restrict this xyz layout not to get Default Layout data.

Thanks in Advance, BK
