Parameters for entity type

Hi can I know which parameters are required when creating entity with "New-SwisObject"

For example, how can I know this is fine:

New-SwisObject $swis -EntityType 'IPAM.Subnet' -Properties @{Address="10.195.0.0"; CIDR="16";}

And also this line is fine:

New-SwisObject $swis -EntityType 'IPAM.Subnet' -Properties @{Address="10.194.0.0"; CIDR="16"; ParentID="7714";}

But the following line returns an error:

New-SwisObject $swis -EntityType 'IPAM.Subnet' -Properties @{Address="10.196.0.0";}

Is there any documentation for required\optional parameters for each entity?

*I checked the SWQL Studio and cannot find any clues there.

It chould change depending on the version you are using.

The wiki should provide what you are looking for. Home · solarwinds/OrionSDK Wiki · GitHub (https://github.com/solarwinds/OrionSDK/wiki)

Snip of CRUD operations for IPAM.Subnet for 2022.2

Thanks, It is very helpful.

But is there a why to get such table regarding each and every entity?

How can I know if I can create NCM Baseline with the "NCM.Baselines" entity?

Example

New-SwisObject $swis -EntityType 'NCM.Baselines' -Properties . . .

Is there any general list for entities that available for CRUD operations?

I'm glad that resource will be helpful. The wiki documentation is the only source I am aware of that gets updated for the SDK. I can only speculate as to why each entity have different options. The product as it stands today has been developed as individual modules over the years, by different teams, with different requirements. There has been a huge effort for consolidation in recent times that may translate to the SDK, but until then we need to work with the documentation we have available.

Get SWQL Studio, it will tell you all that, see screenshots below. https://github.com/solarwinds/OrionSDK/releases

Or you can look at the schema docs as @stevenstadel mentioned: solarwinds.github.io/.../

This may be useful too, as you can query entity metadata via SWQL as well.

Ok. Regarding the image of the 'NCM.Baselines' taken from the SWQL.

How can I know, based on this image which properties are required when using 'New-SwisObject' ??

Thanks
