Compare 2 configs using Cirrus.ConfigArchive CompareConfigs verb

aidouhua

Hi,I am trying to compare 2 configs of a device by using the  Cirrus.ConfigArchive  CompareConfigs verb with below code

swis.invoke(

"Cirrus.ConfigArchive",

"CompareConfigs",

[node_ids],

[ConfigID1],

[ConfigID2],

)

where node_ids i queried from Cirrus.Nodes, and ConfigID1 ConfigID2 is queried from NCM.ConfigArchive

Error I got :

 requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 400 Client Error: Verb Cirrus.ConfigArchive.CompareConfigs cannot unpackage parameter 1 with type System.Guid for url: https://orion.******/SolarWinds/InformationService/v3/Json/Invoke/Cirrus.ConfigArchive/CompareConfigs

Looks like something to do with parameter,  but unfortunately I couldn't find a working examples and  can't find it on Swagger UI (solarwinds.github.io) as well

Has anybody used it before?  any suggestion is much appreciated!

Thanks

So, have you tried playing with SWQL Studio with it?   If you bring it up and go to that "Verb" in the object explorer, you can right click on it and choose "Invoke".  Takes a minute or so, but it will bring up a requester with the variables it needs to invoke it.   In this case "configId1", "configId2" and "settings", no "node_ids" needed?   Didn't look too close at settings, but I pulled up a couple configId's for a nodes running config and plugged them in and it seemed to work.   SWQL Studio is your friend!!
