What is the correct way to delete a node from Solarwinds Orion using Rest API (not SWIS)?

dombru

I'm trying to programmatically delete a node from our SolarWinds Orion environment as part of our server decommission process I am automating.  I can't seem to find the correct endpoint to target in my POST to the API to do this, and I've searched the scheme documentation for our version (2024.1).  I should note I have no issues getting the NodeID from the API - it's just the delete operation I cannot figure out...

Here's what I am currently trying to do, but it fails:

# Extract the NodeID and perform the DELETE operation
if ($response.results.Count -gt 0) {
    $nodeID = $response.results[0].NodeID
    Write-Host "Node ID: $nodeID"

    # Construct the DELETE URI using NodeID
    $deleteUri = "$baseUri/Invoke/Orion.Nodes/Delete"

    $body = @{
        NodeID = $nodeID
    }

    $deleteResponse = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $deleteUri -Method Post -Headers $headers -Body ($body | ConvertTo-Json) -ContentType "application/json" -SkipCertificateCheck

And here's the error I get:

- Deleting Server01 from SolarWinds Orion: Node ID: 8296
Invoke-RestMethod: .\windows_server_decomm.ps1:475

You're using an ID not a URI, gotta switch over
