New to SolarWinds API

RS2024

Hey there,

New to using SolarWinds. Looking to run a api call to collect all Inventory (All attributes) registered in our SolarWinds instance. I though maybe "Select *" would work, but I was wrong.

Appreciate the guidance

Recommend downloading the Orion SDK and using SWQL Studio to get a feel for what you can pull from. Also read about the API here: Orion SDK - Github link

Lots of really good tutorials are also on this site as well as answers to formulate specific requests. Have a search after reading and familiarizing yourself further - I started with the API 2 years ago and have really benefitted from the other discussions on this forum.

As @DGNetops indicated, getting familiar with the API using the SDK is the way to go. While similar in structure to SQL, SWQL used by the API does not have a '*' feature when selecting columns. You'll need to specify each column you expect to return.
