How to invoke Orion API: /SaveActionsForAssignments

iam new to this community. The reason why iam here is because iam working on integrating our system with SolarWinds.
As per my requirement, we are supposed to set up SNMP traps of type SNMPv3 for a node as trigger actions to an alert using the API below.

SW API: /Invoke/Orion.Actions/SaveActionsForAssignments

For all our requests, the API responds successfully with a 200 status code.
However, when we investigate the alert in the dashboard, we find that the SNMP trap is configured as type SNMPv1 instead of SNMPv3.

Question: Why is the Orion API not accepting SNMPv3 credentials? Can you please help us resolve this issue?

From reading your Post I am not really understanding what you are trying to accomplish.

I SWOSH/Orion SENDING Traps or is it RECEIVING traps?

If it is receiving the traps, what are you trying to do with the Actions?

Your REST Call is looking at the programmatic interface for this page here:

So what exactly is the process what you want to do?

If you just want to analyze Traps sent to solarwinds, use the rule builder and set the actions there:

If I misunderstood your request, please clarify further

Hello there,

I am trying to set up an SNMP trap for an alert using the Orion API /Orion.Actions/SaveActionsForAssignments, which is available at solarwinds.github.io/.../swagger-ui.

The payload I prepared is for SNMPv3. However, after executing the API, when I check the alert, it is configured with an SNMP trap of type SNMPv1 instead of SNMPv3.

Here is the cURL command I used. I would appreciate any help you can provide.

curl -X POST https://XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX:17774/SolarWinds/InformationService/v3/Json/Invoke/Orion.Actions/SaveActionsForAssignments \

Here is the SS of the Trap from the SW Dashboard.

So summarized for me to understand the goal. You have some external system where you can "request" an alert in solarwinds being created. This tool/system has the option where you can request the alerting method being SNMP.

Is this what you are looking for?

in theory you should be able to use v3 as an alert action:

My guess is, that the API Call was not completely issued because you are missing the trap message and I suspect something else is also going wrong as the UDP port in your screenshot is set to 300....

The Orion API endpoint /Invoke/Orion.Actions/SaveActionsForAssignments returning a 200 status code indicates the request was received, but the SNMP trap defaulting to SNMPv1 suggests SNMPv3-specific parameters (e.g., UserName, AuthProtocol, PrivPassword) may be missing or incorrectly set in the payload. Ensure all required SNMPv3 fields are included. This issue is similar to a case in the R2Park system, where successful responses masked incorrect configurations due to incomplete data. Reviewing the Orion SDK or SWQL Studio may help confirm the correct structure.
