Removing discovered Volumes via the Orion SDK (Python)

jmonjackson

Hi All,

I’ve observed that volumes are automatically imported during API interface discovery. Is there a way to disable or prevent this volume discovery behavior?

# Code to Discover Interfaces - Appears there is a bug because the interface filter doesn't work

int_results = swis.invoke('Orion.NPM.Interfaces', 'DiscoverInterfacesOnNode', node_id)

ge_only = [x for x in int_results['DiscoveredInterfaces'] if x['Caption'].startswith('G')]

int_results2 = swis.invoke('Orion.NPM.Interfaces', 'AddInterfacesOnNode', node_id, ge_only, 'AddNoPollers')

# Options:
# 'AddDefaultPollers' - applies the default pollers for the interface type.
# 'AddAllPollers' - applies all available pollers.
# 'AddNoPollers' - does not apply any pollers.

List of Volumes I would like to remove:

Virtual memory

Memory buffers

Cached memory

Shared memory

Swap space

I figured it out

def remove_unnecessary_volumes(hostname, instance):
    swis = SwisClient(instance, username, password)
    try:
        swis_query2 = swis.query("""
        SELECT v.Uri, v.Node.SysName
        FROM Orion.Volumes AS v
        WHERE v.Node.SysName = '{}'""".format(hostname))
        # pprint(swis_query2['results'])
        for volume in swis_query2['results']:
            volume_uri = volume['Uri']
            swis.delete(volume_uri)

    except requests.exceptions.RequestException:
        pprint(f"Request failed for instance {instance}")
        return []
