Hi chasemanz@northwesternmutual.com - Can you please respond to Naveen.

We automate the interface upkeep of our nodes based on interface patterns. Basically deviceX should have these interfaces monitored, so confirm only these interfaces are monitored in solarwinds for that node.

As part of that process, when we discover that interfaces should be monitored on a node, but are not, we need to add them.

This command triggers discovery to identify what interfaces are available to be monitored on a device.

swis.invoke("Orion.NPM.Interfaces", "DiscoverInterfacesOnNode", nodeid)

swis is our solarwinds connection via the orionsdk

For snmpv2c nodes, this returns a list of interfaces that we can work with.

For snmpv3 nodes, there are no interfaces returned. This has been true on 100% of the snmpv3 nodes we have tried against.

Node snmpv3 credentials work fine as you can manually add/remove interfaces in the gui. As far as I have been able to find, there is no different way I need to discover interfaces on an snmpv3 managed node.
