FEATURE REQUEST - How to import the Orion nodes name as well as the ip address from a csv file.

dns290

I need to import the Orion nodes name as well as the ip address from a csv file. Otherwise, I am going to have to manually enter the name one by one after network sonar completes the scan of the ip list.

Case Number: 00532229

I hope your SQL and other scripting skills are better than mine as with the base install of NPM this simply isn't achievable. You would need to install the SDK and be proficient in powershell or phyton or some other scripting language - details of all this are (so I believe and have been told) on the SDK wiki: https://github.com/solarwinds/OrionSDK but as my script abilities are sorely lacking I haven't dug into that side.Also, my company blocks access to GitHub so ...

That said, if the devcie has a name, and you are using SNMP then the name will auto-populate against the IP.

If you are saying these devices are IP only and you just want to assign a name in bulk, then this: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/t5/NPM-Documents/Bulk-Node-Name-Caption-Change/ta-p/513168 should work for you. I have used this a number of times.

The auto-populate the name bit for use depends on there being a DNS entry for the device. Otherwise the name doesn't populate.

But otherwise, when we do network scans, it is generally by only supplying the IP Address. We only do csv uploads to mass import custom properties.

This isn't too difficult using the SDK. However, you need to devote a little time. It mostly depends on if everything you are importing uses the same credentials. If it uses WMI or SNMPv2c, then it's not so bad. Not the easiest thing you'll do, but capable using the New-OrionNode function available in the SDK.
