Hoping someone can help.
I will caveat this by saying I can do this is powershell but I don't want to have to while the data is present inside the API Poller
Issue:
I have an API poller looking for "Alerts", It brings back the current alerts present in the system.
My issue lays in the fact I also need the data contained in the response. Level and Description.
I can click monitor however that monitors at the path: $.[1].['Level'] and then path: $.[2].['Level']
This is an issue as the alarms could change. Today I have 17 and I could in theory set all 17 to monitor but what if tomorrow I have 52.
Question:
So my question is I only want to directly monitor the Root which is the number of alarms (17) but I need to be able to also see what's further in and be able to say, So alarms are 17 but only fire and alert in solarwinds when Level is = error and description doesn't contain VPG
I have looked through the DB and don't see anywhere where Solarwinds store all the extra info. But it's imensly fustrating as the info is there and viable when I send the request.
Does anyone know if I just couldn't find where it's kept or a way round this while using the API poller and not having to revert to PS or Python to do it.
