Has anyone tried using the API with Powershell ?

guruN

I'm trying to use the API with Powershell to get all alerts. I see PS examples in the documentation to do things like that's documented here https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/dpa/content/dpa-powershell-script-examples.htm , but none to "Get" alerts. If anyone can point me to the right resource/documentation to do this, I would very much appreciate it. The "GET" alerts is published in the swagger interface, but that seems to be using python code(Screenshot attached)

Hi

At the end the structure is more or less the same as mentioned in the documentation.

1. Get the token https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/dpa/content/dpa-powershell-script-examples.htm#Get
2. Get the x-objects ( https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/dpa/content/dpa-powershell-script-examples.htm#Database )
   You just have to change the "$monitorURL" to point to the alerts. The url can be retrieved from the Swagger documentation.

If I got you right then something like that. Not tested:

## CHANGE

$baseURL = "https://localhost:8124/iwc/api/"



## get the token code...



## CHECK

$monitorURL = $baseURL + "alerts"

Try {

  Write-Host "Get all alerts."

  $monitorListJSON = Invoke-RestMethod -Method Get -Uri $monitorURL -Headers $dpaHeader -TimeoutSec 60

  $monitorList = $monitorListJSON.data

  $monitorList | Format-Table -AutoSize

}

Catch {

  $_.Exception.ToString()

}
