Solarwinds rediscover API

lacie

I'm creating an automation for adding nodes using direct REST API calls, and it seems that sysname and caption don't appear unless I poll and rediscover. My issue is that PollNow and RediscoverNow API don't seem to be working, while from GUI it the pool now and rediscover button work immediately. Could it be that i need another API point? Or is there a certain sequence needed

Hi, sysname is updated by a rediscovery, that should be ran automatically every 30 min. Caption though is not updated by a pollNow or Rediscover. It's not a dynamic field but static.

Make sure the right pollers are added when you add the nodes via the API. That can also create issues.
