This verb expects one argument, the job id. So you would call it from python like this:

swis.invoke('Cirrus.NCM_NCMJobs', 'GetJob', 18)

If you change this from "swis.invoke" to "swis.query" does it work the way you expect?

Sorry, that was a partial answer. It looks like you're mixing syntax. You would just use swis.query(jobs_query).

Thankyou,

When I then run GetJobLog

swis.invoke('Cirrus.NCM_NCMJobs', 'GetJobLog', 18)

it expects two arguments, where am I able to find out what each function expects to be sent?

requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 400 Client Error: Verb Cirrus.NCM_NCMJobs.GetJobLog requires 2 parameters not 1 for url: solarwinds-orion:17778/.../GetJobLog

What im trying to do is to get the output per node that I run the job on, assuming that I will be able to get this via GetJobLog?

Thanks

The second parameter for GetJobLog is a boolean that indicates what it should do when the log is greater than 1 MB. true -> return an error message if the log is larger than 1 MB. false -> return the job log regardless of size.

Thankyou,

that works,

is it possible to filter these results to show only one node and one datetime that this job run against?

currently, when I print it out the log I get all nodes and all occurrences of the job log

Thanks again
