How to set select a custom property field using the SDK

Question

Hello,

I am trying to leverage the example PS script to automate the setting of custom properties of my environment however I have a question about the example.  Here is the example:

$nodeId=8 # NodeID of a node which custom properties you want to change

# prepare a custom property value

$customProps = @{

Comments="Custom comment";

}

build the node URI

$uri = "swis://localhost/Orion/Orion.Nodes/NodeID=$nodeId/CustomProperties";

# set the custom property

Set-SwisObject $swis -Uri $uri -Properties $customProps

However this example doesn't illustrate how to select the custom property column you want to set.  How would I do this?  Thank you!!

Actually it is there ;-) By the node uri + '/CustomProperties' you access the CustomProperties space for that specific node. The custom property name and value you define in that $customProps hashtable. Comments is here the custom property name and "Custom comment" is the value you're setting. So in your case you set the custom property Comments for node with NodeId=8 to the value "Custom comment". You can in the hashtable even modify more custom properties at once. E.g.:

$customProps = @{

Comments="Custom comment";

City="Brno";

MuteAlert=$true;

DateModified=get-date;

}
