Update Alert Actions

philaries

Hello,

I was wondering if someone could help me, I'm looking at how you can update trigger actions as I want to update who the alert goes out to.

I can the see that there is an Orion.Actions.UpdateActionsDescriptions which would appear to be the one as the action is held in the description column. However I'm not sure how I build the XML string for this particular request, the SWQL Studio gives the following info:

<ArrayOfKeyValueOfNullableOfintstringRDHGY3MA xmlns:i="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/Arrays" />

I'm not sure what values actually need to be populated into this array though. e.g for acknowledging an alert you'd do:

<ArrayOfint xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/Arrays'>

                   <int>$($alert)</int>

              </ArrayOfint>

I've tried this:

<ArrayOfKeyValueOfNullableOfintstringRDHGY3MA xmlns:i='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' xmlns='http://schemas.microsoft.com/2003/10/Serialization/Arrays'>

                <int>138</int>

                <string>Email</string>

                <string>Test</string>

                <boolean>True</boolean>

                <int>1</int>

                <string>Send Level 1 SMS</string>

                </ArrayOfKeyValueOfNullableOfintstringRDHGY3MA>

Unfortunately I just an error:

Invoke-SwisVerb : Error occured while updating action descriptions.

Could anyone advise how I would do this?

Thanks

No matter i have sorted this, using the UpdateAction method.

$xml = "<ActionDefinition xmlns:i='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' xmlns='http://schemas.solarwinds.com/2008/Orion'><ActionProperties/>
