Thanks

I found it

the groupID is int32 paremeter, set the id and now it's fine-

if anybody needs it, here's the code
:

Invoke-SwisVerb $swis "Orion.Container" "AddDefinition" @(

# group ID ## int32 number

17,

# group member to add

([xml]"

<Name>NodeName</Name>

<Definition>$NodeUri</Definition>

</MemberDefinitionInfo>"

).DocumentElement

) | Out-Null

Hi,

You can find powershell samples for Groups manipulation @C:\Program Files (x86)\SolarWinds\Orion SDK\Samples\PowerShell\Groups.ps1 (Your SDK installed directory)

Thanks

i saw the folder and can't get it out from the script-

the "GroupID" in the example is for a new group

i want to add members to an existing group

if you know how to do it from the example there please cut and paste the right code,

any help is welcome

thanks

Hi,

Provided the code to add one or more members to a group. Here the you need to replace the bolded with groupid and uri / condition.

# ADDING A NEW GROUP MEMBER

Invoke-SwisVerb $swis "Orion.Container" "AddDefinition" @(

# group ID

$groupId,

# group member to add

([xml]"

<Name>Up Devices</Name>

<Definition>swis://xxx-xxxx-xxxx-01./Orion/Orion.Nodes/NodeID=1</Definition>

</MemberDefinitionInfo>"

).DocumentElement

) | Out-Null

=========================================================================

# ADDING MULTIPLE NEW GROUP MEMBERS

$members = @(

@{ Name = "Down Devices"; Definition = "filter:/Orion.Nodes[Status=2]" },

@{ Name = "Unreachable Devices"; Definition = "filter:/Orion.Nodes[Status=12]" }

)

Invoke-SwisVerb $swis "Orion.Container" "AddDefinitions" @(

# group ID

$groupId,

# group member to add

([xml]@(

"<ArrayOfMemberDefinitionInfo xmlns='http://schemas.solarwinds.com/2008/Orion'>",

[string]($members |% {

"<MemberDefinitionInfo><Name>$($_.Name)</Name><Definition>$($_.Definition)</Definition></MemberDefinitionInfo>"

}

"</ArrayOfMemberDefinitionInfo>"

)).DocumentElement

) | Out-Null
