Hi banjola,

you will need a python version of Orion SDK, which is available here:

https://github.com/solarwinds/orionsdk-python

In order to create an application monitor, a SWIS verb needs to be invoked. Here is an example of how to invoke some SWIS verb from python:

https://github.com/solarwinds/orionsdk-python/blob/master/samples/unmanage_node.py

The verb which you need to call is CreateApplication of Orion.APM.Application entity.

In this article: https://thwack.solarwinds.com/docs/DOC-177749

you can find a PowerShell script where you can look-up how to invoke CreateApplication and supply it with arguments. It should be straightforward to express that in python.

Let me know if some more help is needed.
