SDK: Adding Node - SNMPV3PrivKeyIsPwd & SNMPV3AuthKeyIsPwd = FALSE

bhumphrey

I'm attempting to add an SNMPv3 node using:

$newNodeProps = @{
                        EntityType = 'Orion.Nodes'
                        EngineID = $nodeToAdd.EngineID;
                        DynamicIP = $false;
                        IPAddress = $nodeToAdd.IPAddress;
                        IPAddressGUID = $nodeToAdd.IPAddressGUID;
                        ObjectSubType = "SNMP";
                        #ROSNMPCredentialID = $nodeToAdd.CredentialID;
                        SNMPVersion = $nodeToAdd.SnmpVersion;
                        SNMPV3Username = $credential.securityName;
                        SNMPV3PrivMethod = $credential.privProtocol;
                        SNMPV3PrivKey = $credential.privPassword;
                        SNMPV3PrivKeyIsPwd = $(if($credential.SNMPV3PrivKeyIsPwd -eq 'false'){$false}else{$true});
                        SNMPV3AuthMethod = $credential.authProtocol;
                        SNMPV3AuthKey = $credential.authPassword;
                        SNMPV3AuthKeyIsPwd = $(if($credential.SNMPV3AuthKeyIsPwd -eq 'false'){$false}else{$true});
                        DNS = $nodeToAdd.DNS;
                        SysName = $nodeToAdd.SysName;
                        Caption = $nodeToAdd.SysName;
                        SysObjectID = $nodeToAdd.SysObjectID;
                        Vendor = $nodeToAdd.Vendor;
                        VendorIcon = $nodeToAdd.VendorIcon;
                        MachineType = $nodeToAdd.MachineType;
                        Location = $nodeToAdd.Location;
                        Contact = $nodeToAdd.Contact;
                        NodeDescription = $nodeToAdd.SysDescription;
                    }
$newNodeUri = New-SwisObject $swisConnection -EntityType "Orion.Nodes" -Properties $newNodeProps

The $nodeToAdd variable is coming from Orion.DiscoveredNodes. The $credential variable is a CSV I created with our SNMPv3 credentials. When the SNMPV3PrivKeyIsPwd and SNMPV3AuthKeyIsPwd values are set to $false, they DO indeed show up in the database as false (Orion.SNMPv3Credentials), but when I edit the node page, they show up as 'Password is a key' checked (i.e. true). If I test without any changes, it fails. If I uncheck the 'Password is a key' box and test again, it's successful. It's like it's not accepting the value in that field on the newNodeProps. I checked the Out-String values on the newNodeProps and it's showing:

SNMPV3PrivKeyIsPwd     False

SNMPV3AuthKeyIsPwd    False

Am I doing something wrong or is this possibly a bug?

Big thanks for Gian at tech support for going above and beyond here (seeing that the SDK isn't supported by tech support), but as he and I were talking through it, I realized that the value of 'True' in the database (Orion.SNMPv3Credentials for both SNMPV3PrivKeyIsPwd and SNMPV3AuthKeyIsPwd) was being misinterpreted on my part. 

When the value in the database is 'True' it's unchecked on the UI. When it's false, it's checked on the UI. Once I realized that, I updated my credential and re-ran. It's working:

$newNodeProps = @{
    EntityType = 'Orion.Nodes'
    EngineID = $nodeToAdd.EngineID;
    DynamicIP = $false;
    IPAddress = $nodeToAdd.IPAddress;
    IPAddressGUID = $nodeToAdd.IPAddressGUID;
    ObjectSubType = "SNMP";
    #ROSNMPCredentialID = $nodeToAdd.CredentialID;
    SNMPVersion = $nodeToAdd.SnmpVersion;
    SNMPV3Username = $credential.securityName;
    SNMPV3PrivMethod = $credential.privProtocol;
    SNMPV3PrivKey = $credential.privPassword;
    SNMPV3PrivKeyIsPwd = $(if($credential.SNMPV3PrivKeyIsPwd.ToLower() -eq 'false'){$false}elseif($credential.SNMPV3PrivKeyIsPwd.ToLower() -eq 'true'){$true}else{'UNK'});
    SNMPV3AuthMethod = $credential.authProtocol;
    SNMPV3AuthKey = $credential.authPassword;
    SNMPV3AuthKeyIsPwd = $(if($credential.SNMPV3AuthKeyIsPwd.ToLower() -eq 'false'){$false}elseif($credential.SNMPV3PrivKeyIsPwd.ToLower() -eq 'true'){$true}else{'UNK'});
    DNS = $nodeToAdd.DNS;
    SysName = $nodeToAdd.SysName;
    Caption = $nodeToAdd.SysName;
    SysObjectID = $nodeToAdd.SysObjectID;
    Vendor = $nodeToAdd.Vendor;
    VendorIcon = $nodeToAdd.VendorIcon;
    MachineType = $nodeToAdd.MachineType;
    Location = $nodeToAdd.Location;
    Contact = $nodeToAdd.Contact;
    NodeDescription = $nodeToAdd.SysDescription;
}
