Python - listing/adding resources to agent polled node

Hi Everyone,

We have a vm template that has the agent installed on the system already. Once a system is provisioned, our C.M. activates the agent and it shows up in Orion but with no resources listed.

I am trying to figure out how to perform the same functions as list resources would, from research I am guessing I would have to do a discovery on the node but everything is based on SNMP that I see. End goal is being able to programmatically add/remove resources ( volumes, interfaces, cpu/mem) for a agent polled node thats already in Orion.

Thanks for any help.

Do you have the "Automatically create node" option enabled in "Global Agent Settings"? If so, it should set up monitoring automatically when the new agent registers with the Orion server.

Yes, It is set to auto create node. So it is adding the node into Orion but none of the resources are selected. I use the below to get the nodeid of the created node but no clue how to get it to list the resources. I saw the examples for network interfaces but I need I dont know how to add volumes

def orionGetNodeID(swis,nodeName, nodeIP):
   """
Gets the NodeID using swis query to select the top node. To handle IP agnostic enviroments we filter on caption and Ip_address
   :param swis:
   :param nodeName:
   :param nodeIP:
   :return:
"""
   nodeID = swis.query("""
SELECT TOP 1
n.NodeID
FROM
Orion.Nodes n
WHERE n.caption=\'{}\' and n.ip_address=\'{}\' """.format(nodeName,nodeIP))
rowLen=len(nodeID['results'])
multipleID=[]
   for row in nodeID['results']:
   if rowLen >1:
multipleID.append("{NodeID} ".format(**row))
nodeID=multipleID
   else:
nodeID="{NodeID} ".format(**row)
   print(nodeID)
   return nodeID

Unfortunately we don't have an API equivalent for the "List Resources" screen.

So currently is there any way that I could add volumes then when an node is polled with an agent.
