Unable to pass array of int32 to ClearAlert using Powershell

AllenBarnard

Hi guys, 

I am unable to pass array of int32 to ClearAlert using Powershell. Here is my code.

$swis = Connect-Swis -Hostname -Username -Password 

$ObjectIds = 7 

$intArray = New-Object int[] 1 

$intArray[0] = $ObjectIds 

Invoke-SwisVerb $swis Orion.AlertActive ClearAlert @($intArray)

The above script returns the error:

Invoke-SwisVerb : Verb Orion.AlertActive.ClearAlert cannot unpackage parameter 0 of type System.Int32[]

I am able to successfully use ClearAlert using the REST by sending this JSON body '{"alertObjectIds":[7]}', but I would prefer to be able to clear it using SwisPowershell.  

Thanks for reading I hope someone can help.

Hey there, this is PowerShell trying to be helpful with the flattening of arrays of arrays. To force it to remain an array of integers, you'll have to do this:

Invoke-SwisVerb $swis Orion.AlertActive ClearAlert @(, [int[]]$intArray)

 I want to say it was @tdanner who wrote this footer in the SolarWinds Wiki, but give it a look at the bottom of this page:
