windows VM added to Nodes through API is not being polled

pavankovela

The windows machine added through the API is not polled though it is list in the manage nodes. I have rediscovered it also. when i tried to list the resources it says node may be down / credentials not valid. Please guide me how to get this resolved. Here is the code. when I am trying to add the node through the UI for windows machine through WMI/ICMP option it asks for admin credentials , how to specify that option when adding node through API.

PropertyBag nodeProps = new PropertyBag();

nodeProps.put("EntityType", "Orion.Nodes");

nodeProps.put("IPAddress","xy.xy.yy.ui");

nodeProps.put("Caption", "BLB44CEHSYMR1");

nodeProps.put("DynamicIP", false);

nodeProps.put("EngineID", 1);

nodeProps.put("Status", 1);

nodeProps.put("UnManaged", false);

nodeProps.put("Vendor", "Windows");

nodeProps.put("Allow64BitCounters", true);

nodeProps.put("ObjectSubType", "WMI");

nodeProps.put("SysObjectID", "");

nodeProps.put("MachineType", "");

nodeProps.put("VendorIcon", "");

final String uri = swis.create("Orion.Nodes", nodeProps.getAsSoapPropertyBag());

String strNodeId = queryScalar(swis, "SELECT NodeID FROM Orion.Nodes WHERE Uri=@uri", new PropertyBag() {{ put("uri", uri); }});

int nodeId = Integer.parseInt(strNodeId);

PropertyBag pollerProps = new PropertyBag();

pollerProps.put("NetObject", "N:" + nodeId);

pollerProps.put("NetObjectType", "N");

pollerProps.put("NetObjectID", nodeId);

pollerProps.put("PollerType", "N.Status.ICMP.Native");

swis.create("Orion.Pollers", pollerProps.getAsSoapPropertyBag());

pollerProps.put("PollerType", "N.ResponseTime.ICMP.Native");

swis.create("Orion.Pollers", pollerProps.getAsSoapPropertyBag());

pollerProps.put("PollerType", "N.Details.WMI.Vista");

swis.create("Orion.Pollers", pollerProps.getAsSoapPropertyBag());

pollerProps.put("PollerType", "N.Uptime.WMI.XP");

swis.create("Orion.Pollers", pollerProps.getAsSoapPropertyBag());

pollerProps.put("PollerType", "N.Cpu.WMI.Windows");

swis.create("Orion.Pollers", pollerProps.getAsSoapPropertyBag());

pollerProps.put("PollerType", "N.Memory.WMI.Windows");

swis.create("Orion.Pollers", pollerProps.getAsSoapPropertyBag());

pollerProps.put("PollerType", "N.AssetInventory.Wmi.Generic");

swis.create("Orion.Pollers", pollerProps.getAsSoapPropertyBag());

My guess is that your node is incomplete due to missing credentials. You can try to fix it manually assigning credentials via Node Edit page.

You can get OrionSDK (e.g. https://github.com/solarwinds/OrionSDK/archive/v2.0.50.zip​) that includes sample scripts and you may find some inspiration there - especially in "CRUD.AddWmiNode.ps1".
