Change Node from ICMP to SNMP via the SDK/SWQL API?

c.gura

@tdanner,

I am trying to change a Node from ICMP to SNMP via the SDK/SWQL API via the REST calls.

I am using Perl. All the calls are working for other updates, but I am unable to update a Node to SNMP.

Here are the properties I am updating:

$machine_info->{ObjectSubType} = 'SNMP';

my $properties = {

SysObjectID => $machine_info->{SysObjectID},

Vendor => $machine_info->{Vendor},

SNMPVersion => 2,

VendorIcon => $machine_info->{VendorIcon},

NodeDescription => $machine_info->{NodeDescription},

ObjectSubType => $machine_info->{ObjectSubType},

Community => $comm_string,

};

$swqldb->update($uri, $properties);

When you say it's not working, what isn't working specifically? Is it showing up as SNMP but not polling? You do need to make an adjustment to the pollers that are enabled to make SNMP work vs. ICMP only. Do you remember setting up pollers when you added the node initially? Here's an example:

OrionSDK/CRUD.AddNode.ps1 at master · solarwinds/OrionSDK · GitHub

I know about the pollers and setting those up.

I am just trying to set the Node Properties that specify the node is now SNMP.

The node properties are not updating.

I have other calls to update the node properties that work just fine, but when I try doing this specifically to update the properties to change form ICMP to SNMP, it does not update.

Okay, so to be clear you're making changes to the pollers at the same time you're changing its polling method to ICMP or you're not?

I make changes to the node properties. I then make changes to the pollers. It is not done in the same call, as it is a different URI call and table that is updated.
