Bulk add HTTPS Monitors

mcbridea

Hi all,

Has anyone found a way to bulk add HTTP or HTTS URL monitors? We have several external servers that need add dozens of URL moinitors to each.

Andy, this can be done with the Orion SDK. Likely using PowerShell to do that would be your best approach.

On November 13th, we'll be presenting a SolarWinds Lab episode specifically about the SDK, with some practical examples of how it can be used. One of the things I'll demonstrate is how to assign an application template to a node, and remove an assigned application from a node, using PowerShell.

Adding/removing component monitors to an application or application template will be very similar. In your particular scenario, it may even be that you create a new application template with the several monitors you need (assuming they are the same monitors for every system), and then assign that application template to the list of nodes.
