I have some custom code python and C# that I would like to send notification status to solarwinds SAM to report execution status. is this possible?

There are a few ways you could accomplish this:

add a syslog module and use that to send a custom message into SolarWinds (although filter your trap & syslog first! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zHP6xTg5QQ#t=1840)
Write the execution to a logfile and use SAM's log monitoring to pick up results
instantiate a perfmon counter and monitor that for status
Write to the Windows event log (preferably your own log within the structure) and monitor that

Do you need more options?

Thanks for the quick response.

so theSDK isn't really for creating notification/alerts?

i already created a syslog library and send alerts to our kiwi server but was hoping to use a dashboard in sam to show these notifications and alert on script failures.

I can easily use the windows events so this sounds like an option. if I wanted to monitor successful start and end of my script, should I do that using the powershell and monitor that using sam?

A Script Monitor in SAM would likely be your best option barring Syslog or SNMP Traps.

sounds even better. I will further investigate this option.

If they (syslog) are going to Kiwi, just pass the messages you want into SAM and you can alert on it from there.
