Hello,
I am looking to hook ServiceNow into our Solarwinds application so that we can push maintenance windows automatically based on created tickets. I can poll all the variables through the API on the SN side, so it won't be a problem pushing the applicable data to the SW API for unmanaging. I'm aware I can use the SW API to unmanage a node, and I was able to find the standard way of doing so using the Windows tool / task scheduler - https://support.solarwinds.com/Success_Center/Network_Performance_Monitor_(NPM)/Scheduling_Unmanage_Task_for_Nodes,_Interfaces_and_Applications - but, this lacks the ability for automation, and will also overwrite any one-off windows I need to create.
At this point, it seems I'll need to build a custom scheduler that will account for the reoccurring schedule, and also the one-off maint. schedule. I'm fairly new to SW so I might be missing something simple. Does anyone have advice / input on how they're accomplishing this in their environment?
Thank you.
