Is it possible to create an alert trigger action that will force 'poll now' the actual object that triggered the alert?

Yes.

...

run a program (e.g. a powershell script) when the alert triggers Pass in the nodeid of the triggering object

cause it to invoke Orion.Nodes.PollNow(objectid) API

e.g. see Re: Orion SDK 2.0 released on GitHub

I'm going to note, that if you're trying to figure out of the node is really down then this is a bad idea.

SWO actually goes into a rapid-ping mode if the regular poll does not work to determine if it is really down, forcing to ti check immediately really is not going to help because SWO will almost certainly have polled again before your node-down check runs again on its own, and so the alert will not clear any faster than you think it will.

Thank you for the input.

The idea is actually to run a forced poll now against down SAM component monitors and WPM transaction monitors.

Will the Orion SDK forced poll now approach be possible for SAM component monitors and WPM transaction monitors?
