We upgraded to Orion 2019.4 earlier this year. One of the biggest reasons for doing so was that the release notes showed an item:
- Orion SDK enhancements: Automate ‘List Resources’ and import results
https://documentation.solarwinds.com/en/success_center/orionplatform/Content/Release_Notes/Orion_Platform_2019-4_release_notes.htm#NewFeaturesOrion
There is no link to any information about how this is accomplished. I do not see any documentation at all. However, I did stumble across an API example which I think was supposed to be an example here:
https://github.com/solarwinds/OrionSDK/blob/master/Samples/PowerShell/ImportListResources.ps1
This script does not really have any explanation or comments about what it is doing or why. However, it fails on every node even if I set the timeout to 8000.
PS C:\it> .\ImportListResources.ps1 $swis 254 60

Does anyone know of some better documentation on this process? When new nodes are added, i want to make sure that the resources like drives are monitored automatically. Manually adding resources to a node through a web pages which takes minutes for each one is a big waste of time if can be automated.
Thanks!
