Error during Discovery using Discovery API

faizan_123

Hello,

We wanted to create a discovery profile using api.

We used Discovery · solarwinds/OrionSDK Wiki · GitHub  to create the discovery profile.

The code is as follows :-

$CorePluginConfigurationContext = ([xml]"

<CorePluginConfigurationContext xmlns='http://schemas.solarwinds.com/2012/Orion/Core' xmlns:i='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'>

    <BulkList>

        <IpAddress>

            <Address>192.168.3.4</Address>

        </IpAddress>

        <IpAddress>

            <Address>10.10.10.2</Address>

        </IpAddress>

    </BulkList>

    <Credentials>

        <SharedCredentialInfo>

            <CredentialID>3</CredentialID>

            <Order>1</Order>

        </SharedCredentialInfo>

    </Credentials>

    <WmiRetriesCount>1</WmiRetriesCount>

    <WmiRetryIntervalMiliseconds>1000</WmiRetryIntervalMiliseconds>

</CorePluginConfigurationContext>

").DocumentElement

$CorePluginConfiguration = Invoke-SwisVerb $swis Orion.Discovery CreateCorePluginConfiguration @($CorePluginConfigurationContext)

$InterfacesPluginConfigurationContext = ([xml]"

<InterfacesDiscoveryPluginContext xmlns='http://schemas.solarwinds.com/2008/Interfaces'

    <AutoImportVirtualTypes>

        <a:string>Virtual</a:string>

    </AutoImportVlanPortTypes>

    <UseDefaults>true</UseDefaults>

</InterfacesDiscoveryPluginContext>

").DocumentElement

$InterfacesPluginConfiguration = Invoke-SwisVerb $swis Orion.NPM.Interfaces CreateInterfacesPluginConfiguration @($InterfacesPluginConfigurationContext)

$EngineID = 1

$DeleteProfileAfterDiscoveryCompletes = "false"

$StartDiscoveryContext = ([xml]"

</StartDiscoveryContext>

End

The problem is that when the discovery is completed the nodes are getting created but the interfaces are not being imported.

When we looked into database table Orion.Discoverylogs

it is showing Result as 3 , Resultdescription as Import failed and ErrorMessage as UnknownError

Any help would be appriciated.

Hi @tdanner  & @faizan_123 

I was also having issues with discovering interfaces via PowerShell script. Interface plugin was being ignored with every attempt.

I have found a workaround with injecting SQL XML discovery format into the script. I described the steps in below post:
