Soalrwinds API to Monitor Node Status

DN

Hi Fellow Members,

Good Day!

I am trying to monitor the status of nodes monitored through Solarwinds using API from a different tool, is it possible?

How to use that API to get status and all the node details like custom property values, etc.

Thanks in Advance.

Adding on here mainly to point out that the SolarWinds API has a number of methods to access it. Depends on your use case, how you need to access the data and what you intend to do with it. Many people utilize PowerShell scripts to interact with the SolarWinds Orion API using SwisPowerShell, however you can also use and I've used myself Python, Perl and the REST API. I may have missed some but you get the idea. 

Below I've added a number of helpful links. I find myself consistently referencing the documentation below.

Cheers!
