Adding ICMP node results in permanently grey node

awesomeaustin123

Hello, I'm having an issue where adding any ICMP node results in a permanently grey node using Python Orion SDK. Adding a node via SNMP using Orion SDK results in no issues. I've already found and tried the solutions listed in:

https://thwack.solarwinds.com/product-forums/the-orion-platform/f/orion-sdk/38189/issue-with-adding-an-icmp-only-node-using-python-sdk/205237#205237 including using different Engine ID's.

Here is how I'm adding my ICMP node (I've reformatted my code for this question so there may be syntax issues but please ignore).

props = {
        'IPAddress': IPAddress,
        'EngineID': engine_id,
        'DisplayName': DisplayName,
         'DNS': '',
        'SysName': '',
        'ObjectSubType': 'ICMP',
        }

swis.create('Orion.Nodes', **props)


pollers_to_enable += [
            'N.Status.ICMP.Native', 
            'N.ResponseTime.ICMP.Native'
            ]
pollers = []
    for k in pollerslist:
        pollers.append(
            {
                'PollerType': k,
                'NetObject': 'N:' + NodeID,
                'NetObjectType': 'N',
                'NetObjectID': NodeID,
                'Enabled': pollerslist[k]
            }
        )
    for poller in pollers:
        swis.create('Orion.Pollers', **poller)

The node is created and fine and everything the status on it just doesn't change, but on the other hand when adding nodes via SNMP using the SDK it is perfectly fine and turns green when I poll it instantly.

Thank you for everyone's help.

Hi again everyone, I've just discovered a logical error in my script. I guess lesson learnt the first thing you do after checking your work is to check again.

After you enable the ICMP pollers:

'N.Status.ICMP.Native'
'N.ResponseTime.ICMP.Native'

There shouldn't be an issue with the grey nodes.

Thanks everyone for your time.
