Lots of good posts on this on Thwack, most here: (+) Orion SDK - The Orion Platform - THWACK (solarwinds.com)
If you don't have the SDK: https://github.com/solarwinds/OrionSDK install it to get the PowerShell module and SWQL studio.

Maybe a video will help: (+) (Episode #86) Orion SDK 101: Intro to PowerShell and the Orion API - SolarWinds Lab Archive - SolarWinds Lab - THWACK

If you search the forum, most of what you want to find will have examples, also look at some of the queries or modern dashboards in the Content exchange.

One example question that was answered is at:
(+) Node and Alert SWQL - link a node and an applicable alert via custom query - Forum - Network Performance Monitor (NPM) - THWACK (solarwinds.com)

Typically once you get started from the existing materials we can assist ironing out the details if needed.
