Bulk adding ranges to discovery task

simon.stone

Anyone know of a way of bulk adding ranges to a discovery task.

For example i want to scan a set of ranges:-

192.168.1.60 to 192.168.1.79
192.168.2.60 to 192.168.1.79
all the way to
192.168.254.60 to 192.168.254.79

And i don't really want to add 616 ranges by hand.

Take a look at scripting it: Discovery · solarwinds/OrionSDK Wiki · GitHub

Thanks for the info. I've read it and as much as i can understand i should be able to run the code below but when i try to build the core plugin configration first, it throws the error:-

Invoke-SwisVerb : The term 'Invoke-SwisVerb' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or
operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try
again.
