Utilizing API to add nodes

anthony.hoelscher

Greetings,

I have been working on implementing a new way to add nodes to monitoring within our environment utilizing powershell and the solarwinds API. I have come across an issue where response time does not incorporate with the node that  i add via script, but the traditional manner of adding icmp nodes, it does work. i am curious if anyone has any insight as to what i may be missing to make this work?

Here is my function to add a node.

function add-node{

# add a node
$newNodeProps = @{
  EntityType="Orion.Nodes";
  DNS = $Fqdn;
  SysName = $ServerName;
  PolledStatus = 1;
  IPAddress=$ip;
  IsServer = $False;
  External = $false;
  Caption=$NodeCaption;
  DynamicIP=$False;
  EngineID=1;
  Status=1;
  UnManaged=$False;
  Allow64BitCounters=$True;
  SysObjectID="";
  MachineType="";
  VendorIcon="";
  ObjectSubType="ICMP";
  #SNMPVersion=2;
  Community="";
  # polling timing (optional)
  RediscoveryInterval=30; # minutes (5..525600=1 year)
  PollInterval=120; # seconds (1..1200)
  StatCollection=10; # minutes (1..600)
}

$newNodeCustProps= @{
   Address1 = $NodeAddress1;
  Address2 =  $NodeAddress2;
  AddressCity = $NodeCity;
  AddressCounty = $NodeCounty;
  AddressFacility = $location;
  Department = $nodeAgency;
  EM_Environment = $NodeEnvironment;
  EM_ServerMonitoringPriority = $NodeMonitoringPriority;
  EMCoreApp = $NodeEMCoreApp;
  EMNodeDown = $NodeEMCoreApp;
  Node_Type = $NodeType;
  Outage_Notification_To = $OutageNotificationTo;
  ServerServices_SLA = $ServerServices_SLA;
  Service_Level = $Service_Level;

}


$newNodeUri = New-SwisObject $swis –EntityType "Orion.Nodes" –Properties $newNodeProps
$nodeProps = Get-SwisObject $swis -Uri $newNodeUri
$newNodeUriN = $newNodeUri + "/CustomProperties"
#$newNodeFQDNURI =$newNodeUri + "Fqdn"
$mute = Set-SwisObject $swis -Uri $newNodeUriN -Properties $newNodeCustProps -Verbose
#$mute = Set-SwisObject $swis -Uri $newNodeFQDNURI -Properties $newNodeFQDN -Verbose

# register specific pollers for the node
$poller = @{
  NetObject="N:"+$nodeProps["NodeID"];
  NetObjectType="N";
  NetObjectID=$nodeProps["NodeID"];
}



 $nodeSettings = @{
            NodeID = $nodeID
            SettingName = "Core.WebBrowseTemplate"
            SettingValue = "http://{{ HrefIPAddress }}"
        }                                                                                   # Add NodeID, WebBrowseTemplate, and SSH Port
        $mute = New-SwisObject $swis "Orion.NodeSettings" $nodeSettings                     # Set the new settings from above    
        $nodeSettings["SettingName"] = "NodeSettings.SSH.Port"                              # Set the node SettingName property
        $nodeSettings["SettingValue"] = "22"                                                # Set the node SettingValue property
        $mute = New-SwisObject $swis "Orion.NodeSettings" $nodeSettings  


         $poller = @{
                        NetObject = "N:" + $nodeID
                        NetObjectType = "N"
                        NetObjectID = $nodeID
                    }

        $poller["PollerType"]="N.Status.ICMP.Native";                                       # Set the type property
                    $mute = New-SwisObject $swis "Orion.Pollers" $poller                                # Send the poller data to Orion

                    # Response time
                    $poller["PollerType"]="N.ResponseTime.ICMP.Native";                                 # Add this property to the poller
                    $mute = New-SwisObject $swis "Orion.Pollers" $poller                                # Send the poller data to Orion


# Details
$poller["PollerType"]="N.Details.SNMP.Generic";
$pollerUri = New-SwisObject $swis -EntityType "Orion.Pollers" -Properties $poller
# Uptime
$poller["PollerType"]="N.Uptime.SNMP.Generic";
$pollerUri = New-SwisObject $swis -EntityType "Orion.Pollers" -Properties $poller


}
