check CPU & Memory option for a node using API

hmoukanni

Hi,

I am using SolarWinds Orion API to create a node , discover and add interfaces.

I don't know which API to use to check The CPU & Memory option in the List Resources for the node.

It's not an API, it's a "poller" as defined in the API. There are many available, but what I've always done is to find a similar (identical if possible) device and use it's list of poppers as a template. Then just add them with the other element's Node ID.

Good Morning,

I did create a node using POST /SolarWinds/InformationService/v3/Json/Create/Orion.Nodes
then I go t alist of interfaces using POST /SolarWinds/InformationService/v3/Json/Invoke/Orion.NPM.Interfaces/DiscoverInterfacesOnNode this will return all the interfaces then I choose the interface that are up and use : POS /SolarWinds/InformationService/v3/Json/Invoke/Orion.NPM.Interfaces/AddInterfacesOnNode

when I use the solarwinds UI by clicking on the List Resources : I can see the selected interfaces chosen but I want also the CPU & Memory option checked let me know which pollers to use ???

Thanks.

Hamid.

This will depend on the type of device added. Like I said, your best bet is to find a device of the same type that you can use as a "template" and then query for what pollers are enabled.

SELECT [Nodes].MachineType
     , [Nodes].Caption
     , [Pollers].PollerType
     , [Pollers].NetObject
     , [Pollers].NetObjectType
     , [Pollers].NetObjectID
     , [Pollers].Enabled
FROM Orion.Pollers AS [Pollers]
INNER JOIN Orion.Nodes AS [Nodes]
  ON [Nodes].NodeID = [Pollers].NetObjectID
-- Only show node-based pollers
WHERE [Pollers].NetObjectType = 'N'
ORDER BY [Nodes].Description
       , [Nodes].Caption
       , [Pollers].PollerType

Down on line 38 of orionsdk-python/add_node.py at master · solarwinds/orionsdk-python (github.com) it shows how to build the pollers. (I'm assuming you are using python from the endpoints you are describing)
