Discover and Add Interfaces

garystorr

Hi, 

I'm using the 'DiscoverAndAddInterfacesOnNode' script from Github.

# The node ID to discovery interfaces on
$nodeId = 99

# Discover interfaces on the node
$discovered = Invoke-SwisVerb $swis Orion.NPM.Interfaces DiscoverInterfacesOnNode $nodeId

if ($discovered.Result -ne "Succeed") {
Write-Host "Interface discovery failed."
} else {
# Uncomment one of the following to limit the interfaces that get added:

# No. 1: Remove interfaces that are NOT ifType 6 (FastEthernet)
#$discovered.DiscoveredInterfaces.DiscoveredLiteInterface | ?{ $_.ifType -ne 6 } | %{ $discovered.DiscoveredInterfaces.RemoveChild($_) | Out-Null }

# No. 2: Remove interfaces that have a caption of 'lo' (Loopback)
#$discovered.DiscoveredInterfaces.DiscoveredLiteInterface | ?{ $_.Caption.InnerText -eq 'lo' } | %{ $discovered.DiscoveredInterfaces.RemoveChild($_) | Out-Null }

# No. 3: Remove interfaces that are down
$discovered.DiscoveredInterfaces.DiscoveredLiteInterface | ?{ $_.status -ne 1 } | %{ $discovered.DiscoveredInterfaces.RemoveChild($_) | Out-Null }

# Add the remaining interfaces
Invoke-SwisVerb $swis Orion.NPM.Interfaces AddInterfacesOnNode @($nodeId, $discovered.DiscoveredInterfaces, "AddDefaultPollers") | Out-Null
}

I'm trying to work out where the variables are located to define which interfaces to remove from the discovery? The above examples give 'IfType' and 'Caption.innerText' but i was wondering what other variables i can use. For Example I'd like to remove anything that wasn't Up but i can't find where these are listed to work out the correct option. 

Any help would be appreciated. 

Thanks

You need to go through  all the json object returned by the discovery and create an array filtering out anything with status == 1. That way will help you to remove anything that wasn't "UP"
