Mute Alerts via API schedule

Prineel

Hi there, would it be possible to mute alerts based on external schedules made available via API?

https://eskomsepush.gumroad.com/l/api

Looking to automatically mute alerts on nodes based on the planned power outage schedules.

Thanks

#Edit this path for your environment. The odelistfile is a listf IP addresses c:\powershellscripts\nodelist.txt
#Plave your orion server name where shown as YOURORIONSERVER

CLS
Add-PSSnapin SwisSnapin
$swis = Connect-Swis -host YOURORIONSERVER -Trusted

$now =[DateTime]::Now
$later =$now.AddMinutes(5)

$entityUris = Get-SwisData $swis "SELECT Uri FROM Orion.Nodes WHERE IPAddress IN @IPAddress" @{IPAddress=(Get-Content c:\powershellscripts\nodelist.txt)}
$entityUris = @( $entityUris | % {[string]$_} )
Invoke-SwisVerb $swis Orion.AlertSuppression SuppressAlerts @($entityUris, $now, $later ) | Out-Null

Thanks @bobmarley will look into this.

Thanks @adam.beedell

Question, would this involve doing a GET for the API schedule then POST via SWIS to make the change?

Probably:

Auth to your api
GET schedule

Process data

Auth to Solarwinds

GET nodes
POST updated schedule
