Solarwinds API integration with Thingsboard

Hi,

I would like to send sensor data (temperature & humidity) from my IoT Thingsboard platform to Solarwinds. Has anyone come across this scenario? I was told that this can be done using API.

Thanks

Jayson

Either the API monitors function or the SAM script monitors function are good for this.

Does this mean that I only need to use the functions on SolarWinds side and nothing on the Thingsboard platform?

You would need to expose the queries (I assume REST? ) so that your polling engine can talk to it. Assuming its rest, I would validate the queries to Thingsboard using curl or Postman and see that you can connect, and that you get back usage replies. Then I would use that config in Orion, both those function to read API data or top script a monitor live in SAM.

You posted in the Orion API forum, and the API that Orion provides allows you to get data or interact with Orion programmatically, that SDK doesn't know systems at all.

In addition to what JM's said below, which is correct, i'd think about it like this:

Get the data -> Put it in Solariwnds -> Take actions off it

That workflow works for most stuff, to expand, in this case:

Command that gets the data (This'll be on the thingboard)
-> Put that in solarwinds (This is the stuff I mentioned above)
-> Do stuff (Up to you what that is)

Thanks for the responses. However, can you provide me what exactly those steps would look like? e.g.

Command that gets the data (This'll be on the thingboard) - what and where do I put it?
-> Put that in solarwinds (This is the stuff I mentioned above) - what and where do I put it?

Sorry for the dumb questions, but I'm new to API configurations.
