Looking for Orion API features - Windows & Linux

Hello there,

we are trying to create some automations via Solarwinds's API, the problem is, i could never find any book or any description what i can do, or what are the URLs or Body to begin with.

Does anyone care to explain is such thing is even possible? or everyone around the world just guessing stuff?

We did one Automation via API on IPAM but thats because we found some trails around the internet.

the thing is we want to do the same from linux machine or even more stuff but we dont know where to begin.

much appriciate if anyway can direct me to some doc regarding that matter, and im not talking about powershell only.

im talking about curl as well (both would be good)

Thanks in advance.

I think the first place to look is the Solarwinds/OrionSDK Wiki on GitHub. From here you will find information on using the REST API endpoints, along with other information sources. For more specific details you can reference the SolarWinds Information Service v3.0 Schema Documentation.

I'm sure there are more sources for information, but these are my starting places.

I will try to add some links to get you started:

GitHub - solarwinds/OrionSDK: SDK for the SolarWinds Orion platform, including tools, documentation, and samples in PowerShell, C#, Go, Perl, and Java. download the sdk. It can help output your statements. As you can export queries to curl/powershell.

Orion SDK Information (solarwinds.com) barebones kb article.

It is moving from port 17778 to 17774 currently. The most recent orionsdk supports the newer port.
