BulkUpdate to Unmanage/Manage Devices using REST

etiedem

I see several answers to other questions that reference how to do this via Powershell and I've tried to replicate this in a Python script using the REST API.

{"uris": ["swis://server1.com/Orion/Orion.Nodes/NodeID=110"], "properties": {"UnmanageFrom": "2023-08-23", "UnmanageUntil": "2024-08-22"}}

The request comes back with a 200 response, but the device doesn't become unmanaged

I'm collecting the URI using:

SELECT N.Uri
FROM Orion.Nodes AS N
WHERE Caption LIKE '%device%'

Any advice would be appreciated. I've got this working using the /Invoke/Orion.Node/Unmanage endpoint but would rather not send a request per device.

Edit: After looking again it appears to be setting all of the interfaces to unmanaged rather than the node itself.

After further testing it looks like what I had previously did unmanaged the node, but didn't update the GUI to reflect that. Here are the steps for others:

1. Collect the URI

SELECT N.Uri
FROM Orion.Nodes AS N
WHERE Caption LIKE '%device%'

2. Update UnmanageFrom and UnmanageUntil

{"uris": ["swis://server1.com/Orion/Orion.Nodes/NodeID=110"], "properties": {"UnmanageFrom": "2023-08-23", "UnmanageUntil": "2024-08-22"}}

3. Update UnManaged and Status in a separate request. The API will send an error if you attempt this in the same buikupdate. This updates the GUI to give the option to remanage the device and shows the Unmanaged icon.

{"uris": ["swis://server1.com/Orion/Orion.Nodes/NodeID=110"], "properties": {"UnManaged": true, "Status": 9}}

To remanage the device steps 2 and 3 have to be reversed.

1. Collect the URI

SELECT N.Uri
FROM Orion.Nodes AS N
WHERE Caption LIKE '%device%'

2. Update UnManaged and Status in a separate request. The API will send an error if you attempt this in the same buikupdate. This updates the GUI to give the option to unmanage the device and shows the Unknown icon. This is a strange one as I've seen some process will change the icon back to Unmanaged so I plan to have my script monitor the node to make sure it moves from Unmanaged/Unknown.

{"uris": ["swis://server1.com/Orion/Orion.Nodes/NodeID=110"], "properties": {"UnManaged": false, "Status": 0}}

3. Update UnmanageFrom and UnmanageUntil

{"uris": ["swis://server1.com/Orion/Orion.Nodes/NodeID=110"], "properties": {"UnmanageFrom": "2023-08-23", "UnmanageUntil": "2023-08-23"}}
