Does anyone have an example already on how to create a custom node with Custom Properties and Pollers using C#? The example in SDK only shows query
Any help would be appreciated
All of the higher-level tasks in the API are just different inputs to the same basic operations (query, invoke, create, update, delete). I recommend you look at the PowerShell examples and then make equivalent calls to those basic operations from C#.
Also quick addition, we have a custom Poller for Cisco ASR's how do I add that to the router type? The poller is is just called "Cisco ASR Devices"
# CPU
$poller["PollerType"]="N.Cpu.SNMP.CiscoGen3";
$pollerUri = New-SwisObject $swis -EntityType "Orion.Pollers" -Properties $poller
# Memory
$poller["PollerType"]="N.Memory.SNMP.CiscoGen3";
So in reading through the example I see you have an Invoke for Alert but how do I know what the invoke is for example Adding a Node
JToken invokeResult = Invoke("Orion.Nodes", "CCCCC", new object[]
{
new[]
new
IPAddress = "4.4.4.8",
EngineID = 12,
ObjectSubType = "SNMP",
SNMPVersion = 2,
EntityType = "Orion.Nodes",
NodeName = "test.mycompany.com"
}
}).Result;
Console.WriteLine(invokeResult);
Those kinds of custom pollers are handled separately from these built-in pollers. See https://github.com/solarwinds/OrionSDK/wiki/NPM-Universal-Device-Pollers for how to assign those programmatically.
Adding a node is done using a "create" operation, not "invoke". The C# sample does not have a wrapper method for create, but it should be straightforward to make one given the request format, which is shown here: https://github.com/solarwinds/OrionSDK/wiki/REST#create-request.
I tried
JToken CreateResult = Create("Orion.Nodes", new object[]
NodeName = "test.mycompany.com",
Community = "public",
RwCommunity = "public",
DynamicIP = "false",
PollInterval = "120",
RediscoveryInterval = "30",
StatCollection = "30"
Console.WriteLine(CreateResult);
private static Task<JToken> Create(string entity, params object[] args)
return SwisCallAsync(client =>
var request = JToken.FromObject(args);
HttpContent content = new StringContent(request.ToString(), Encoding.UTF8, "application/json");
foreach (JObject item in args)
return client.PostAsync(string.Format("Create/", entity), content);
return null;
});
But get the following error
System.AggregateException: One or more errors occurred. ---> System.InvalidCastException: Unable to cast object of type '<>f__AnonymousType0`12[System.String,System.Int32,System.String,System.Int32,System.String,System.String,System.String,System.String,System.String,System.String,System.String,System.String][]' to type 'Newtonsoft.Json.Linq.JObject'.

I know you don't support custom code but any help would be gratefully appreciated
Judging from your later posts, it sounds like may have gotten past this issue. But to help out anyway, I update the C# sample on GitHub to show how to call the Create, Read, Update, and Delete operation types from C#. See https://github.com/solarwinds/OrionSDK/blob/master/Samples/CSharp/SwisClient.cs . Let me know if you still need help sorting this part out.
