In this 100-level class, Kevin M. Sparenberg, Technical Content Manager for THWACK©, presents a simple introduction to the SolarWinds© Orion© Software Development Kit (SDK). Instructions include how to download the SDK, installing the PowerShell module, and performing basic read operations within the API. No previous PowerShell or Orion API experience is necessary. Kevin discusses when, how, and why to use the API. Be sure to register for the live cast because Kevin will be answering audience questions during the episode.

Parents
  • Nothing yet - the PowerShell module currently only supports PowerShell 5.x.  There is a current issue on GitHub about the compatibility.  It originally stemmed from a missing requirement in .NET Core.  I think it would be useful to make a note on this issue or create another issue specifically to PowerShell 7.

    The above issue tracker is something that I think should possibly get bumped up so that we can support the SWIS calls on non-Windows PowerShell installations. 

    The PowerShell Module (not Snap-In) now supports PowerShell 7+.
