Remove Multiple Volumes at Once

Question

Is there a way to remove all volumes in Orion that start with a certain name or letter? I know i can go into NPM > Manage Nodes then select the node and click the dropdown to delete, but this would take HOURS. I need a way to be able to remove all \dev volumes from all our Linux servers.

I would go here the way of Orion SDK (GitHub - solarwinds/OrionSDK: SDK for the SolarWinds Orion platform, including tools, documentation, and samples in Powe… ) script.

E.g. in case of PowerShell I can imagine it would look like(not tested for your purpose, so please test first (and adjust if needed) via SWQL studio if the source query to select objects suits your needs):

#region PSSnapin presence check/add
if (!(Get-PSSnapin -Name "SwisSnapin" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue))
{
Add-PSSnapin SwisSnapin -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
}
#endRegion

$swis = Connect-Swis -Hostname "localhost" -UserName "admin" -Password "123"

Get-SwisData $swis "SELECT Uri FROM Orion.Volumes WHERE Caption LIKE '%\dev%'" |Remove-SwisObject $swis

I hope it helps.
