Invoke-SwisVerb and how to find all the verbs and options available

Question

Hi there,

I have spent the afternoon playing with Invoke-SwisVerb $swis "Orion.Discovery", and a rather enjoyable one it has been at that.

I have a few questions, around this, namely are there other verbs to play with?

I would love to be able to list the known Discovery Profiles, and even remove profiles (instead of creating duplicates), do such options exist?

Can anyone assist in shedding some light, or pointing out a decent document or post please?

(I have the Discovery · solarwinds/OrionSDK Wiki · GitHub link.)

Many thanks in advance,

Rich

You can list the profiles by querying Orion.DiscoveryProfiles. Use SWQL Studio for experimenting with queries. Removing discovery profiles is not currently supported through the API.

There are various other verbs. You can get a plain list of them all using a query like "SELECT EntityName, Name FROM Metadata.Verb". I recommend looking at the various samples on GitHub - https://github.com/solarwinds/OrionSDK/tree/master/Samples/PowerShell
