I would like to acknowledge events in the events log table via the invoke command. Is this possible? If not?
How do a get a list of Alerts for a specific node, I then would like to use that information to pass into a ticketing system.
I already have the form interface, I just need to either know how the Acknowledge the Events in the Events log using the swis or SWQL or get the list of Alerts associated with a node and then Acknowledge them.
Thank you for your help.

You acknowledge events through the invoke API by calling the "Acknowledge" verb on the "Orion.Events" entity.
This is a powershell script that acknowledges events.
if (!(Get-PSSnapin -Name "SwisSnapin" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue))
{
Add-PSSnapin SwisSnapin -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
}
swisTarget = 'localhost'
$username="admin"
$password=""
$swis = Connect-Swis -host $swisTarget -UserName $username -Password $password
$eventIds = 2455, 2456
[xml]$invokeResult
$invokeResult = Invoke-SwisVerb $swis "Orion.Events" "Acknowledge" @(, [int[]]@($eventIds))
$result = $invokeResult.ChildNodes.Value
Write-Host "Acknowledge events returned $result"
Here is a powershell script that gets the active "advanced" alerts for a node
if (!(Get-PSSnapin -Name "SwisSnapin" -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue))
{
Add-PSSnapin SwisSnapin -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
}
$swisTarget = 'localhost'
$username="admin"
$password=""
$swis = Connect-Swis -host $swisTarget -UserName $username -Password $password
# the node that we are interested in
$nodeId = 12
Write-Host "Getting alerts for Node with Id $nodeId"
#This query retrieves the list of alerts for a specific node. Note the ObjectType.
$query = "SELECT AlertDefID, ActiveObject, ObjectName, AlertMessage, TriggerTimeStamp
FROM Orion.AlertStatus Where ActiveObject = @nodeId AND ObjectType = 'Node'"
$queryParams = @{
nodeId=$nodeId;
}
$queryResult = Get-SwisData $swis $query $queryParams
$queryResult | ForEach-Object {Write-Host ("Node {0} with id={1} alertDefId={2} TriggeredOn:{3} " -f $_.ObjectName, $_.ActiveObject, $_.AlertDefID, $_.TriggerTimeStamp.ToLocalTime()) -foregroundcolor green}
And I am getting an error. That it is not able to Acknowledge an Event. I am doing this with Perl here is the code.
my $proxy = GMP::Solarwinds::SWQLAccess->new({db=>$page->db, ipaddress => $orion_ip});
my $event_id = 459290;
return $proxy->swis->Invoke( 'Orion.Events', 'Acknowledge', [$event_id] );
Here is the error I get from SolarWinds:

I am actually passing an array I just had one element in the array. Here is the error with two elements in the array.

The third parameter to swis->Invoke is a an array of the parameters for the verb. In your original example, this array has one element (an integer), so you are passing one argument (an integer) to the verb. In your second example, this array has two elements (two integers), so you are passing two arguments (two integers) to the verb. The verb expects one argument (an array of integers), so neither of these works. Hope that makes it more clear.
I am specifying an array. In Perl here is how the call is done. $swql->swis->Invoke( 'Orion.Events', 'Acknowledge', [@event_ids] );
When I make the call as stated, the above response is what I get from doing the Invoke as called.
I am using the InformationService.pm module provided by SolarWinds in the sample perl code.
When I specify it strictly as an array and not an array reference, $swql->swis->Invoke( 'Orion.Events', 'Acknowledge', @event_ids );
I get the following error.
Can't use string ("582311") as an ARRAY ref while "strict refs" in use at InformationService.pm line 126.
The code parameters in the Perl module are specified as follows:
Invoke => {
endpoint => '',
soapaction => 'http://schemas.solarwinds.com/2007/08/informationservice/InformationService/Invoke',
namespace => 'http://schemas.solarwinds.com/2007/08/informationservice',
parameters => [
SOAP::Data->name('entity')->prefix('swis')->type('string'),
SOAP::Data->name('verb')->prefix('swis')->type('string'),
SOAP::Data->name('parameters')->prefix('swis')
], # end parameters
}, # end Invoke
Thanks for your responses.
Hey tdanner, any ideas on this? can you give me an example of how the array should look?
