Enable NCM and update the NCM property during Adding node

You would "set" the values after it's added.  The samples for 'edits' are in: solarwinds/orionsdk-python: Python client for interacting with the SolarWinds Orion API (github.com)

Thanks for your reply

I have gone through the sample code a couple of times, but I can not find which script is doing this.

Can you help to point out the file name ? So I can look at more closely

I use the add-node.py and add the following line to 

# Add to NCM
swis.invoke('Cirrus.Nodes', 'AddNodeToNCM', nodeid)

My guess is this will add the node to NCM. 

This is the output

Add an SNMP v2c node:
Adding node 10.239.178.74... swis://nrmpincmw001.ad.seagate.com/Orion/Orion.Nodes/NodeID=3003
DONE!

What kind of access does the error refers to ?

Thanks

Your logic look sound.  If you try to do this work "manually" via SWQL Studio (right-click on the verb and select "Invoke") does it work?

Fill in the "Core" Node ID in question, then click Invoke.

If it works then the results should be something like this:

 <Return xmlns="http://schemas.datacontract.org/2004/07/SolarWinds.InformationService.Contract">7e6398e6-65b2-4042-9589-f6647730c3f6</Return>

Where the GUID inside the return tag is the NodeID from the new entry in Cirrus.Nodes.

Look like the same error

Ok. I found this link

https://thwack.solarwinds.com/product-forums/network-configuration-manager-ncm/f/forum/89027/api-ncm-403-client-error-access-denied-webviewer-permission-required

I use Windows AD account. It does not work even I have the "Network configuration manager settings" administrator privilege. 

If I use a local account with "Network configuration manager settings" with Webviewer privilege, the invoke is working now.
