Can we trigger a alert via OrionSDK ?

We are deploying the Orion Platform with NPM, SAM, SRM, and LA modules. I would to explore the possibility of triggering an alert via the Orion API. 

Can we use API to update monitored devices’/ applications’ metrics to go over the threshold configured and let the system trigger new alerts or update the syslog and SNMP trap record via API for triggering alerts?

I checked the Orion SDK and the SolarWinds thwack. There is Acknowledge, AppendNote, Unacknowledged, and  ClearAlert but cannot find there is a function for creating alerts via API directly.

  • Interesting. Have you looked at using the API to modify/set a custom property, that then triggers an alert? Its roundabout, but would allow you to have the alert actions reset that property too. Its also pretty flexible as all you have to do is set the properties you want and now you can effectively trigger them individually or in groups by using custom properties.
