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.
