How do I bulk set the Layer3 topoogy scanning of Edit Nodes/ report on ones unchecked in the UDT section nodes missing in the database?

I am seeing a lot of nodes with disabled Layer3 polling in the UDT job status, is there a way to turn them them on in bulk?  I tried enabling them via manage pollers in all settings, but that didn't have any affect on the edit node page, or UDT Job status list.  I would like to be able to report on/alert on ones missing the setting as well as enable it so that I can see when someone adds a node to Orion but doesn't enable it.

Thanx

  • Unfortunately, UDT does not expose any methods via API to enable/disable L2/L3 polling (unless I missed something). Changing the Enabled value directly in the NodeCapabilities SQL table is possible and enables the job, but I'm not 100% sure if there are no additional actions executed in other places when you do this via Edit Node. It would be great if Solarwinds added some methods / verbs for UDT via API.

    What I did as of now, I set (via API) a Custom Property for all nodes requiring specific change (eg. disable L3 poller on L2 devices) based on the query shared earlier, then I could easily filter the nodes in manage nodes view and edit all these nodes at once.
