Assign API Template via REST Examples?

Does anybody have an example or link to the SDK that covers the "Orion.APIPoller.ApiPoller.AssignTemplate" Invoke method?

"Configuration" & "Parameters" is really what Im looking for.

-----update------

I got some help from klobk

What I needed to use is Orion.ApiPoller.ApiPoller CreateApiPollerFromTemplate

This basic $configuration works, Polling Interval needs to be set after.. you can get some idea where to start with Dev Tools in a Browser while navigating in SolarWinds and checking the payloads.

Set the Cred Type and ID as needed. You can ref. Orion.APIPoller.RequestDetails to get started.

$configuration = @{

CredentialType = 'OAuth2Shared'

CredentialID = '1'

VerifySslCertificate = 'True'

UseProxy = 'False'

}

$nodeid = 1

$entity = 'orion.nodes'

$parameters = @{}

You then need to back tic ` escape " to make a STRING of the XML.

#Base/Template XML

$template_xml = "<?xml version=`"1.0`" encoding=`"utf-8`"?><Template xmlns:xsi=`"www.w3.org/.../XMLSchema-instance`" xmlns:xsd=`"">www.w3.org/.../XMLSchema`"><DisplayName>AzVMName - Microsoft Azure Virtual Machine - Permium OS Disk Metrics </DisplayName>

#shortened for example, again check an existing TemplateData from Orion.APIPoller.Templates

#close it out with a </Template> ie. </RequestDetailsCollection></Template>

#Find & Replace to create custom XML Template

$template_xml = $template_xml.Replace('AzVMName', $VM_Name)

$template_xml = $template_xml.Replace('SUBSCRIPTION_ID', $SUB_ID)

$template_xml = $template_xml.Replace('USERGROUP_ID', $RSG_ID)

Write-Host $template_xml

$API_ID = Invoke-SwisVerb $swis Orion.ApiPoller.ApiPoller CreateApiPollerFromTemplate @($entity, $nodeid, $template_xml, $configuration, $parameters)

#Get API URI to Set correct Polling Interval

$API_URI = Get-SwisData $swis "Select URI from Orion.APIPoller.PollingConfiguration where APIPollerID = '$API_ID'"

#Set API Polling Interval

$P_Interval = @{ PollingInterval = 15 }

Set-SwisObject $swis -Uri $API_URI -Properties $P_Interval

I think this can be pulled from an existing one, but I'm not sure and probably wont be in a place to test for a while
If so, they're both an array of key value pairs, so it'd be like SettingX: SetToY where you want to update the auth method on template A to style B instead. In that case querying what settings are in place currently should let you have an editable structure.

I got the Config part.. its just the Auth Setting, which can be referenced from existing APIs on Orion.APIPoller.RequestDetails.

Playing with "Parameters" now.. I may just blank it out if its not required. I feel its only doing a find/replace/insert on ${variables}

I can do the same in powershell to the XML, but it would be nice to see how this should work and leverage the interface.
