Is anybody successful running Orion.Nodes/PollNow API?

I suspect the call completing is related to successful login.

Going to poke at this, but the detailsUrl for the node has slightly different formatting - /Orion/NetPerfMon/NodeDetails.aspx?NetObject=N:xxxxxxx   where xxxxxxx is your nodeid. But, try NetObject=N:8042 and see if that works. If it does try "netObjectID"="${N=SwisEntity;M=OrionIdPrefix}${N=SwisEntity;M=NodeID}"

FYI - this is not something I do every day. I did look over some notes, and the netobject is apparently used with older verbs. The URI is related to newer verbs. 

Thanks for the response Marc

After a lot of testing, it looks like calling the PollNow API method is not polling CPU data for some reason. Few other people report the same issue on the Internet.

So I have ended up creating a Powershell script, which logs in to SW website and simulates pressing the Poll Now button on Node Details screen. This then polls CPU as expected.

robert.poreba , I asked our engineering team to investigate this and they unfortunately were not able to reproduce this in our lab (Internally tracked under OO-33054). In a similar vein, in 2025.1, we are adding a new verb called 'PollStatusNow' that only does Status polling associated with an entity and not the full list of other metrics.

Hi Chad,

Thank you for your response. Does it mean that when you call the Orion.Nodes/PollNow API in your lab, it is polling CPU?

Maybe it depends if the Node is agent-based , etc. I'm normally testing this for Agent-based nodes.
