Yes I can. I found a verb to add to NCM but haven't found one to remove a device yet. I can delete from the Nodes database which seems to kill it, but it doesn't clean up any collected information. I need something like using the SP DeleteNode in NPM.

Got it working. All the fields displayed need to have a value vs null. The Description (aka NodeDescription) was the last item I was missing. Here's what the code should look like: $newNodeProps = @{ EntityType="Orion.Nodes"; IPAddress="4.2.2.4"; IPAddressGUID="04020204-0000-0000-0000-000000000000"; Caption="Test-4";…

Sorry, let me clarify. The API for adding nodes leaves some to be desired so I'm updating a discovery profile to add missing nodes. When I add them this way it makes it 10 times easier to assign the correct pollers, the catch is it automatically creates them in NCM. For the majority of the nodes this is ok, but there are…

Here's the current code I'm using in NPM 10.4. I was also exploring adding the node via a discovery profile with SNMP disabled. My challenge there is it is also added to NCM. So I'm exploring how to remove a node (via a script) in parallel. # add a node $newNodeProps = @{ EntityType="Orion.Nodes"; IPAddress="4.2.2.4";…

Can anyone in this chain send me a copy as well? Specifically the Internet Explorer component to automate the running of the Discovery Job. Thanks! -Ben

Yes, I have read all of that and been searching Thwack for awhile. The closest I have found is adding a node to NCM. -Ben

I can filter the entire summary page or each view like the Top XX interfaces today to only show elements using a custom attribute as you mentioned, but it doesn't seem work with the MOCR. It won't allow you to specify a query filter and it won't use what has been applied to the summary page. You can add elements manually…

I like this method and will be adopting it myself. It's great for datacenters and environments because it will already have the interface setup in monitoring so you don't have to keep running discovery jobs. I did take this a step further though. I found that even though an interface is shutdown it is still polled on the…

The interesting part is if I add a node via the SDK, I confirm the Node Details is not displaying anything, I then edit the node and simply update a custom attribute at this point the Node Details are now working properly.
