I think I found the "issue"... In my scan jobs I only work off start and end address's. Within the script, I removed the Bulk, and CIDR (Mask) portions focusing only on start and end. Once adding everything back and using all 3 methods I was able to retrieve data. Is there anywhere within the Discovery API where I can…

The fastest way to enable asset inventory in mass is to create a discovery job on all the nodes you want it enabled on. This will delete historical data but will enable the option as long as the target device is communicating with something other than ICMP. 

You summed that up pretty darn well. Yes, after IIS rebuild everything was back to normal. Why this happened, I have not the slightest idea. How do I ensure this does not happen again ? No idea.

Im thinking powershell/python. 

The overdue notifications come from the Web GUI, the same place that tells you new nodes have been found ect...

Did you modify these two lines ? <StartAddress>x.x.168.1</StartAddress> <EndAddress>X.x.168.250</EndAddress> I mentioned in the last post these would need modification. Off to lunch GL my friend

I find the batch ID however nothing in the logitems

Ill be voting

Thank you tdanner! That did the trick. Being somewhat new to scripting, I am finding that its quite easy to replicate repetitive tasks (especially when using the "bulk" format tdanner advised in this post). I do have a decent understanding of the DB schema however. Just thought I would mention that considering most of you…

You can also get element count from "polling engines" via Settings. This will not only help identify unnecessary monitoring but also make it very easy to audit my 4000 MS servers, ensuring they have at least one interface monitored for example. I'm stoked.

Done! Thanks for the heads up!

Bingo!

The only thing that gave me a clue was that the “polling engine” option from “All Settings” would not load. A reboot of the application and web server shortly there after “broke” IIS. At that point it needed to be uninstalled, and reinstalled. Without uninstalling and reinstalling IIS the config wizard would get stick and…

Are there any books, websites, blogs, online tutorials where I could read about API's to get a better understanding? I checked out codeacademy but wasn't sure what flavor of API best compared to SLW API.

Thank you very much for the explanation, very helpful.

The script runs as expected, what I cant figure out is why nothing is being returned. I see the job "Run" and "Finish" in the UI. When looking at the Discovery table, I see the various jobs kickoff and "Finish". I made sure I only scanned networks where devices were located, specifically devices already in this instance of…

Nevermind, I think I got it (u got it). Thanks TDANNER!!!!!! You are the MAN!!!! Regards, Nicholas Dentry

Nice find, the credential paremeter was an issue. That has been corrected, now the script is erroring on the last line $DiscoveryProfileID = (Invoke-SwisVerb $swis Orion.Discovery StartDiscovery @($StartDiscoveryContext)).InnerText ^ PS C:\Users\nsd000.QACMA> C:\Users\nsd000.QACMA\Documents\PowerShell Scripts\Do not…

At the bottom of the nightly DB maint logs.

11.5.2, DB maint does complete.

it is, thank you Sir!

You nailed it Steve, I can add a few custom properties such as environment (filter on Dev/Test) and remove the nonsense from my DB. There is no reason I should be monitoring 100+ interfaces on a dev box!! Steve, thank you so much!!!

Steve, do you find it easier to write query's in SWQL vs SQL ? 

Thanks Steve! Will be taking a look at this shortly!

Worked for me, just had to change a few things around. Here is my SQL code in report writer! SELECT Caption FROM nodesdata LEFT JOIN NCM_Nodes ncmnode ON nodesdata.NodeID=ncmnode.CoreNodeID WHERE nodesdata.Vendor='Cisco' AND ncmnode.NodeID IS NULL

For whatever reason, I could not find the appropriate table in SWQL, once I looked in DB manager I found it almost right away. Im chalking it up to many hours spent in DB manager vs SWQL studio.

My script pulls the various Uri's I am after, however the script it stopping, and asking for a Properties value $swis = Connect-Swis -Hostname $hostname -Username $username -Password $password $CustomPropertyUpdate =@{ Environment = "QA"; } $uris = Get-SwisData $swis "SELECT uri FROM Orion.Nodes WHERE ip_address LIKE…

You are the man tdanner ! That's exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!! I would be editing hundreds if not thousands of records.

Did you check the updated port requirements for agents ?
