Not in bulk. You'll have to go to each one and do List Resources to add the volumes.

The universal device poller was added in 9.0. You will need to upgrade to be able to do this kind of polling. (There was also a custom poller in 8.x, but it was quite inferior to the 9.x universal device poller. If you're upgrading, you should go all the way to 9.1.)

The custom query resource does not provide a way to control text color. The custom query custom table (reporting) resource allows unquoted HTML. You can use this to set the text color, perhaps by using a CASE ... WHEN ... END to choose the color based on some condition. Edit 2017-05-26: I mixed up which resource type…

As you suspected, you are hitting the max buffer size. This is fixed in the not-yet-released SDK 1.4 version of SwisPowerShell.dll. I'll contact you separately to get that to you.

There's a lot here, so I'll try to provide some info and you can let me know if there are still unresolved questions. 1. The Orion.NetObjectTypes entity is used for a few purposes internally that justify including entries that don't actually have a defined net object prefix. 2. I couldn't reproduce the "Unknown…

It looks like you are talking to the Orion website and not SWIS. SWIS always listens on port 17778, regardless of what port the website is on.

in Unable to use SDK and getting 401 exception Comment by tdanner May 2018

That's odd - the configuration wizard validates your database credentials while you are still on the database credential page. I don't know why that would let you past if you were going to get this error later. As a workaround, you could try using SQL Management Studio to create an empty database, then tell the config…

For failed Windows authentication attempts, your best bet is probably the IIS logs.

That call looks correct and Orion.AlertSuppression/SuppressAlerts has no return value. So if you are getting a 200 response then your call succeeded.

Can you show your modified version of the script? Also, what version of NPM are you using? And if you do a "List Resources" on that device in the web console, do the interfaces show up correctly?

in Cannot get interface caption using discovery through PowerShell and DiscoverInterfacesOnNode verb Comment by tdanner July 2015

If you want to whip up some sort of app or script for this guy to unmanage some nodes, that is pretty straightforward with the Orion API. There's an example in PowerShell here: https://github.com/solarwinds/OrionSDK/wiki/PowerShell#invoke-swisverb. If you want a sample in a different language, let me know.

in Silence Group of Nodes Comment by tdanner September 2015

To get a list of the groups and the nodes that are members of them, you can use a query like this: SELECT c.Name, c.Members.Name AS NodeName FROM Orion.Container c WHERE c.Members.MemberEntityType='Orion.Nodes' Note that this will only include the direct group memberships.

#1 (and maybe #2 as well) sounds like a bug that was fixed in 8.5.1 SP3. What version are you running?

No, setting schedules through the API is not currently supported.

Changing the status of a component through the API is not supported. Could you tell us a bit more about your scenario? We might be able to find a different way to achieve your goals.

in How to change the state of a monitored component to DOWN from within a custom application (C# application) ? Comment by tdanner August 2012

This is supposed to be working. Try running through the Configuration Wizard again. If that doesn't clear it, try using Custom Property Editor to add a new custom property (you can delete it right after) to reset things. If that doesn't get it, you should open a support ticket.

in Node Management - Custom Properties Gone in 9.1? Comment by tdanner October 2008

You could use a try/catch block to collect the error and write it to a text file. But my guess is that SQL Server authentication is failing. Since you are not specifying a username/password, I'm guessing that Invoke-SqlServerQuery is using Windows authentication. When you run the script as yourself, your AD account is…

in I set this script as a Trigger Action in my Environment but it is not able to work. Running the script outside of SW works. Comment by tdanner March 2018

Yes, I would report that through support. Possible workaround for you to try: put TOSTRING(ROUND(<column>, 2)) in your query. This will cause SWIS to return a string to the client instead of a float. If SWIS does a better job of that than the Orion website, this will help. Otherwise it will just make it worse in SWQL…

in ROUND error on SWQL on Orion Custom Query resource? Comment by tdanner August 2016

The ports are open on the Orion server, not the system where the SDK is installed. The SDK does not include any service or IIS website - it's just a set of tools, documentation, and samples.

in SDK Installation Help Comment by tdanner May 2013

Hello! The Unmanage verb takes four arguments: * Net Object ID (string) - This should be “N:” followed by the id number of the node to be unmanaged. Example: “N:12”. * Unmanage start time (DateTime) - The date and time to begin the unmanage period. This can either be the current time or a future time. * Remanage time…

Orion should be reporting the aggregate CPU load, taking into account multiple cores, hyperthreading, etc. How we get this varies a bit depending on the vendor, but that's the general idea.

So to be clear: the TestWithEngine verb is returning true even when the agent is actually down?
