Could you post your code snippet? Just the first few lines would be fine, will let me see it in context and try to figure out a solution for you.

I've been trying to use this script to migrate nodes from one NPM server to another, while the script does work to transpose the data between databases, it does not seem to pull the SNMP data across properly. While the information is moved between the databases the new nodes do not poll properly. Any ideas on a solution…

This needs to be looked at urgently. The ability to migrate web-based reports is crucial to the adoption of this feature and without it I am restricted in what I can and can't do in multi-instance sites.

I changed the connection code to; #Connect to the source and server $username1 = Get-Credential $source = Connect-Swis -Credential $username1 -Hostname $hostname1 So all you need to do is define $hostname1 as an IP eg; $hostname1 = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx or ask the host for it $hostname1 = Read-Host -prompt "Please enter the host…

I had exactly the same problem and even tried using -AsPlainText -Force and still had no joy, what I ended up doing was rewriting the entire connection section of the script as follows. Original(broken?): # Set up the hostname, username, and password for the source system $hostname1 = "10.199.15.78"; $password1 =…

I can confirm that it is indeed pulling across my community string. It's an odd issue, it pulls over the Nodes/Interfaces and Volumes but doesn't poll the SNMP data until I go through: Edit Node -> Test -> Submit Then it begins polling properly, unfortunately we're trying to move near 8000 objects so that's not really a…

While the script does work as intended, there are some nuances it wasn't prepared for, I have updated my local copy of the script to cover the issues I encountered but as they are probably unique to the environment I was working in I can't say much. The script does fundamentally work, but the SNMP polling issue is quite a…

Update: I've narrowed the problem down to Null or missing data being imported into the Orion.Nodes table, I've found a few threads elsewhere regarding this, such as; http://thwack.solarwinds.com/thread/53037 I've adjusted the script to perform some basic data validation but it's not fool-proof, does anyone have a solution…

Thanks so much! I'll test this out as I was messing about with the MemberDefenitionInfo previously and having issues there but probably unrelated. I'll try tomorrow and get back to you.

Certainly, I've butchered the example code to create this; $members = @(@{ Name = "Child Groups"; ContainerID = $NewGroupID }) $groupId = (Invoke-SwisVerb $StrTarget "Orion.Container" "CreateContainer" @( # group name $groupname, # owner, must be 'Core' "Core", # refresh frequency 60, # Status rollup mode: # 0 = Mixed…

Alasdair, If we consider the following example; Looking at 1 hour time period with poll ever 5 minutes = 12 polls If 5 of those polls were up, 2 of those polls were warning, and 3 of those polls were down, availability for that hour would be UP ( 6/12 *100) = 50% Warning ( 3/12 *100) = 25% Down (3/12 * 100) = 25 % My…

Is there any time-scale on an official import/export method being put in place? This method is fine at the moment but I'm curious as to when we may see a more permanent and end-user friendly version.
