SolarWinds\Orion SDK\Schema\3.0\ documentation question

Question

In my copy of the SolarWinds\Orion SDK\Schema\3.0\Orion.AlertStatus.html document, the notes field is empty for all of the fields. Can anyone either point me to a different doc, or give me the descriptions for the fields/columns of the Orion.AlertStatus table?

(Just trying to make sure I'm handling alerts correctly.)

..and to that end, do I need to be looking into the Orion.AlertTriggered table?

Our main goal is to be pulling alerts for loading into a ticketing system.

Thanks,

Scott Fraley

Unfortunately, we don't have property-by-property documentation for the schema. You are pretty much limited to exploring and asking questions on this forum.

Orion.AlertTriggered is not a table you can query, it's an indication type. The schema documentation doesn't make this very clear, but if you follow the chain of base types, you will wind up at System.Indication. Instead of querying indication types like a table, you subscribe to them. When the event occurs, SWIS notifies any subscribers. At this time, we are not prepared to support customers implementing their own subscribers; it's something we use internally and for integrations among our products.
