Can you automatically add discovered interfaces to servers that use WMI polling when using PowerOrion PowerShell module?

rhomewood over 7 years ago

Am new to the SolarWinds API / PowerOrion module.

We are running the latest version of NPM v12 and latest version of SAM v6.2.4 and the latest version of PowerOrion / SDK from GitHub.

We can easily add nodes in bulk using the powerorion module but by default this doesn't add any of the discovered interfaces.

Is there a way to programatically add discovered or select discovered interfaces / resources of windows server nodes added to SolarWinds that use WMI polling method? There is a commandlet called Add-OrionDiscoveredInterfaces but this generates 'InvalidNode', it seems that this is only for SNMP polling methods?

It seems that there is something lacking in the API for this and probably a major ommision but the GUI can do this so not sure why the API can't?

Any help would be greatly appriciated

Thanks

The other way to do it is to use the discovery API to add the node. That method can add the interfaces for WMI nodes.

I don't believe it is possible with WMI nodes. I've come across other thwack posts that state that adding interfaces via API is only supported for SNMP monitored nodes.
Here is one example article

Thanks for the info.
Is there any documentation on how to use that API or example syntax?
I assume, by discovery API you are talking about this method in the schema:

Currently the only documentation for this API is forum posts. There's a PowerShell example in this thread: Re: Discovery through SDK is no longer working as expected PowerShell
