How to modify a discovered device properties like snmpv3 credentials using REST API

You update the NCM node's ConnectionProfileID but as I write that I don't know where that list of connection profiles comes from. I'm asking Ana who wrote this example for SolarWinds' repository. In the meantime, here it is:

https://github.com/solarwinds/OrionSDK/blob/master/Samples/Go/NCMProfile/main.go

Hi Jinqaing,

Have a look at the examples scripts provided on the Orion SDK GitHub repository, as they just what you are looking for.

Here is the Powershell version, but other language examples are also provided:

https://github.com/solarwinds/OrionSDK/blob/master/Samples/PowerShell/ChangeSNMPVersion.ps1 

You first "get" the device's details, then update the required fields and post the back to the API.

This script could easily be adapted to extract a list of devices and a ForEach loop through them.

I hope it helps!

I used this script before to make the change by running a discovery with my snmpv3 creds against all my nodes that i needed to change, that way I could confirm that my creds were good before i cut anything over.  For anything that had a v3 match it switched it over

# load the snappin if it's not already loaded (step 1)
if (!(Get-PSSnapin | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq "SwisSnapin" })) {
    Add-PSSnapin "SwisSnapin"
}
