Orion SWQL Orion.PollNow feature?

That blue icon means it is an Indication.   This indications gets fired whenever someone requests an object to be polled from the website.

The "Orion.Nodes" entity has a PollNow verb that you can call to request the node to be polled.  The verb takes an object identifier in the form of "N:<nodeId>"   Where <nodeId> is the Id of the Node you would like to force a poll on.

agh i see, thank you, this leads me to my next question how do i see the available verbs? i thought the only available verbs were in purple lol

this is going to answer another question i have lol. i created a PS script to create custom properties using the Orion.NodesCustomProperties CreateCustomProperty which was cool.

i then created some more custom properties with values using the $swis Orion.NodesCustomProperties CreateCustomPropertyWithValue

but i cant work out how that worked and where is the verb stored CreateCustomPropertyWithValue where can i find these or am looking in the wrong sub directories?

cheers

You can get a list of the verbs available by running the following SWQL query in SWQLStudio

SELECT EntityName, Name AS VerbName
FROM Metadata.Verb
ORDER BY EntityName, VerbName

In SWQL Studio verbs have the "pink cube" icon next to the names.

Your call $swis Orion.NodesCustomProperties CreateCustomPropertyWithValue can be interpreted as call the verb "CreateCustomPropertyWithValue" on the entity "Orion.NodesCustomProperties"

Verbs are defined on entities.  You can think of entities as Tables and verbs are actions you can take on those tables.

SWQLStudio shows you the list of entities available on the tree on the left hand side.   The entities are grouped based on their namespace.   

very interesting, thanks man very, very informative   

One final little question what Cirrus.Nodes? 

thanks again

Cirrus.Nodes represents a node that is being monitored by the NCM product.
