Managing dev nodes

Any thoughts on this?

Feel free to modify this to suit. It originally had SQL to find multiple nodes with the same name and find the DOWN ones, hence the double sub selects. It is a workable SWIS agent deletion routine...

$nodesToDelete = Get-SwisData $swis 'SELECT Agent.Uri AS AgentUri, Agent.Node.Uri AS NodeUri, Agent.Node.Caption as Name, Agent.node.NodeID as NodeID FROM Orion.AgentManagement.Agent where Agent.Node.NodeID IN 
(SELECT nodeid FROM Orion.nodes where caption in (SELECT caption FROM Orion.nodes where PUT CONDITIONS HERE) )';

# Are there any?
if ($nodesToDelete)
{
    $msg+= ("{0} INFO: Deleting ATM {1} `n" -f `
    ((get-date -Format s).Replace("T", " ")), (($nodesToDelete.name | Out-String).Replace("`n", " ")) );
    write-host $msg

# Remove the Agent listing    
    for ($i=0; $i -lt $nodesToDelete.Length; $i++)
    {
        # Delete the Agent
        Remove-SwisObject $swis $nodesToDelete[$i].AgentUri
    }
    Start-Sleep -Seconds 5;

# Delete the Node object
    for ($i=0; $i -lt $nodesToDelete.Length; $i++)
    {
        # Delete the Node
        Remove-SwisObject $swis -Uri $nodesToDelete[$i].NodeUri
    }
}
else 
{
    $msg+= ("{0} INFO: Can't find any duplicate and DOWN ATMs `n" -f `
    (((get-date -Format s).Replace("T", " "))) )
}

Any thoughts on how to do this from a Linux node as well?

This block of code would be set up to execute on the orion server (or a system that is pointing at the orion server), it doesn't matter if the node you want to delete is linux, windows, or a router.  You define the conditions that you want to use to determine which nodes you are deleting on line 2

nclemons​ - You can do this via the OrionSDK in a script or as you suggested in an API call.. and that's the route I would take utilizing their REST fuctions. Link here:  REST · solarwinds/OrionSDK Wiki · GitHub
