Hello everyone!
I am trying to add a specific file system to monitoring with SWIS API. So far I've been using the discovery method successfully, but there are situations where I need to add additional volumes after the node has been already discovered and added to SolarWinds.
I have tried to achieve this with "swis.create", but I'm not sure if it is supposed to work this way, since I would have to generate VolumeID & Volume Index and to set IDENTITY INSERT to ON for the table. I couldn't find any specific "verb" defined for Orion.Volumes for such an action. Does anyone know if this is the way to do it, or is there another way that I'm missing?
Example below:
def create_volumes(self,volume,voldesc,volidx,voltype,volid,nodeid):
""" provided a list of volumes and the nodeid from Orion.Nodes it adds them to monitoring """
props = {
'VolumeIndex': volidx,
'VolumeDescription': voldesc,
'VolumeID': volid,
'NodeID': nodeid,
'VolumeTypeID': voltype,
'Caption': volume
}
results = self.swis.create('Orion.Volumes', **props)
try:
return results
except IndexError:
return False
Returns:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Thank you!!!
