Just making sure of your configuration: your script is just a modification of the sample script, and you are sure that pollers you assign to the node are valid for the node, correct? Have you compared that the set of pollers is the same as you added the node using the Orion Web Console?

Tom - yes, these are slight modifications on the scripts in the SDK documents. Doesn't seem to matter if I add pollers or not (i've tried several including the 5 listed in the add node example on page 23) - the tooltip details don't populate.

To prove that it's not a poller thing, I added an ICMP node manually in the GUI and that doesn't make any entries in the Orion.Pollers table for that NodeID. But yet, when adding ICMP node manually in the GUI, the tooltip works just fine. So doesn't look to me like it's a poller thats populating these details.

Example code I'm using:

   $newNodeProps = @{
    EntityType="Orion.Nodes";
    Caption="mynode";
    IPAddress="10.2.64.140";
    DynamicIP=$False;
    EngineID=1;
    Status=1;
    UnManaged=$False;
    Allow64BitCounters=$True;
    ObjectSubType="ICMP";
    SysObjectID="";
    MachineType="";
    VendorIcon="";
   }

   $newNodeUri = New-SwisObject $swis -EntityType "Orion.Nodes" -Properties $newNodeProps
   $nodeProps = Get-SwisObject $swis -Uri $newNodeUri

When you hover over a node link, the page makes an ajax request to /Orion/NetPerfMon/NodePopup.aspx?NetObject=N:123 (where 123 is the actual NodeID, of course). For some reason, this page is failing to load. The best way to diagnose this would be to know the actual error that is occurring on the server. You could get this by loading that page directly (paste the link into your browser and change the NodeID) or by looking at the web's log file at C:\ProgramData\SolarWinds\Logs\Orion\OrionWeb.log.

Could you find that error and reply back?

Hi Tim,

Tried pasting in the URL manually. Throws an error page in Orion with the following details:

Unexpected Website Error

Specified cast is not valid.

Nodes.CPULoad is a nullable field in the database, and it looks like the code in the popup is not correctly handling the case where that field is null. Orion normally uses "-2" as a value to indicate that CPULoad data when not available. I recommend you add setting CPULoad=-2 to your script for adding ICMP-only nodes.

Looking a little farther down in the code, I can see that we're going to have the same issue with the MemoryUsed and PercentMemoryUsed fields as well.

I'll enter two bugs: one to have the node popup correctly handle these values being NULL in the database and one to document this in the SDK.

BINGO! Works first time when I set all 3 values (CPULoad, MemoryUsed and PerectMemoryUsed) manually to -2. Been banging my head against this all day!

Thanks for entering the bug reports - I think both should cover it.

Cheers,

Barry
