Hi all,
Ok, so I have a quandry from the guy who integrates our network automation PS scripts into/onto the production boxen.
So I did a little testing on this and got some unexpected results.
I used the Get-SwisData command directly using the same queries that we embedded in the functions, and surprisingly the device status seldom changes from ChildStatus = 1, StatusName = Up. Even when the device and interface were fully Unmanaged the query still returned these two values.
Only if you are quick – and I mean really quick – and run the query at the right time just after the device has been set back to Manage, will you see it flip to ChildStatus = 0, StatusName = ‘Unknown’
[<OurServerName>]: PS C:\Users\Uzer\Documents> $QueryToUse
SELECT N.ChildStatus, SI.StatusName FROM Orion.Nodes N INNER JOIN Orion.StatusInfo SI ON SI.StatusId = N.ChildStatus WHERE N.NodeID = '915'
[<OurServerName>]: PS C:\Users\Uzer\Documents> $result = Get-SwisData $swis $QueryToUse
[<OurServerName>]: PS C:\Users\Uzer\Documents> $result
ChildStatus StatusName
----------- ----------
1 Up
[<OurServerName>]: PS C:\Users\Uzer\Documents> $result = Get-SwisData $swis $QueryToUse
[<OurServerName>]: PS C:\Users\Uzer\Documents> $result
ChildStatus StatusName
----------- ----------
1 Up
[<OurServerName>]: PS C:\Users\Uzer\Documents> $result = Get-SwisData $swis $QueryToUse
[<OurServerName>]: PS C:\Users\Uzer\Documents> $result
ChildStatus StatusName
----------- ----------
1 Up
[<OurServerName>]: PS C:\Users\Uzer\Documents> $result = Get-SwisData $swis $QueryToUse
[<OurServerName>]: PS C:\Users\Uzer\Documents> $result
ChildStatus StatusName
----------- ----------
0 Unknown
[<OurServerName>]: PS C:\Users\Uzer\Documents> $result = Get-SwisData $swis $QueryToUse
[<OurServerName>]: PS C:\Users\Uzer\Documents> $result
ChildStatus StatusName
----------- ----------
1 Up
Is this expected behavior, or am I looking in the 'wrong place' for this info?
Thanks,
Scott Fraley
