Hi,
When I run this query, I get a different time as to the actual lastboot time, but when I checked the message center for last reboot event time, it is correct. Any ideas, or does anyone have any recommended query to create a Node Last Reboot in 24 hours?
Thank you!
SELECT e.Nodes.Caption, EventTime as RebootTime
FROM Orion.Events e
where eventtype = 14
and HOURDIFF(eventtime, GETUTCDATE()) < 24
order by eventtime desc
Hello, Team
is anybody who can give me an idea how to input the 'yes' or 'y' command when waiting for the user input.
want to automate the Nexus 3048 ios upgrade process with powershell script with NCM.
Also, powershell script can apply for multiple devices at the same time for example upgrade 100 devices at the same time for 1 powershell script.
for example
Images will be upgraded according to following table:
Module Image Running-Version New-Version Upg-Required
------ ---------------- ---------------------- ---------------------- ------------
1 system 6.0(2)U1(2) 6.0(2)U3(1) yes
1 kickstart 6.0(2)U1(2) 6.0(2)U3(1) yes
1 bios v1.2.0(08/25/2011) v1.2.0(08/25/2011) no
1 power-seq v4.4 v4.4 no
Switch will be reloaded for disruptive upgrade.
Do you want to continue with the installation (y/n)? [n] y <--- here, how to input 'y' command with powershell script ??
Install is in progress, please wait.

Is there a method to delete a completed network discovery via the API? I've successfully automated the addition of nodes through the network discovery but would like to do cleanup afterwards so that those discoveries don't pile up.
First, I'll share the script. Then, I'll explain why we need it and how it helps us in our environment.
To use the script you must have the Orion SDK installed on the monitored node.
Take the text below, paste in Powershell ISE and save it as a PS1.

Explanation:
My company had a very unique need to monitor our enterprise Windows application that runs not only on standard desktop PCs, but also runs on mobile tablets connected to WiFi access points. These tablets run the standard Windows 7 Professional OS so it makes it easy to set up application monitoring in SolarWinds SAM for these machines. However, the problem comes at the end of the day when these tablets are turned off and placed in their charging docks for the night. As you can imagine, this creates an administrative nightmare (not to mention an email alert flood) in SolarWinds when this happens.
SolarWinds Orion NPM and SAM is designed to always keep an eye on a node or application that is entered in it's database. It is not designed to monitor an application or node only "part of the time" --- well, at least it isn't designed for this purpose out of the box. So instead, we have to create a workaround that will suit our needs. What we needed to do was figure out how to automatically "unmanage" these Windows tablet PCs in SolarWinds when they are shut down for the night, but also automatically "re-manage" them once they boot up. This is where the script comes into play.
The idea is to take the Unmanage script and apply it as a shut down script in Group Policy, then take the Remanage script and apply it as a boot up script in Group Policy.
Here is why this works for us:
The business is supposed to gracefully shut down the tablet by clicking Start > Shut down. If not, then an email alert triggers that informs us that the application is down on the machine.
If the tablet goes offline in the middle of the day for any reason, we will receive an email alert about that node.
When the machine is shut down properly, the node is automatically unmanaged in SolarWinds.
When the machine boots up and someone logs into the machine, the node is automatically remanaged in SolarWinds.
But here is an even better use for these scripts --- Scheduled Server Maintenance! How many times have we, server administrators, had to patch Windows Servers during scheduled maintenance hours? Normally you would have to go into SolarWinds and unmanage the node first BEFORE rebooting as not to trigger an email alert. Well with these scripts you wouldn't have to worry about that as much since this would be automatic.
Final notes:
Of course, this is just one way to go about auto-managing nodes in SolarWinds. There are some alternatives to doing this using the Orion SDK and Powershell which is to, instead, use the built-in .NET properties in Powershell 2.0 to access the Orion SQL database directly, find the node ID, and unmanage it in that manner. For those that are interested in how do to this without the Orion SDK, let me know and I'd be happy to elaborate.
I had a bunch of questions from today's SolarWidns Lab episode, "BREAKING UP WITH BAD HABITS: Monitoring, Security, and Orion -- DON'TS". I wrapped up with a 10 minute SolarWinds SDK programming class, integrating the Orion Platform with an Amazon Alexa custom skill. It's Nodejs, AWS Lambda, Alexa and of course SolarWinds SWIS, SQL and SDK.
Below I've added the JavaScript I put together to query Orion from from AWS Lambda. Check out the lab video for the tutorial and let me know if this was helpful.
Lambda Nodejs file that backends the skill we create in the episode:

};Hi,
I am in need of creating an exact duplicate "Active Alerts View", but also need to filter the alerts to specific type of alerts. This is because the View Limitation can not filter by Specific Alerts, and I can't use the Accounts alerts limitation category because everyone logs into the same group.
Short story, I found a SWQL query here for it, but I can't seem to find the "Active Time".. any ideas where this is located, or how I can get Active Time to display as in Active Alerts View?
SELECT
o.AlertConfigurations.Name AS [ALERT NAME]
,'/Orion/NetPerfMon/ActiveAlertDetails.aspx?NetObject=AAT:' + ToString(o.AlertObjectID) AS [_LinkFor_ALERT NAME]
,o.AlertActive.TriggeredMessage AS [ALERT MESSAGE]
,o.EntityCaption AS [ALERT OBJECT]
,o.EntityDetailsURL AS [_LinkFor_ALERT OBJECT]
,ToLocal(o.AlertActive.TriggeredDateTime) AS [ALERT TRIGGER TIME]
,o.RelatedNodeCaption AS [RELATED NODE]
,o.RelatedNodeDetailsURL AS [_LinkFor_RELATED NODE]
FROM Orion.AlertObjects o
WHERE o.AlertActive.TriggeredMessage <> '' and o.AlertConfigurations.Name = 'Critical'
A bonus, anyone knows how to add the icons or color as well?
Ive taken a few python classes at school a while back and while I enjoyed it I never used it too much in the real world. From doing research and reading various posts I seem to have this feeling that knowing powershell vs python would put me in a much better position to excel as a SolarWinds admin. Curious on Tdanners and others thoughts.
Hi,
I have a question, and I can't seem to find it. Is there a way to be able to audit a custom property field, to be able to run a report to see who changed the property and when?
The reason is, we have setup a Mute_Node property, and would like to audit to see who muted it and when.
Thanks much!
I've been able to script unmanaging and managing nodes in powershell. However, for 400+ nodes, this ends up taking quite a while. Via script, it takes about 7 minutes to unmanage the nodes and over 10 minutes to remanage them. Doing this from the website takes about 25 seconds and no more than a minute, respectively. My guess is that the website somehow group updates the database instead of doing it one at a time. Anyone else seen this or have any idea how to do more than one node at a time? Below is sample code for how I am unmanaging a single node:
Invoke-SwisVerb $swis Orion.Nodes Unmanage @("N:$nodeid",$start,$end,"false")
Thanks for any advice you have!

I'm just starting to get my head around the powershell/sdk goodness and have a few queries based on the example here: https://github.com/solarwinds/OrionSDK/blob/master/Samples/PowerShell/NCM.ExecuteScript.ps1.
Credentials
If I configure the logon as username password :
$hostname = "MyOrionServerName" $username = "MyUSerName" $plainpass = "MyPlainTextPassword" $swis = Connect-Swis -v2 -host $hostname -username $username -password $plainpass
The script completes and produces the results as expected.
However, I'd rather not have plain text username/password combination in my script, so changing to certificate based credentials, and running the script in ISE as administrator:
$hostname = "MyOrionServerName" $username = "MyUSerName" $swis = Connect-Swis -Certificate
I get the error:
Invoke-SwisVerb : System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException --> String or binary data would be truncated.
The statement has been terminated.

at this:

and the job fails to complete.
Any input here appreciated.
Output
I have added the (working) code to a template we have for sending emails. When the job completes, Write-Host$outputpresents to the debug window nicely formatted text.
If however I send $output to the email, the text just becomes a single continuous string:
I've tried ConvertTo-HTML:
$($output | ConvertTo-Html -fragment | out-string)
which produces the completely non-helpful:
Now, in all honesty, I'm nowhere near a PowerShell expert, so I'd be gratful for any pointers on what I am (clearly) doing wrong that is stopping the text being a nicely formatted table
Thanks

Hi All,
Is it possible to integrate SolarWinds with IBM Tivoli Netcool OMNIbus? If so, then what would be the requirements from our end (SolarWinds per se) for this integration?
Thank you very much.
I am creating a basic script that will ultimately automatically remove loopback, mgmt., null interfaces and others once a week. The script below does return Uri's as intended however when I add the remove object statement it throws an error I do not understand

This format works well when I use the same logic on the script below. The only difference I can see is that the script above is pulling from Orion.NPM.Interfaces and the one below is Orion.Volumes

We have an issue where users will add servers into UDT. Our methodology is to only allow access switches in UDT. I have created the script below to identify all devices where the vendor is not Cisco. It brings back the expected Uri's however when I add the Remove-SwisObject statement it errors out.

It works perfectly on swql studio but not on custom query on website. Any comments?
Thanks.

Can anyone identify what the "DisableSensors" verb is looking for in Orion.HardwareHealth.HardwareItem ?
Trying the ID is coming back with an error in PowerShell:
Script:
# Clear PowerShell and add the SwisSnapin
Clear-Host
if (-not (Get-PSSnapin | Where-Object { $_.Name -eq 'SwisSnapin' })) {
Add-PSSnapin 'SwisSnapin'
}
# Connect to SWIS using AD pass-through
$hostname = 'SolarWindsPoller'
$swis = Connect-Swis -Hostname $hostname -Trusted
# Query SWIS to get an array of Sensor IDs to disable
$query = "SELECT ID, FullyQualifiedName FROM Orion.HardwareHealth.HardwareItem WHERE Name LIKE 'System Memory'"
$results = Get-SwisData $swis $query
# Loop through the array to disable the sensors
Foreach($sensor in $results){ Invoke-SwisVerb $swis Orion.HardwareHealth.HardwareItem DisableSensors $($sensor[0].ID) Write-Host "Disabling Hardware Sensor On: $($sensor[0].FullyQualifiedName)"
}
This is an example of what is being passed (adding a Write-Host to the front of the Invoke)
Invoke-SwisVerb SolarWinds.InformationService.Contract2.InfoServiceProxy Orion.HardwareHealth.HardwareItem DisableSensors 136
Disabling Hardware Sensor On: System Memory on hostname.domain.local
And this is the error:
Invoke-SwisVerb : Verb Orion.HardwareHealth.HardwareItem.DisableSensors cannot unpackage parameter 0 of type System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1[SolarWinds.HardwareHealth.Common.Models.HardwareHealth.HardwareHealthItemKey]

Any and all help is appreciated!
Trying to script delete of nodes. Works in the QA environment and fails in PRD.
Get the URI here:
if (-not (Get-PSSnapin | where {$_.Name -eq "SwisSnapin"}))
{ Add-PSSnapin "SwisSnapin";
}
$swis = Connect-Swis -host SolarWindsOrionServer -UserName 'REDACTED' -Password 'ALSO_REDACTED'
$a = Get-SwisData $swis 'SELECT Uri FROM Orion.nodes where caption = @host' @{host = 'Test123456'}
Remove-SwisObject -SwisConnection $swis -Uri $a
This returns the following:
Remove-SwisObject : mismatched input 'False' expecting 'Identifier' in Select clause
At line:1 char:1
+ Remove-SwisObject -SwisConnection $swis -Uri ([string]$a)
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+ CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:) [Remove-SwisObject], FaultException`1
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : SwisError,SwisPowerShell.RemoveSwisObject
$a.getType() returns that it is a string
I have tried several formats including using the literal URI string:
Remove-SwisObject -SwisConnection $swis -Uri 'swis://FCDARSVRMSQ23P.fcb.com/Orion/Orion.Nodes/n:9608'
What am I missing?
We're running the following:
