Hi all,
Just getting started doing an integration between Orion and some of our other tools. Have been through the SDK 1.3 and found some useful stuff in there especially around the kind of things we're looking to do like:
- create/remove a new node
- Add pollers
- Get a list of nodes
So I have some questions and please excuse me if these are trivial, but I think it's important we get this right at the outset. To set the scene my plan is to use the powershell cmdlets to do my integrations. So to the questions:
1. The Connect-Swis cmdlet - can it take the user/pw as parameters? If so how? eg:
$swis = Connect-Swis -user myuser -pw mypassword
2. To create a node, i can use the New-SwisObject cmdlet. There are basically 2 instances where I'd want to do this: creating a server or a network device like a switch etc. In either case, is it necessary to add one or more interfaces for that Orion.Node object or will Orion discover the interfaces when it polls it and add them itself?
3. Follow on from Q2 - can I force Orion to poll the device once I've added it?
4. Is it always necessary to use the NodeID when querying for a Orion.Node object? I've tried to use a select statement to do a query using "where Caption='myhost'" but it doesn't seem to like that.
