All,
I’m new to SolarWinds and Orion and using your API with Perl. I can query the CMDB for existing node information using the sample.pl program so I know I have connectivity. Now I’m trying to add a node and am a little confused. As directed, I checked the “Orion SDK.pdf” document for details on adding a node, and that pointed me to a table titled “Required Properties by Protocol”. I’m trying to simply add a device for ICMP monitoring and according to the table, the minimum information I need to supply is the following;
EntityType – “Orion.Nodes”
IPAddress - <Simple IPv4 address>
IPAddressGUID - <?????????>
Caption - <Node/device name>
DynamicIP – “False”
EngineID – “1” (I assume)
Status – “1”
UnManaged – “False”
Allow64BitCounter – “False”
ObjectSubType – “ICMP”
Can someone tell me where I get an IPAddressGUID? Is it necessary?
Thanks.
