The sample code shows this:

swis.update(uri + '/CustomProperties', City='Austin')

But when I:

property = 'City'
value = 'Austin'
props = { property : value }

swis.update(uri + '/CustomProperties', props)

The update fails with:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./custom_property_update.py", line 67, in <module>
update_props(hostid, prop, value)
File "./custom_property_update.py", line 43, in update_props
swis.update(uri + '/CustomProperties', {prop:value} )
TypeError: update() takes exactly 2 arguments (3 given)

Can somebody help?

I experience timeout after 30 seconds, and I tried to modify the client module to increase timeout (passing the arg to requests module:

def _req(self, method, frag, data=None):
resp = requests.request(method, self.url + frag,
data=json.dumps(data, default=_json_serial),
verify=self.verify,
auth=self.credentials,
headers={'Content-Type': 'application/json'},
timeout=500.0)

Perhaps timeout should be exposed to users?
Secondly - my efforts did not work - I assume I need to tweak settings in the webserver..

Can someone explain to me why there is a hardcoded port in the url? My solarwinds runs on a different port and now I have to hack the code to make it work...

Hi
I'm using the example code try and SuppressAlerts, but I keep getting the error "403 Client Error: Access to Orion.AlertSuppression.SuppressAlerts verb denied".

This is my code:
sw = orionsdk.SwisClient('server', 'username', 'password') uri = sw.query("SELECT Uri FROM Orion.Nodes WHERE NodeID=@node_id", node_id=17918)['results'][0]['Uri'] print( sw.invoke('Orion.AlertSuppression', 'GetAlertSuppressionState', [uri]) ) print( sw.invoke('Orion.AlertSuppression', 'SuppressAlerts', [uri], datetime.datetime.now(), None) )

The example was taken from #34

The exact error:
requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 403 Client Error: Access to Orion.AlertSuppression.SuppressAlerts verb denied. for url: https://solarwinds-orion:17778/SolarWinds/InformationService/v3/Json/Invoke/Orion.AlertSuppression/SuppressAlerts

Performing the action through the gui with the samen user account, will allow me to suppress alerts. Any idea what this could be?

Running SolarWinds 2023.1.

... but the documentation on the github age applies to version 0.0.8. if one installs the sdk via pip (as documented) and then one tries to use the exposed session object, one gets an exception.

I am trying to utilize the invoke method to get the alert suppression state, suppress alerts, and resume alerts for a node. When the invoke method gets run it raises an http error:

requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 400 Client Error: Verb Orion.AlertSuppression.ResumeAlerts cannot unpackage parameter 0 with type System.String[] for url: https://orion.servername.com:17778/SolarWinds/InformationService/v3/Json/Invoke/Orion.AlertSuppression/ResumeAlerts

An example that fails is this script below

import orionsdk
import datetime

sw = orionsdk.SwisClient('server', 'username', 'password')
uri = sw.query("SELECT Uri FROM Orion.Nodes WHERE NodeID=@node_id", node_id=1179)['results'][0]['Uri']

# get suppression State fails
sw.invoke('Orion.AlertSuppression', 'GetAlertSuppressionState', uri)

# suppressing alerts fails
sw.invoke('Orion.AlertSuppression', 'SuppressAlerts', uri, datetime.datetime.now(), None)

# resume alerts fails
sw.invoke('Orion.AlertSuppression', 'ResumeAlerts', uri)

I have validate that the username + password I am using allows me to do other things via the API and when I manually paste the URI into SWQL studio doing an invoke on GetAlertSuppressionState it does return data.

Im not sure what I am doing wrong.

Previously, the SwisClient supported invoking SELECT statements using the '*' wildcard to query all results from a specific table.

Ex.

sw = SwisClient('server', 'user', 'pword')
q = sw.query('SELECT * FROM Orion.Nodes')

This above code returns an error (see attached) that basically says the '*' character cannot be used as input. Has support for this wild card been taken away? I've tried this using python 3.7 and python 2.7.17 and received the same error.

Does anyone know the correct syntax for creating dynamic query with a filter using a variable (sitecode) contained in the DNS name:

"filter:/Orion.Nodes[Contains(DNS,sitecode)]"

I can use a string here, not sure how to add a variable

The company I work for is currently using this client, but we are providing our certificate on a different port number. So, the only way to fix this issue is to provide a way to insert our own port number to match which port we serve our certificate.

Potential changes: Make changes to pass port_number in with a default value of 17778. Then do a string insertion into the url to specify the port number wanted. The change would be located here:
https://github.com/solarwinds/orionsdk-python/blob/master/orionsdk/swisclient.py#L14 (and line 15)

Is there a pythonic way to test SNMP creds through restAPI. If not API, I am fine with any procedure other than manually doing it.

Here is what I am referring to

Clicking on TEST would say whether I can connect to device using those credentials.

Please help me, thanks in advance.

Here is a small code snippet that I use to add a node for monitoring:

res = client.create('Orion.Nodes', **props)

nodeid = re.search(r'(\d+)$', res).group(0)

for k,v in custom_props.items():
    client.update(res+'/CustomProperties',**{k: v})

client.invoke('Orion.HardwareHealth.HardwareInfo', 'EnableHardwareHealth', 'N:'+nodeid, 9)

_add_pollers(client, nodeid, 'default')
_add_pollers(client, nodeid, poller_template)

client.invoke('Orion.Nodes', 'PollNow', 'N:'+nodeid )

Even after I invoked HardwareInfo, my CPU and Memory stats are not getting collected.

To be precise, in NPM, when you click the link "list resources" on the node page, it enumerates all the hardware and interfaces details. There were select CPU and memory for stats collection. I want to achieve the same through code.

What am I missing?

I'm not sure how exactly this happened, but if you look at SwisClient in the .tar.gz in PyPi it doesn't have the bulkdelete method even though the 3.0.0 tag source does have it. Could you reupload the source .tar.gz to PyPi so that bulkdelete exists again? Thanks!

There's an issue with the example for unmanage where it's not using the right variable name. Will send a PR later today.

I am trying to update the following fields in NCM.
uri = 'swis://orion-npm.ad.utah.edu/Orion/NCM.Nodes/NodeID=C8B848D4-EFE0-4386-9079-10057E8B2F9C'
props = {'SNMPLevel': 3, 'SNMPUsername':XXXXX, 'SNMPAuthType':'MD5', 'SNMPAuthPass':'XXXXXX, 'SNMPEncryptType':'DES', 'SNMPEncryptPass':XXXXXX} self.swis.update(uri, **props)

I get the following Error:

Hello,

I'm trying to disable specific hardware sensors using the orionsdk Python module.

I was referencing this (https://thwack.solarwinds.com/product-forums/the-orion-platform/f/orion-sdk/42733/disabling-hardware-health-sensors) and trying to convert the Powershell to its Python equivalent, but I'm getting this error:

requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 400 Client Error: Verb Orion.HardwareHealth.HardwareItemBase.DisableSensors cannot unpackage parameter 0 with type System.Collections.Generic.IEnumerable`1[SolarWinds.HardwareHealth.Common.Models.HardwareHealth.HardwareHealthItemKey] for url: https://xxxxxxx:17778/SolarWinds/InformationService/v3/Json/Invoke/Orion.HardwareHealth.HardwareItem/DisableSensors

Is there an example of disabling a specific hardware sensor using the "DisableSensors" verb under 'Orion.HardwareHealth.HardwareItem'?

xml = f"<array><HardwareHealthItemKey><HardwareInfoID>{hardware_info_id}</HardwareInfoID><HardwareCategoryStatusID>{hardware_category_status_id}</HardwareCategoryStatusID><UniqueName>{unique_name}</UniqueName></HardwareHealthItemKey></array>"
...

swis.invoke('Orion.HardwareHealth.HardwareItem', 'DisableSensors', xml)

Thanks!

add_node.py sample expects "poller_type" while trying to insert a new node into orion. Could any please guide how to get poller_types for new node.

Hi,

how can i create schedule to suppress alerts for example suppress the alert from 8pm to 9pm.

thanks,
Ahmad.

If someone already has an example using the IPAM API (via python) to get the next available IP address from a specified subnet, please add, otherwise, I'll start working on it and get a PR in soon.

Hi,

no matter how I format the date for the unmanage function i get the same error as per below.

swis.invoke('Orion.Nodes', 'Unmanage', netObjectId, '01-14-2017 00:00:00', '01-14-2017 06:00:00', True)
{u'Message': u'Input string was not in a correct format.', u'ExceptionType': u'System.FormatException', u'FullException': u'System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.\r\n at SolarWinds.InformationService.Verb.VerbExecutor.Invoke(Object hostInstance, Object[] parameters)\r\n at SolarWinds.InformationService.Verb.VerbExecutorContext.Invoke()\r\n at SolarWinds.InformationService.Core.InformationService.Invoke[T](String entity, String verb, Action1 setupParameters, Func2 extractReturnValue)'}

When a call to SWIS throws an error (HTTP 4xx or 5xx), the python client raises an error. In these cases, the SWIS response includes a json-encoded object with some details about the cause of the error. Including these details in the python error object would help users understand and resolve the problem.

Has this been implemented yet?

I'm about to submit a pull request for a solarwinds class file I've been working on. It basically let's you supply the IP, username and password for your SolarWinds NPM instance and then has an array of methods you can call to make updates to your system. However the real power of the class is that all of the method calls are done using nothing more than the human readable names that are used throughout the GUI. All of the ID's, URI's, and SQL calls are abstracted out and done behind the scenes. The thought process is that this creates a lower bar for entry into Solarwinds programmability. You are able to get started updating your system programmatically without having to have a detailed knowledge of the inner workings of Solarwinds. What I'm uploading is an initial draft based on some activities we're doing in house. The hope would be to grow the class file over time as additional needs surfaced form the community. Also, given the file is a python class file it's call init.py but should really be placed in a directory called 'solarwinds'. I wasn't sure how to make that happen within the github repository and the rights I have. Feel free to rearrange that.

any idea what I need to do to address this issue?

Is there or will there be a way to create alerts and application monitors using this python SDK or is there another one that does this?

When attempting to add group members in the manner below, Site being a node custom property, the filter returns all nodes in the system, and all nodes are added to the group.

group members

[
{'Name': site, 'Definition': "filter:/Orion.Nodes[Site={0}]".format(site)},
]

When I look at the dynamic query in the GUI I see that the conditions are set for Address, which is another custom property, is, then the value for my site variable. I am not sure why this matches all nodes in the system.

Any insight into how I might be able to filter with custom properties would be greatly appreciated.

ICMP Devices we've added into SW using Orionsdk-python are listed 2x under Manage Nodes.
Here are the details:

1. ICMP devices only
2. Edit Resources shows Polling Method is ICMP, however, if you select SNMP the community string is pre-populated with "public"
3. ICMP devices that are discovered using Add Node are not listed 2x and if you select SNMP, the string field is blank.
4. The devices are listed 2x only under Manage Nodes + both entries have the same Node ID.

As far as I can tell, these devices are not listed 2x anywhere else; i.e, not when executing a search, not in the All Nodes Summary on the homepage, not in reports, etc...

Has anyone else seen this type of issue?

thanks,
LM

Ever since upgrading to 2019.4, my Python script that sets interfaces on a node that are in the "Down" state to the "Unplugged" state isn't working. The script will run and the Down interfaces will be transitioned to the Unplugged state, but will immediately transition back to the Down state after only a few seconds.

Below is the script that I tried to get resources list of a node:

    jobid = swis.invoke('Orion.Nodes', 'ScheduleListResources',NodeID)
    print(jobid)

    time.sleep(60)
    
    while True:
        results = swis.invoke('Orion.Nodes', 'GetScheduledListResourcesStatus', jobid,NodeID)
        print(results)
        if(results=='ReadyForImport'):
            break

    results = swis.invoke('Orion.Nodes', 'ImportListResourcesResult', jobid,NodeID)
    print(results)

The SWIS REST API supports deleting many objects in a single batch - see https://github.com/solarwinds/OrionSDK/wiki/REST#bulkdelete-request. But the Python client lacks a wrapper for this feature. The implementation is pretty simple:

	self._req("POST", "BulkDelete", {'uris': uris})

Hi,
Is there a method utilising the SDK to find which devices have a certain ACL, for example access-list 101?
Thanks

Hi Guys,

Im getting the following error when trying use the Python class to add a node to NPM that uses SNMPv3;

[mw@ansible-001 orion]$ python add_node.py
Add an SNMP v3 node:
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/requests/packages/urllib3/connection.py:340: SubjectAltNameWarning: Certificate for solarwinds-orion has no `subjectAltName`, falling back to check for a `commonName` for now.

requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 400 Client Error: Specified cast is not valid. for url: https://solarwinds-orion:17778/SolarWinds/InformationService/v3/Json/Create/Orion.Nodes

This is my python script, its just to get a feel for the NPM API and this Python class:

[me@ansible-001 orion]$ cat add_node.py
from __future__ import print_function
import re
import requests
from orionsdk import SwisClient


def main():
   npm_server = 'SolarWinds-Orion'
   username = 'sw-user'
   password = 'sw-pass'


   swis = SwisClient(npm_server, username, password, verify="SolarWinds-Orion.pem")

   # Only need one of [DisplayName, Caption, NodeName]
   Orion_Nodes = {
      'DisplayName': "cpe",
      'Description': "cpe",
      'NodeDescription': "my cpe",
      'Location': "Lab",
      'UnManaged': False,
      'Allow64BitCounters': True,
      'ObjectSubType': "SNMP",
      'EngineID': 1,
      'IPAddress': "10.116.26.80",
      'SNMPVersion': '3',
      'SNMPV3Username': "snmpv3-user",
      'SNMPV3PrivMethod': "AES128",
      'SNMPV3PrivKeyIsPwd': True,
      'SNMPV3PrivKey': "snmpv3-priv-key",
      'SNMPV3AuthKey': "snmpv3-auth-key",
      'SNMPV3AuthMethod': "MD5",
      'SNMPV3AuthKeyIsPwd': True
   }

   print("Add an SNMP v3 node:")
   print("Adding node {}... ".format(Orion_Nodes['IPAddress']), end="")
   results = swis.create('Orion.Nodes', **Orion_Nodes)
   print("DONE!")

if __name__ == '__main__':
   main()

This node is actually added to SNMP however all the SNMPv3 details are missing, as per this screenshot:

This is on Orion Platform 2017.1, NPM 12.1, I'm using Python 2.7.5. I can add the device manually through the web GUI using SNMPv3 without issue. I can also add the device using SNMP v2c via the GUI and API. It is just SNMPv3 via the API that is not working.

I can open a support case on the SW site too if that helps?

Please let me know what further info I can provide to help diagnose this issue.

When using DiscoverInterfacesOnNode verb i'm getting all interfaces with ifOperStatus = 4 and ifAdminStatus = 0 regardless if the interface is up or not. Can you please correct that

Pip repo needs to be updated

Hi, this is not an issue, just a question that I can't seem to find it anywhere. Is there a way to test the assigned snmp-credentials to a node are correct? Just like the 'test' button on the "Edit Node" section.
Thank you.

I'm trying to automate how we interact with Solarwinds in regards to adding nodes, updating nodes, etc... I've created a python Script that successfully adds a node and fills in the SNMPv3 properties in the "Edit Node" section within the created node. Does the syntax exist to also fill in the RW SNMPv3 properties in the "Edit Node" section?

I looked at the "def add_node_using_snmp_v3" within solarwinds.py and I don't see anything within node properties for RW, and anytime I add RW to the properties in my configuration, I get "requests.exceptions.HTTPError: 400 Client Error: Invalid column name 'SNMPv3RWUsername'," for example. I've also tried "RWUsername," but I always get the same error.

I'm presuming the column headers don't exist yet, but I'd be grateful if anyone knows how to do it because if I can't fill in the RW portion, there really isn't any point in automating this yet.

If my full code is needed, I can provide it, but it just follows the "def add_node_using_snmp_v3" Thanks!

I am trying to add a node using rest api, soon after adding the node trying to change the credentialID using the below code

prop = {
"NodeID": nodeid, 
"SettingName": "ROSNMPCredentialID",        
"SettingValue": credentialID     
}
result = swis.create("Orion.NodeSettings", **prop)

but i see 2 credentialID's for single nodeID in "Orion.NodeSettings" .

Please let me know if there is any solution to get rid of earlier credentialID

Hi, we would like to switch Orion endpoint to port 17774 but i dont see any option in manual on how to use different port than 17778 in the code

https://github.com/solarwinds/orionsdk-python#usage
import orionsdk
swis = orionsdk.SwisClient("server", "username", "password")

all i can find is above to build connection to orion which defaults to 17778

swis.invoke('Orion.Nodes', 'PollNow', 'N' + nodeid)
