Overview

This Pre-Built Automation consist of three (3) workflows and two (2) forms that serve as templates for creating and deleting nodes in the SolarWinds Orion server. This Pre-Built was designed and tested on a SolarWinds Orion live server and the SolarWinds Adapter was utilized to connect to a live instance.

This Pre-Built consists of the following:

Operations Manager (SolarWinds-Orion-AddNode)
Operations Manager (SolarWinds-Orion-DeleteNodes)
Create WorkFlow (SolarWinds-Orion-AddNode)
Load Nodes WorkFlow (SolarWinds-Orion-LoadNodes)
Delete Nodes WorkFlow (SolarWinds-Orion-DeleteNodes)
JSON Add Node Form (SolarWinds-Orion-AddNode)
JSON Delete Node Form (SolarWinds-Orion-DeleteNode)
JST (Filter-NodeData-for-Uri)

Estimated Run Time: 1 mins

Main Workflows

Pictured below are the main workflows for creating and deleting a node.

Create Node

Below is a payload example required for creating a node.

  {
  "IPAddress":"10.16.201.45",
  "EngineID":1,
  "ObjectSubType":"SNMP",
  "SNMPVersion":2,
  "Community":"public",
  "DNS":"googledns.lab.local",
  "SysName":"googledns01.lab.local"
  }

Delete Node

The workflow to delete a node has two parts:

The nodes to delete from the Orion server are loaded.
A node list form is loaded by manual task. From this form, select and confirm the nodes for deletion.
