Orion SDK for Python

This project contains a python client for interacting with the SolarWinds Orion API

API Documentation

For documentation about the SolarWinds Orion API, please see the wiki, tools, and sample code (in languages other than Python) in the main OrionSDK project.

Install

pip install orionsdk

Usage

import orionsdk

swis = orionsdk.SwisClient("server", "username", "password")

aliases = swis.invoke('Metadata.Entity', 'GetAliases', 'SELECT B.Caption FROM Orion.Nodes B')

print(aliases)

SSL Certificate Verification

Initial support for SSL certificate valuation was added in 0.0.4. To enable this, you will need to save the self-signed cert to a file. One way of doing this is with OpenSSL:

openssl s_client -connect server:17778

Then add an entry to your hosts file for SolarWinds-Orion and you will be able to verify via doing the following:

import orionsdk
swis = orionsdk.SwisClient("SolarWinds-Orion", "username", "password", verify="server.pem")
swis.query("SELECT NodeID from Orion.Nodes")
