Find all SNMP:SnmpDevice and Policy

[Hazenet]

Hi

I am trying to automate SNMP creation/deletion and Policies, in vRealize Orchestrator, for a large amount of SNMP devices.

But I can't figure out how to get all SNMP:SnmpDevice already in the vRealize Orchestrator inventory.

Likewise, how would I get a array of all existing Policies in the vRealize Orchestrator

Hi,

Try the generic find method:

var all = Server.findAllForType("SNMP:SnmpDevice");
for each (var device in all) {
  System.log(device);
}

Similar code will work for policies, just replace "SNMP:SnmpDevice" with "Policy" .

Hi Ilian

I knew about the Server.findAllForType, but it does not work for "SNMP.SnmpDevice". And vRO fails to produce a output for "Policy"

var arrayOfPolicy = Server.findAllForType("Policy");
System.log(arrayOfPolicy.length);
var arrayOfSnmpDevices = Server.findAllForType("SNMP:SnmpDevice");
System.log(arrayOfSnmpDevices.length);

I get the following output:

[2017-05-02 10:19:59.195] [I] 3
[2017-05-02 10:19:59.202] [E] Server error : ch.dunes.model.sdk.SDKFinderException: Unable to execute 'fetchAll' for type : SnmpDevice : 'java.lang.NullPointerException'

*** End of execution stack.

On top of that, my Attribute "arrayOfPolicy" (with type Array/Policy) in the General tab, is not set.

So the system, finds the the Policies, but does not produce a output.

I am running vRealize Orchestrator 7.1.0.4262825

Sorry, was to quick here.

var arrayOfPolicy = Server.findAllForType("Policy");  
System.log(arrayOfPolicy.length); 

Works, and produces a output, if run alone, and not in a failing Scriptable Task element.

But the Server.findAllForType("SNMP:SnmpDevice") still fails.

[iiliev · Accepted solution]

Instead of

  Server.findAllForType("SNMP:SnmpDevice"); 

could you try with

  Server.findAllForType("SNMP:SnmpDevice", ""); 

?

The only difference is that it passes an empty string instead of null/undefined value to the second parameter (which is a plug-in specific query string; for SNMP plug-in there you can pass some string value and the method will filter SNMP devices and return only those whose address contains this query as a sub-string).

Thank you very much, Ilian.

This works.
