10.4.1 - use of Orion.Discovery verbs

$

I was using the SWQL Studio to look through a server newly updated to NPM 10.4.1 and noticed the verbs "CreateCorePluginConfiguration" and "StartDiscovery" on the new Orion.Discovery object. I was able to pull out the XML templates for their parameters from the Metadata.VerbArgument section, but I'm not clear on their usage. For some context, we're trying to programmatically add interfaces to a node and only add the new interfaces that are in an up/up state. It looks like we can do it if the interfaces are in the Orion.NPM.DiscoveredInterfaces table, but we don't know how to get them there and we're hoping/assuming that using these verbs will get them there.

 

I have three questions about actually using these verbs, and hoping someone here can provide some insight:

  1. Would using these verbs actually add a node/interfaces to the DiscoveredNodes/DiscoveredInterfaces tables, as we're hoping?
  2. It looks like we could use StartDiscovery if we can update the discovery engine on the fly to only discover the relevant IP address. Is this possible via SWIS? If so, does anyone have any guidance on updating the ranges for the discovery engine?
  3. It looks like CreateCorePluginConfiguration might get us what we want (i.e., a request to only discover specific IPs in a range.) Is there any guidance available on using this method in conjunction with StartDiscovery to do that?

 

Thanks!
