Solarwinds Custom Fields import ServiceGraph connector

[williame]

I was not able to find exactly how to do this on any forums/posts or even the SolarWindows Thwack. Through some trial and error and some troubleshooting with Solarwinds - we now can import these. 

Steps.

1. Edit the Flow Designer Action - ( or create your own) 
2. Under the Script Step - under Nodes Select statement add your custom properties seperated by a comma using Nodes.CustomProperties.CustomPropertyName
3. 1. Example Nodes.CustomProperties.Loc_Street_Address , Nodes.CustomProperties.ISP_Account_Number
4. That is it! It will import the data!

Hi William,

Are you using ServiceGraph for Solarwinds to import CI data into the CMDB?

We're doing some tests OOTB but it looks like the plugin is not really reliable for the moment (wrong data classes, missing CI...)

If you could share your thoughts about this plugin.

I have the same interest with the ServiceGraph connector for SolarWinds. We are getting ready to pilot the connector for populating server class attributes. I'd be interested in hearing any thoughts, feedback and lessons learned. Thank you!

@williame @Troy18 @Fr_d_ric Dhuez  We just got started with the lab setup with SolarWinds integration. We are able to get the Servers data matching what we have in the lab. Did you guys make any progress/findings which you wanna share here? 

Please share your achievements, challenges, blockers, etc.

Thanks,
R

Hello,

We'll start a new project soon to test the new ServiceGraph 2.4.1

But is it a good idea to customize the ServiceGraph instead of creating a new application with IH-ETL?

That's the point we're thinking...

@williame  , for the addition of custom properties , do we need to add that in Hardware or specific data stream action or generic one? bcz when I add that to hardware one it is showing error but previously it was working fine . 

error :Error in parsing data with data stream context 0cb4f7a235a607d05ac528991045116b com.glide.transform.transformer.exceptions.InvalidPathException: Could not find path in stream: $.results

@williame do we have add the 

1. Under the Script Step - under Nodes Select statement add your custom properties separated by a comma using Nodes.CustomProperties.CustomPropertyName

under specific Hardware data stream or SolarWinds test connection action we also need to add ?

Because once we add this under specific data sources we are getting below error : Error in parsing data with data stream context 0cb4f7a235a607d05ac528991045116b com.glide.transform.transformer.exceptions.InvalidPathException: Could not find path in stream: $.results

Can you please share your thoughts ?
