Automation of adding nodes into Solarwinds

Hi All

We are looking at using Chef to automate server deployment and part of this work would be:

1. Lookup in IPAM the next available address in a subnet, reserve it and add the hostname to the reservation

2. Chef passes a name/IP and node creation (and possible node type or template name) request to Solarwinds for monitoring

3. Solarwinds adds the above node and enables a predefined set of base monitors.

The next parts are to do with Chef running scripts to talk to Solarwind

1. 1.       Chef sends a script to disable monitoring of an existing node
2. 2.       Chef sends a script to enable monitoring of an existing node
3. 3.       Chef sends a script to delete an existing node

If anyone has any automation style scripts they can share, or any pitfalls to avoid when doing this work I would appreciate any input

Thanks

Simon
