Import API pollers into SAM

You can select an API poller from a file on your local drive or a network location, and then import it into the SolarWinds Platform Web Console. Supported files use the following suffix: .apipoller.template.

More templates are available in the SAM section in the Content Exchange area on THWACK, as posted by solarwinds_worldwide_llc and tagged with an API Poller label. After you download a template from THWACK, import it into SAM on the Manage API Pollers page, as described here.

To import an API poller: 

  1. Click Settings > All Settings > Manage API Pollers > API Poller Templates tab.

  2. Click Import.

  3. In the Import API Poller dialog box, click Browse to select a file, and then click Import.

    Once imported, you can assign to a node.

    If you need to add a new managed node for the API poller, use the Add Node wizard.
