Discovery - Interface Selection (PowerShell)

[packetmagic]

Setting the InterfacesDiscoveryPluginContext doesn't appear to actually do anything. The discovery works but does not select interfaces based on the option set in InterfacesDiscoveryPluginContext.

When I edit the discovery in the GUI the interface selection settings do not match those set in the code.

Running 2019.4

I am experiencing the same issue in Python.

`

orion_engine_id = 2 # Designate a specific engine to complete discovery
snmpDiscoveryCreds = getCreds()
# Select current subnet for discovery
district = networks[network][2]
subnet = list(networks[network])

# If CIDR
if networks[network][3]:
    sub = {
        'SubnetIP'   :  networks[network][0],
        'SubnetMask' :  networks[network][1]   
    }
    corePluginContext = {
    'Subnets'                       :   [sub],
    'Credentials'                   :   snmpDiscoveryCreds,
    'WmiRetriesCount'               :   0,
    'WmiRetryIntervalMiliseconds'   :   1000,
    'IsDiscoveryForVimEnabled'      :   False
    }

else:
    iprange = {
        'StartAddress'   :  networks[network][0],
        'EndAddress' :  networks[network][1]   
    }
    corePluginContext = {
    'IpRanges'                      :   [iprange],

    'WmiRetryIntervalMiliseconds'   :   1000,
    'IsDiscoveryForVimEnabled'      :   False
    }

interfacePluginContext = {
'AutoImportStatus': ['Up'] # Also available: Down, Shutdown
}

# Create core PluginConfigurationItem for Orion
corePluginConfig = swis.invoke('Orion.Discovery', 'CreateCorePluginConfiguration', corePluginContext)

Apparently this is a bug introduced in 2019.4 version. We used this feature and worked well in 2019.2

I know this is old but I working on a discovery script for solarwinds and was stuck on this same issue all day. The command actually works fine, I discovered me, you and bunch of other people were just setting up the xml wrong. If you want to pass multiple plugin configurations it needs to look like the following:

     <PluginConfigurations>
	<PluginConfiguration>
		<PluginConfigurationItem>$($CorePluginConfiguration.InnerXml)</PluginConfigurationItem>
	</PluginConfiguration>
	<PluginConfiguration>
		<PluginConfigurationItem>$($InterfacesPluginConfiguration.InnerXml)</PluginConfigurationItem>
	</PluginConfiguration>
</PluginConfigurations>
