Powershell API call to POST custom property
Hello. Trying to get the code right with powershell to use the API to add a custom property to a device. The custom property is a CityCode that we are using.
I am an Administrator in our instance so i should have access to do everything and i am also using Token Authentication for the API call. Basing my code off of the example given here REST API v1 Examples | LogicMonitor
The response i am getting back when i run this is ERRMSG - Property name cannot be null or empty ... Status - 1007.
code is as follows. account info details removed for obvious reasons. $resourcePath is the device i am attempting to POST to and $data is what i would like to add as a custom Property.
<# Use TLS 1.2 #>
[Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12
<# account info #>
$accessId =
$accessKey =
$company =
<# request details #>
$httpVerb = 'POST'
$resourcePath = '/device/devices/6101/properties'
$data = '{"Type":"customProperties","Name":"CityCode","Value":"CMP"}'
<# Construct URL #>
$url = 'https://' + $company + '.logicmonitor.com/santaba/rest' + $resourcePath
<# Get current time in milliseconds #>
$epoch = [Math]::Round((New-TimeSpan -start (Get-Date -Date "1/1/1970") -end (Get-Date).ToUniversalTime()).TotalMilliseconds)
<# Concatenate Request Details #>
$requestVars = $httpVerb + $epoch + $data + $resourcePath
<# Construct Signature #>
$hmac = New-Object System.Security.Cryptography.HMACSHA256
$hmac.Key = [Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($accessKey)
$signatureBytes = $hmac.ComputeHash([Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($requestVars))
$signatureHex = [System.BitConverter]::ToString($signatureBytes) -replace '-'
$signature = [System.Convert]::ToBase64String([System.Text.Encoding]::UTF8.GetBytes($signatureHex.ToLower()))
<# Construct Headers #>
$auth = 'LMv1 ' + $accessId + ':' + $signature + ':' + $epoch
$headers = New-Object "System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary[[String],[String]]"
$headers.Add("Authorization",$auth)
$headers.Add("Content-Type",'application/json')
<# Make Request #>
$response = Invoke-RestMethod -Uri $url -Method $httpVerb -Body $data -Header $headers
<# Print status and body of response #>
$status = $response.status
$body = $response.data| ConvertTo-Json -Depth 5
#Write-Host "Status:$status"
#Write-Host "Response:$body"
I can't test this right now but per https://www.logicmonitor.com/support/rest-api-developers-guide/v1/devices/add-device-properties (for APIv1) but you don't provide the type (it's assumed custom since that is all you can do anyway). Also I think capitalization might be important and you should use "name" and "value" lowercase.
