Ability to add / update multiple custom properities per device

[jmossuk]

Hi Steve,

Long time no speak, I hope you are keeping well. Is there a simple way to either add or update multiple custom properties per device in a single request to LM. The reason I ask is that right now for each device we have 15 custom properties so when we are doing a bulk update every night we run into the issue with the rate limit issue of more than 200 requests per minute.

Is there a cmdlet which would allow us to overcome this?

What would be nice is if we can define all the custom properties with there values in a single array and then make one request which would either create the entries if they don't exist or if they already exist to update them. Given the number of devices we had, this would really help.

@jmossuk what cmdlets are you using to perform the update? You should just be able to use the normal Set-LMDevice cmdlet and specify just the -Properties parameter that takes a hashtable of custom properties to add/update.

Hi Steve,

I've tried using the Set-LMDevice cmdlet and using a hashtable but it seems to be throwing an error message and I'm wondering if it's because some custom properties don't exist whereas some do, any ideas?

Here are a few screenshots of the contents of the hashtable, part of the code which populates the hashtable and tries to add / update the device and also the error message I'm getting.

Is it because I can't do an add and an update in the same command? any ideas I would be most grateful for.

Not sure if it matters but I'm using the latest version of your module (3.9.2)

Best regards

Jamie

I cannot see the screenshots you tried to post but I am also unable to reproduce the issue on my end. The property update method is controlled via the parameter -PropertiesMethod which by default is set to "replace". That would update existing properties or create them if they do not exist.

See the example below:

@jmossuk Are you still having the issue? If so can you repost your images so I can see how you are running the command.
