I was looking into the API to see if there is a way to auto create a
probe or set of probes programmatically. We have a highly
virtualized environment and are using puppet to provision and manage
configuration. What I'd love to be able to do is create a class in
puppet that will create probes on our intermapper server when a
machine is first provisioned using what puppet already knows about
the services assigned to that server.
You can probably hook the HTTP API (5.2 or later) to do this pretty
easily: Puppet would just need to create an import file with the new
machine's info & then feed it to the HTTP API's import hook. The only
caveats being you might need to get intimately familiar with the
improbe:// URI, and I'm not sure about creating probe groups (The
procedure doesn't jump out at me looking at a map export and I didn't
find anything in a quick glance through the docs, so you may have to
group your equipment manually when you're done).

has the details (import file formats are linked from there)
