Creating outages via ReST

Hi All,

I've been trying to create outages via the ReST api, and am able to do so when using the numeric node id.

According to the wiki, the following code works:

$user = "admin"
$pass = "password"
$secpasswd = ConvertTo-SecureString $pass -AsPlainText -Force
$credential = New-Object System.Management.Automation.PSCredential($user, $secpasswd)

$body = '<?xml version="1.0"?>
           <outage name="Test-Outage" type="specific">
           <time day="friday" begins="10:02:00" ends="10:15:00" />
           <time begins="08-Sep-2017 10:00:00" ends="08-Sep-2017 10:15:00" />
           <node id="233" />
         </outage>'

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri "http://opennms.domain.com:8980/opennms/rest/sched-outages/" -Credential $credential -Method Post -Body $body -ContentType 'application/xml'


Which I was able to use to get a bash shell script working.  However, it would be easier for my code if I could pass in the Foreign Source and Foreign Id rather than the numeric node ID.

How do I pass in the Foreign Source and Foreign ID rather than the node id when trying to create outages via ReST?

Regards,
John
