{"B":"Orion.Nodes"}

The Metadata.GetAliases verb takes one string argument and returns a PropertyBag.

To unmanage a node, the URL would be: https://server:17778/SolarWinds/InformationService/v3/Json/Invoke/Orion.Nodes/Unmanage and the post data would be:

["N:15", "2014-01-16T22:00Z", "2014-01-16T22:30Z", "false"]

Those timestamps are in ISO 8601 format, since JSON does not have a native datetime format.

Note: ordinarily the fourth parameter to Orion.Nodes.Unmanage is a boolean, so you would expect the json to just be false rather than the string "false", but we seem to have a parsing bug that causes it to get confused on the native JSON boolean. Fortunately if you pass it as a string it will figure it out and do the right thing.
