Overview

This node interacts with the AvantGuard CIPP API to retrieve security alert information related to execution sets within a list resource. Specifically, the "Retrieve Exec Set Security Alert" operation fetches detailed security alert data based on several query parameters such as GUID, provider, status, tenant filter, and vendor.

This node is beneficial in scenarios where users need to programmatically monitor or audit security alerts tied to execution sets in their systems, enabling automated workflows for security incident management, compliance checks, or alert aggregation.

Practical example:
A security operations team could use this node to automatically pull the latest exec set security alerts filtered by specific vendors and providers, then trigger notifications or further processing steps when certain alert statuses are detected.

Properties

Name Meaning
Guid The unique identifier (GUID) of the execution set for which to retrieve the security alert.
Provider The name or identifier of the provider associated with the execution set.
Status The status filter for the security alert (e.g., active, resolved).
Tenantfilter A filter specifying the tenant context to scope the security alert retrieval.
Vendor The vendor associated with the execution set or alert.

All these properties are required string inputs and are sent as query parameters in the API request.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the retrieved security alert details for the specified execution set. The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes fields describing the alert's attributes such as identifiers, status, timestamps, provider/vendor info, and possibly additional metadata.

There is no indication that the node outputs binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the AvantGuard CIPP API.
  • The base URL for the API is configured via credentials (resourceApiUrl).
  • Uses the @avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-node package and an OpenAPI specification (openapi.json) bundled with the node for request building.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid credentials: Ensure the API key and base URL are correctly configured in the node credentials.
  • Required properties not provided: All input properties (Guid, Provider, Status, Tenantfilter, Vendor) are mandatory; missing any will likely cause the request to fail.
  • API errors: If the API returns errors (e.g., 4xx or 5xx HTTP status), verify that the query parameters are correct and that the API service is reachable.
  • Network issues: Confirm network connectivity to the configured API endpoint.
