AvantGuard - DNSFilterInstall

Overview

This node updates an existing Allowed URL entry in the AvantGuard DNSFilter service. It is useful for managing URL filters by modifying specific allowed URLs identified by their unique ID. Typical use cases include automating updates to URL allowlists, such as adding new URLs or changing existing ones to control network access policies dynamically.

For example, you might use this node to update a URL that should be allowed through your DNS filtering system without manual intervention, ensuring your network security policies stay current with minimal effort.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the API after updating the Allowed URL entry. This typically includes confirmation of the updated resource and its current state. There is no binary output.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the AvantGuard DNSFilter API.
• The node communicates with the DNSFilter API endpoint at https://api.dnsfilter.com.
• The node expects JSON-formatted input for the Allowed URL field when updating.

Troubleshooting

• Invalid or missing Id: If the provided Id does not correspond to an existing Allowed URL entry, the API will likely return an error. Ensure the Id is correct and exists.
• Malformed JSON in Allowed Url: The Allowed Url field must be valid JSON. Invalid JSON will cause parsing errors before sending the request.
• Authentication errors: Make sure the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
• Network issues: Connectivity problems to the DNSFilter API endpoint can cause failures; verify network access.
