Overview

This node integrates with the AvantGuard DNSFilter API to suggest a threat related to a domain name (FQDN). It allows users to submit a fully qualified domain name along with notes and optional security categories to report or verify potential threats associated with that domain. This is useful in cybersecurity workflows where automated threat intelligence sharing or domain reputation management is needed.

Practical examples include:

  • Security analysts submitting suspicious domains for further investigation.
  • Automated systems reporting newly detected malicious domains.
  • Enriching threat intelligence platforms with user-provided context on domain threats.

Properties

Name Meaning
Fqdn The fully qualified domain name (FQDN) to verify or suggest as a threat.
Notes User notes providing additional context or information about the threat suggestion.
Additional Query Parameters Optional parameters; currently supports: Categories - comma-separated IDs of security categories to associate with the threat suggestion.

Output

The node outputs JSON data returned by the AvantGuard DNSFilter API after submitting the threat suggestion. This typically includes confirmation of the submission, any identifiers assigned to the suggestion, and possibly status or error messages from the API.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the AvantGuard DNSFilter service.
  • The node sends HTTP requests to https://api.dnsfilter.com.
  • Proper configuration of the API key credential within n8n is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Missing or invalid API key will cause authentication failures.
    • Providing an invalid or malformed FQDN may result in API errors.
    • Network connectivity issues can prevent successful API calls.
  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors typically indicate problems with the API key; ensure it is correctly configured.
    • Validation errors from the API may indicate missing required fields like Fqdn or Notes.
    • Rate limiting or quota exceeded errors require checking API usage limits.

Resolving these usually involves verifying credentials, ensuring all required properties are set, and confirming network access.
