Overview

The "Policies Destroy" operation in the Policies resource allows users to delete a specific policy by its unique identifier. This node is useful in scenarios where policies need to be programmatically removed from a system, such as cleaning up outdated or unnecessary policies, automating policy lifecycle management, or integrating policy deletion into larger workflows.

For example, an administrator might use this node to automatically remove security policies that are no longer relevant after a certain event or time period, ensuring the system remains clean and up-to-date without manual intervention.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The unique numeric identifier of the policy to be deleted. This is a required field.

Output

The output of this node typically contains a JSON object reflecting the result of the deletion operation. This may include confirmation of successful deletion or details about the deleted policy. Since the node deals with deleting a resource, the output primarily serves to confirm the action rather than returning detailed data.

No binary data output is expected from this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication with the external service managing the policies.
  • The node communicates with the service's REST API endpoint at https://api.dnsfilter.com.
  • Proper configuration of the API credentials within n8n is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Providing an invalid or non-existent policy ID will likely result in an error indicating the policy could not be found.
    • Missing or incorrect API authentication credentials will cause authorization failures.
    • Network connectivity issues can prevent the node from reaching the API endpoint.
  • Error Messages:

    • "Policy not found": Verify that the provided policy ID exists and is correct.
    • "Unauthorized" or "Authentication failed": Check that the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
    • Timeout or network errors: Ensure stable internet connection and that the API endpoint is reachable.
