AvantGuard - DNSFilter

Overview

This node interacts with the AvantGuard DNSFilter API to retrieve details about a specific Policy IP entry. It is useful when you need to fetch information about a particular IP policy configured in your DNS filtering setup, such as for auditing, monitoring, or automation purposes.

A practical example would be automating the retrieval of policy IP details by providing the policy IP ID, which can then be used in workflows to make decisions or update other systems based on the policy's attributes.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The unique identifier (ID) of the Policy IP entry you want to retrieve. This is a required numeric value.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the details of the specified Policy IP. This typically includes all relevant fields returned by the API for that policy IP, such as IP address, associated rules, status, and metadata.

No binary data output is involved.

Dependencies

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

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Providing an invalid or non-existent Policy IP ID will likely result in an error or empty response.
    • Missing or incorrect API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Network connectivity issues may prevent the node from reaching the API endpoint.
  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors usually indicate invalid or missing API keys; verify and update credentials accordingly.
    • "Not Found" or similar errors suggest the provided Policy IP ID does not exist; double-check the ID.
    • Timeout or network errors require checking internet connection and firewall settings.
