Overview

This node interacts with the AvantGuard DNSFilter API to retrieve details about a specific Scheduled Policy by its ID. It is useful in scenarios where users need to fetch configuration or status information of scheduled policies within their DNS filtering setup, such as auditing policy settings or integrating policy data into workflows.

For example, a user might want to automatically pull the details of a scheduled policy to verify its parameters before applying changes or generating reports.

Dependencies

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

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Providing an invalid or non-existent Scheduled Policy ID will likely result in an error or empty response.
    • Missing or incorrect API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Network connectivity issues can prevent successful API calls.
  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors usually indicate problems with the API key; ensure it is correctly set up.
    • "Not Found" or similar errors suggest the specified Scheduled Policy ID does not exist.
    • Timeout or connection errors imply network or service availability problems.

Resolving these typically involves verifying the input ID, checking API credentials, and ensuring network access to the DNSFilter API endpoint.
