Overview

This node operation retrieves the list of installed software patches on a specific device. It is useful in IT management and security scenarios where administrators need to audit patch status, verify compliance, or troubleshoot issues related to software updates on endpoints.

For example, an IT admin can use this node to:

  • Get all patches installed on a device identified by its ID.
  • Filter patches by type (e.g., security, critical), impact, or installation date.
  • Check if a particular patch has been applied before or after a certain date.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id Device identifier (number) for which to retrieve installed software patches.
Additional Query Parameters Optional filters to refine the patch list:
- Type Patch Type filter (string).
- Impact Patch Impact filter (string).
- Status Patch Status filter (string).
- Product Identifier Product Identifier filter (string).
- Installed Before Include patches installed before this date (string, date format expected).
- Installed After Include patches installed after this date (string, date format expected).

Output

The output JSON contains an array of software patches installed on the specified device. Each patch object typically includes details such as patch type, impact, status, product identifier, and installation date.

If binary data were involved (e.g., patch files), it would be summarized here, but this operation focuses on metadata about installed patches only.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the AvantGuard NinjaOne service.
  • The node uses the base URL and authentication headers configured in the credentials.
  • No additional external dependencies are indicated.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid device ID: Ensure the "Id" property is set correctly and corresponds to an existing device.
  • API authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is valid and has necessary permissions.
  • Invalid query parameters: Filters like dates must be in correct format; otherwise, the API may reject the request.
  • Empty results: Could indicate no patches matching the filters or device has no installed patches.
