Overview

This node operation retrieves software patches for a specific device that are in pending, failed, or rejected states. It is useful for IT administrators or support teams who want to monitor and manage the patch status of devices within their network. For example, it can help identify which patches have not been successfully applied to a device, enabling timely troubleshooting or remediation.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id The unique identifier of the device for which to retrieve patch information.
Additional Query Parameters Optional filters to refine the query results:
- Status Filter patches by their status (e.g., pending, failed, rejected).
- Product Identifier Filter patches by a specific product identifier.
- Type Filter patches by patch type.
- Impact Filter patches by the impact level of the patch.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing details about the device's software patches that match the specified criteria. Each item in the output typically includes information such as patch identifiers, status, type, impact, and related metadata. This structured data allows further processing or reporting within n8n workflows.

If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would represent associated files or patch binaries, but this operation focuses on JSON metadata.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the AvantGuard NinjaOne service.
  • Needs the base URL of the NinjaOne API configured in the credentials.
  • Depends on the @avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-node package for OpenAPI integration.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Invalid or missing device ID will result in errors or empty responses.
    • Incorrect or expired API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Using unsupported filter values in additional query parameters may lead to no results or API errors.
  • Error Messages:

    • Authentication errors indicate issues with the API key or base URL configuration.
    • Validation errors may occur if required properties like "Id" are missing or invalid.
    • Network or timeout errors suggest connectivity problems with the NinjaOne API endpoint.

To resolve these, verify the device ID, ensure valid API credentials, and confirm network access to the API.
