Overview
This node integrates with the AvantGuard NinjaOne platform, specifically targeting device management. The "Update Node Attribute Values" operation under the "Devices" resource allows users to update attributes of a specific device by its identifier. This is useful in scenarios where device metadata or configuration needs to be programmatically modified, such as updating device status, location, or custom tags within an IT asset management workflow.
Practical examples include:
- Automatically updating device attributes after a maintenance task.
- Syncing device information from another system into NinjaOne.
- Adjusting device properties based on monitoring alerts or compliance checks.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Id | Device identifier (number). Specifies which device's attributes will be updated. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the update operation. This typically includes confirmation of the updated device attributes and any relevant metadata returned by the NinjaOne API. The output structure aligns with the NinjaOne API response for device updates, providing details about the device post-update.
No binary data output is indicated.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the AvantGuard NinjaOne platform.
- The base URL for the NinjaOne API must be configured in the node credentials.
- Depends on the
@avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-nodepackage and the included OpenAPI specification (openapi.json) for request building and validation.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing device ID: Ensure the "Id" property is correctly set to an existing device number.
- Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
- Network or connectivity problems: Confirm that the base URL is reachable and correct.
Error messages:
- Unauthorized or 401 errors indicate authentication failure; check API credentials.
- 404 Not Found may mean the device ID does not exist.
- Validation errors if required fields are missing or malformed.
Resolving these usually involves verifying input parameters, credentials, and network settings.
