AvantGuard - NinjaOne

Overview

This node integrates with the AvantGuard NinjaOne platform to manage device maintenance tasks. Specifically, the "Cancel Device Maintenance" operation allows users to cancel an ongoing or scheduled maintenance event for a particular device identified by its unique ID. This is useful in scenarios where maintenance is no longer needed or was scheduled by mistake.

Practical examples include:

• Automatically cancelling maintenance if a device comes back online sooner than expected.
• Allowing IT administrators to revoke maintenance windows directly from their workflow automation.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the cancellation request. This typically includes confirmation that the maintenance was cancelled successfully or details about any errors encountered. The exact structure depends on the API response but generally contains status and message fields.

No binary data output is involved.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the AvantGuard NinjaOne platform.
• 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 cause the cancellation to fail.
  • Network or authentication errors if the API key or base URL are incorrect.
  • Attempting to cancel maintenance on a device that has no active maintenance scheduled may return an error or no-op response.

• Error messages:

  • Authentication failures usually indicate invalid API credentials; verify and update them.
  • "Device not found" or similar errors mean the provided device ID does not exist; check the ID value.
  • API rate limits or server errors require retry logic or contacting support.
