Overview

This node integrates with the AvantGuard NinjaOne platform to retrieve a specific installer file for a given location. It is useful in IT management scenarios where administrators need to programmatically obtain installation packages tailored to particular operating systems and deployment locations. For example, an IT admin can automate fetching the correct MSI installer for Windows machines at a certain office location or get the appropriate Linux DEB package for devices in another site.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id Numeric identifier representing the unique ID of the installer resource to fetch.
Location Id Numeric identifier specifying the target location for which the installer is requested.
Installer Type The type/format of the installer package to retrieve. Options include:
- WINDOWS MSI
- MAC DMG
- MAC PKG
- LINUX DEB
- LINUX RPM
- LINUX ARM 64 DEB
- LINUX ARMV 7 A DEB
- LINUX ARM 64 RPM
- LINUX ARMV 7 A RPM

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing details about the requested installer for the specified location. This typically includes metadata such as download URLs, version information, and installer attributes. If the installer binary itself is returned, it would be represented as binary data within the output, allowing downstream nodes to save or deploy the installer directly.

Dependencies

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

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid credentials: Ensure that the API key and base URL are correctly set up in the node credentials.
  • Invalid IDs: Providing non-existent or incorrect Id or Location Id values will result in errors or empty responses.
  • Unsupported installer type: Selecting an installer type not supported by the backend may cause failures.
  • Network issues: Connectivity problems to the NinjaOne API endpoint will prevent successful retrieval.
  • Error messages: Typically indicate authentication failure, resource not found, or permission issues. Verify credentials and input parameters accordingly.
