Overview

This node integrates with the AvantGuard NinjaOne platform to manage devices. Specifically, the "Submit OS Patch Apply" operation under the "Management" resource allows users to trigger the application of operating system patches on a specified device. This is useful in IT management scenarios where automated patch deployment and compliance are critical, such as ensuring all managed endpoints receive security updates promptly.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically applying OS patches to a device after detecting vulnerabilities.
  • Integrating patch management into broader automation workflows for endpoint maintenance.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id Device identifier (number). Specifies which device the OS patch apply request will be submitted for.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the NinjaOne API after submitting the OS patch apply request. This typically includes confirmation details about the patch submission status or any relevant metadata returned by the service.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the AvantGuard NinjaOne platform.
  • The node uses the base URL provided in the credentials to make REST API calls.
  • Depends on the @avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-node package and the included OpenAPI specification (openapi.json) for request construction.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Invalid or missing device ID may cause the API call to fail.
    • Authentication errors if the API key credential is incorrect or expired.
    • Network connectivity problems preventing access to the NinjaOne API endpoint.
  • Error messages:

    • Authorization failures: Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
    • Resource not found or invalid ID: Ensure the device ID exists and is correct.
    • Timeout or connection errors: Check network settings and NinjaOne service availability.
