Overview
The node integrates with the AvantGuard NinjaOne platform, specifically providing management capabilities. The "Submit OS Patch Scan" operation allows users to trigger an operating system patch scan on a specified device by its identifier. This is useful in IT management scenarios where administrators want to ensure devices are up-to-date with the latest OS patches for security and compliance purposes.
Practical examples include:
- Automatically initiating patch scans on devices after deployment.
- Scheduling patch scans as part of routine maintenance workflows.
- Integrating patch status checks into broader IT asset management processes.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Id | Device identifier (number). Specifies which device the OS patch scan should be submitted for. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the NinjaOne API after submitting the OS patch scan request. This typically includes confirmation details such as scan initiation 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 base URL for the API is configured via credentials.
- Depends on the
@avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-nodepackage and the included OpenAPI specification (openapi.json) for request construction.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing device identifier (
Idproperty) will prevent the scan submission. - Authentication failures due to incorrect or expired API credentials.
- Network connectivity problems to the NinjaOne API endpoint.
- Invalid or missing device identifier (
Error messages:
- Authorization errors indicate issues with the provided API key; verify and update credentials.
- Validation errors may occur if the device ID does not exist or is malformed; ensure the correct numeric ID is used.
- Timeout or connection errors suggest network issues; check connectivity and API availability.
