Overview

This node integrates with the AvantGuard NinjaOne platform to submit a software patch application request for a specific device. It is useful in IT management scenarios where automated patch management and deployment are required. For example, an IT administrator can use this node to trigger the installation of a software patch on a managed device remotely, ensuring devices stay up-to-date and secure.

Properties

Name Meaning
Id Device identifier (number). Specifies the target device on which the software patch should be applied. This property is required.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the NinjaOne API after submitting the software patch apply request. The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes status information about the patch submission. The node does not output binary data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the AvantGuard NinjaOne platform.
  • The base URL for the API must be configured in the node credentials.
  • Depends on the @avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-node package and the included OpenAPI specification (openapi.json) for request building.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:
    • Invalid or missing device identifier (Id property) will cause the request to fail.
    • Incorrect or expired API credentials will result in authentication errors.
    • Network connectivity problems may prevent communication with the NinjaOne API.
  • Error messages:
    • Authentication failures usually indicate invalid API keys; verify and update credentials.
    • Validation errors often point to missing or incorrect input properties; ensure the Id is provided and valid.
    • API rate limits or server errors may require retrying the operation later.
