AvantGuard - NinjaOne

Overview

This node integrates with the AvantGuard NinjaOne API to retrieve usage data related to an organization's location. Specifically, the "Get Organization Location Usage" operation fetches detailed usage statistics or metrics for a given organization identified by its unique ID. This can be useful for IT administrators or managers who want to monitor resource consumption, track software or hardware usage, or analyze operational metrics tied to specific organizational locations.

Practical examples include:

• Monitoring software license usage across different office locations.
• Tracking hardware utilization or asset deployment in various branches.
• Generating reports on organizational resource consumption for budgeting or auditing purposes.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the usage information for the specified organization's location. The exact structure depends on the API response but typically includes metrics or statistics relevant to the organization's resource usage at that location.

If the API provides binary data (e.g., reports or files), it would be included in the binary output field; however, based on the provided code and operation, the primary output is JSON-formatted usage data.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the AvantGuard NinjaOne service.
• The node uses the base URL configured in the credentials to make HTTP requests.
• Depends on the @avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-node package and the OpenAPI specification defined in openapi.json for request building and execution.

Troubleshooting

• Missing or invalid Id: Since the "Id" property is required, ensure it is provided and correctly formatted. An empty or incorrect ID will likely cause the API call to fail.
• Authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up and has sufficient permissions.
• Network or connectivity issues: Ensure that the n8n instance can reach the configured base URL.
• Unexpected API responses: If the API changes or returns errors, check the API documentation or contact support.

Common error messages might include authentication failures, 404 not found if the organization ID does not exist, or 400 bad request if parameters are malformed.
