Overview

The node integrates with the AvantGuard NinjaOne API to retrieve device usage data. Specifically, the "Get Device Usage" operation under the "Queries" resource fetches information about device usage records, which can be useful for monitoring and managing devices within an IT environment. This node is beneficial in scenarios where users want to analyze device activity, track usage patterns, or generate reports on device status.

For example, an IT administrator could use this node to pull paginated device usage data, optionally including deleted devices, to audit device activity over time or troubleshoot issues related to device performance.

Properties

Name Meaning
Additional Query Parameters Optional parameters to customize the query:
- Cursor: Cursor name for pagination.
- Page Size: Limit number of records per page.
- Include Deleted Devices: Whether to include deleted devices in the results (true/false).

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing device usage records retrieved from the API. The structure typically includes fields representing device details, usage metrics, timestamps, and pagination cursors if applicable. The output allows further processing or integration into workflows for reporting or alerting.

No binary data output is indicated for this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the AvantGuard NinjaOne API.
  • The node depends on the @avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-node package for OpenAPI-based request handling.
  • The base URL for the API must be configured in the node credentials.

Troubleshooting

  • Authentication errors: Ensure that a valid API key credential is provided and that the base URL is correctly set.
  • Pagination issues: If retrieving large datasets, verify that the cursor and page size parameters are used correctly to navigate through pages.
  • Empty or incomplete data: Check the "Include Deleted Devices" flag if expecting deleted device data; otherwise, some devices may not appear.
  • Network or API errors: Confirm network connectivity and API availability; transient errors may require retries.
