NinjaOneInstall

Overview

The "Get Activities" operation for the Device resource in this node allows users to retrieve activity logs or events related to a specific device managed within the NinjaOne platform. This is useful for monitoring device behavior, troubleshooting issues, auditing changes, or tracking user interactions with the device.

Typical use cases include:

• Fetching recent activities on a device to understand what actions have been performed.
• Auditing device usage or changes for compliance and security purposes.
• Integrating device activity data into dashboards or reports for IT management.

For example, an IT administrator could use this node to automatically pull device activity logs daily and analyze them for unusual patterns or errors.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the activities associated with the specified device. The structure typically includes details such as timestamps, activity types, descriptions, and possibly user information related to each activity event.

If the node supports binary data output (not explicitly shown here), it would represent files or attachments related to device activities, but this operation primarily returns structured JSON activity logs.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the NinjaOne API.
• Needs the base URL of the NinjaOne API, which defaults to https://api.ninjaone.com if not overridden by credentials.
• The node depends on the NinjaOne API being accessible and the authenticated user having permissions to read device activities.

Troubleshooting

• Invalid Device ID: If the provided Device ID does not exist or is incorrect, the API may return an error or empty results. Verify the Device ID is correct.
• Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures. Ensure the API key credential is properly configured.
• API Rate Limits: Frequent requests might hit rate limits imposed by NinjaOne. Implement retry logic or reduce request frequency if encountering rate limit errors.
• Empty Results: If no activities are returned, confirm that the device has recorded activities and that the account has access rights.
