Overview
The "Get Jobs" operation for the "Device" resource in this node allows users to retrieve job-related information associated with a specific device managed through the NinjaOne API. This operation is useful for IT administrators or support teams who want to monitor, audit, or analyze jobs (such as maintenance tasks, software deployments, or automated scripts) executed on a particular device.
Practical examples include:
- Fetching recent jobs run on a device to verify successful patch deployments.
- Auditing scheduled tasks or maintenance jobs executed on endpoints.
- Integrating job status data into broader IT workflows or dashboards.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Device ID | The unique identifier of the device for which to retrieve jobs. This is a required string input. |
Output
The output of this operation will be JSON data containing details about the jobs related to the specified device. Each item in the output typically represents a job record with properties such as job ID, status, timestamps, and other metadata relevant to the job execution.
If the node supports binary data output for this operation, it would generally represent any file attachments or logs related to the jobs, but based on the provided code and context, the output is primarily JSON structured data.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the NinjaOne API.
- Requires an API authentication token credential configured in n8n to authorize requests.
- The base URL for the API can be customized via credentials; otherwise, it defaults to
https://api.ninjaone.com.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing Device ID: Ensure the Device ID is correctly specified and exists in the NinjaOne system.
- Authentication errors: Verify that the API key or OAuth2 token is valid and has sufficient permissions.
- Network or connectivity problems: Confirm that the n8n instance can reach the NinjaOne API endpoint.
Error messages:
- Unauthorized or 401 errors indicate invalid or expired credentials.
- 404 errors may mean the device ID does not exist or the user lacks access rights.
- Rate limiting or 429 errors suggest too many requests in a short period; implement retries or backoff.
