Interact with Zorus API

Actions13

Overview

The node named "Zorus" provides integration with the Zorus API, allowing users to interact with various resources such as Customers, Deployment Tokens, Endpoints, Groups, Policies, and Unblock Requests. Specifically, for the Endpoint resource, it supports operations including restarting a service on a specified endpoint.

A common use case for the "Restart Service" operation is when an administrator needs to remotely restart a service running on a particular endpoint identified by its UUID. This can be useful in scenarios where the service becomes unresponsive or requires a refresh due to configuration changes or updates.

For example, a security team might automate restarting endpoint services after deploying new policies or patches to ensure that all endpoints are running the latest configurations without manual intervention.

Properties

Name Meaning
Endpoint UUID The unique identifier (UUID) of the endpoint on which the service will be restarted.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the Zorus API after attempting to restart the service on the specified endpoint. This typically includes status information about the restart request, success confirmation, or error details if the operation failed.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Zorus API.
  • The base URL for API requests is https://developer.zorustech.com/api.
  • The node expects the API version header "Zorus-Api-Version": "1.0" to be set.
  • Proper network access to the Zorus API endpoint is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Invalid or missing Endpoint UUID: The operation requires a valid UUID; providing an incorrect or empty value will cause errors.
    • Authentication failures: Ensure the API key credential is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
    • Network connectivity problems: Verify that the n8n instance can reach the Zorus API endpoint.

  • Error Messages:

    • Errors related to authorization usually indicate issues with the API key or permissions.
    • Endpoint not found errors suggest the provided UUID does not correspond to any known endpoint.
    • Timeout or connection errors imply network issues or API downtime.

Resolving these typically involves verifying input parameters, checking credentials, and ensuring stable network connectivity.
