Overview
This node interacts with the Datto RMM API to retrieve audit information specifically for ESXi devices when using the "Audit" resource and the "Get ESXi Audit" operation. It is useful for IT administrators and managed service providers who want to monitor and review detailed audit logs related to their ESXi hosts managed within Datto RMM. For example, it can be used to fetch security or configuration audit data from ESXi devices to ensure compliance or troubleshoot issues.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Device | Select the specific device (ESXi host) to retrieve audit information for. Options are loaded dynamically from available devices. |
| Fields to Include | Choose which fields to include in the audit response. You can define specific fields or add all available fields. This allows customizing the detail level of the returned audit data. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing the audit information retrieved from the selected ESXi device. The structure of the JSON depends on the fields selected in the "Fields to Include" property but generally includes audit log entries relevant to the ESXi host's activities, configurations, or events.
No binary data output is indicated for this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Datto RMM API via a configured API key credential.
- The node uses the base URL and authentication credentials provided in the n8n credentials setup for Datto RMM.
- Dynamic loading of device options depends on successful API calls to list devices.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Failure to load devices in the "Device" dropdown may indicate connectivity issues or insufficient API permissions.
- If no audit data is returned, verify that the selected device has audit logs available and that the correct fields are selected.
Error Messages:
- Errors related to unsupported resources or operations will mention that the resource is not supported yet.
- API errors such as authentication failures or rate limits will surface as request errors; ensure API credentials are valid and have appropriate scopes.
Resolutions:
- Check API credentials and permissions.
- Confirm network connectivity to the Datto RMM API endpoint.
- Adjust field selections to ensure valid fields are requested.
