Overview
The node integrates with the Datto RMM API to manage various resources including filters. Specifically, for the Filter resource and the Delete Filter operation, it allows users to delete a custom filter by specifying its unique identifier. This is useful in scenarios where you want to programmatically remove obsolete or unwanted filters from your Datto RMM environment to keep your monitoring and alerting configurations clean and up-to-date.
Practical example:
- Automatically deleting filters that are no longer relevant after a certain period or event.
- Cleaning up filters as part of an automated workflow when decommissioning devices or sites.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Filter ID | The unique identifier of the filter to update or delete. This is required to specify which filter to delete. |
Output
The output of the Delete Filter operation typically contains JSON data confirming the deletion status of the specified filter. It may include fields such as success confirmation or details about the deleted filter. No binary data output is expected for this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Datto RMM API.
- The node depends on the Datto RMM API being accessible at the configured base URL.
- Proper permissions on the API key to perform filter deletions are necessary.
- No additional external services beyond the Datto RMM API are required.
Troubleshooting
- Common issues:
- Invalid or missing Filter ID: The operation requires a valid filter identifier; ensure the ID is correct and exists.
- Insufficient permissions: The API key used must have rights to delete filters.
- Network or API endpoint errors: Ensure the API URL is correctly configured and reachable.
- Error messages:
- "Resource filter is not supported yet": This would indicate a misconfiguration or outdated node version; ensure the node supports the filter resource.
- API errors related to authorization or invalid IDs will be returned from the Datto RMM API and should be checked accordingly.
- Resolution tips:
- Verify the Filter ID input.
- Check API credentials and permissions.
- Confirm network connectivity and API endpoint correctness.
