Datto RMM

Interact with Datto RMM API to manage devices, sites, alerts, and monitoring

Actions53

Overview

The node interacts with the Datto RMM API to manage and retrieve information related to various resources such as accounts, devices, sites, alerts, jobs, audits, systems, and filters. Specifically, for the Site resource with the Get Settings operation, it fetches configuration or settings details of a selected site within the Datto RMM environment.

This node is beneficial in scenarios where users need to automate monitoring or management tasks by programmatically accessing site-specific settings. For example, an MSP (Managed Service Provider) could use this node to regularly pull site configurations to audit compliance or trigger workflows based on site settings.

Properties

Name Meaning
Site Select the specific site from the list of available sites to retrieve settings for.
Fields to Return Choose which fields of the site settings to include in the response. Allows customizing output.
  • The Site property uses a dynamic dropdown populated with all available sites fetched via the API.
  • The Fields to Return property lets users map and select specific fields they want returned, enabling tailored data retrieval.

Output

  • The node outputs JSON data containing the requested site settings fields as specified by the user.
  • The structure of the JSON corresponds to the selected fields from the "Fields to Return" property.
  • No binary data output is indicated for this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the Datto RMM API using an API key credential configured in n8n.
  • The node depends on the Datto RMM API endpoint /api/v2/site/{siteUid}/settings (implied by the resource and operation context).
  • Network access to the Datto RMM service URL must be configured correctly in the node credentials.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Invalid or expired API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Selecting a site that no longer exists or has been deleted will result in errors.
    • Requesting fields not available in the site's settings may return incomplete data or errors.

  • Error Messages:

    • Authentication errors typically indicate issues with the API key; verify and update credentials.
    • "Resource not supported" error occurs if an unsupported resource or operation is selected.
    • Network timeouts or connectivity errors suggest checking firewall or proxy settings.
