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, including sites. Specifically, for the Site resource and the Get Variables operation, it fetches variables associated with a selected site. This is useful in scenarios where you want to programmatically access configuration or environment variables defined for a particular site within Datto RMM.

Practical examples include:

  • Automating monitoring or alerting workflows based on site-specific variables.
  • Integrating site variable data into reporting or dashboards.
  • Using site variables as inputs for further automation steps in an n8n workflow.

Properties

Name Meaning
Site Select the specific site from the list of available sites to retrieve variables for.
Retrieve All Whether to automatically retrieve all results using pagination (true), or manually specify page and max results (false).
Page When not retrieving all, specifies the page number for paginated results.
Max Results When not retrieving all, specifies the maximum number of results to return per page.
Fields to Return Select which fields to include in the response, allowing filtering of returned data to only needed fields.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the variables associated with the selected site. The structure typically includes an array of variable objects, each representing a variable's key-value pair and possibly additional metadata depending on the API response.

If binary data were involved (not indicated here), it would be summarized accordingly, but this operation deals with JSON data only.

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.
  • Pagination support requires handling multiple API calls if "Retrieve All" is enabled.
  • No other external services are required beyond the Datto RMM API.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Invalid or missing API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Selecting a site that does not exist or has no variables may result in empty responses.
    • Pagination parameters misconfiguration (e.g., page number out of range) can lead to errors or empty results.

  • Error Messages:

    • Authentication errors typically indicate invalid API keys; verify credentials.
    • API rate limits might cause request failures; consider adding delays or reducing request frequency.
    • Network or connectivity issues will prevent API calls; check network settings and API availability.
