Overview
This node interacts with the Aruba Central Next Gen API to retrieve monitoring data about Access Points (APs), specifically focusing on memory utilization for a given AP. It is useful in network management scenarios where administrators need to monitor the health and performance of wireless infrastructure by tracking memory usage trends of access points over time.
Practical examples include:
- Monitoring memory consumption of specific APs to detect potential issues or resource bottlenecks.
- Collecting historical memory utilization data within a specified time range for capacity planning or troubleshooting.
- Integrating AP memory metrics into broader network monitoring dashboards or alerting systems.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Debug Mode | Whether to enable detailed debug logs for troubleshooting. |
| Domain | API domain to interact with. Options: "Monitoring" (monitor devices, clients, and sites), "Configuration" (configure devices, groups, and profiles). For this operation, "Monitoring" is used. |
| Serial Number | Access point serial number (string). Identifies the specific AP whose memory utilization data will be retrieved. |
| Time Range | Optional collection specifying the start and end times (ISO 8601 format) for data retrieval. Allows filtering memory utilization data within a specific period. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing the memory utilization details of the specified access point. The structure typically includes time-series data points representing memory usage metrics over the requested time range.
If binary data were involved (not indicated here), it would represent raw or processed data files related to the AP memory stats, but this node focuses on JSON output only.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to Aruba Central Next Gen API via an API key credential configured in n8n.
- The node depends on proper OAuth2 authentication setup to access the API.
- Network connectivity to Aruba Central services is necessary.
- No additional external libraries beyond those bundled with the node are required.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Invalid or missing serial number: Ensure the AP serial number is correct and exists in Aruba Central.
- Authentication errors: Verify that the API credentials are valid and have sufficient permissions.
- Time range errors: Confirm that start and end times are in ISO 8601 format and that the start time precedes the end time.
- Network connectivity problems: Check internet access and firewall settings allowing communication with Aruba Central.
Error Messages:
"Unknown error in node execution": Generic catch-all; check debug logs if enabled.- Authentication failures usually indicate invalid or expired credentials.
- API rate limits or service unavailability may cause request failures; retry after some time.
Enabling Debug Mode can provide detailed logs to help diagnose issues.
