Overview
This node interacts with the Aruba Central Next Gen API to retrieve detailed information about access points (APs) within a network. Specifically, the "Get Access Point Details" operation fetches comprehensive data for a given AP identified by its serial number. This is useful in network monitoring and management scenarios where administrators need to inspect the status, configuration, or performance metrics of specific access points.
Practical examples include:
- Fetching real-time details of an AP to troubleshoot connectivity issues.
- Integrating AP status data into dashboards or alerting systems.
- Automating inventory audits by retrieving AP metadata programmatically.
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 |
| Serial Number | Access point serial number (unique identifier) for which to retrieve details. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing detailed information about the specified access point. The structure typically includes fields such as device status, hardware details, software versions, radio configurations, and other relevant metrics provided by the Aruba Central API.
If binary data were involved (e.g., firmware files or logs), it would be summarized accordingly; however, this operation focuses on JSON metadata output only.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to Aruba Central Next Gen API.
- Needs an API authentication token configured via n8n credentials (an API key credential).
- Network access to Aruba Central endpoints depending on the selected domain ("monitoring" or "configuration").
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Invalid or missing serial number: Ensure the serial number is correct and corresponds to an existing AP.
- Authentication failures: Verify that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
- Network connectivity problems: Confirm that n8n can reach Aruba Central API endpoints.
Error Messages:
"Unknown error in node execution": Generic catch-all error; check debug logs if enabled.- Authentication errors will typically indicate invalid credentials or expired tokens.
- API response errors may include messages about resource not found if the serial number does not exist.
Enabling "Debug Mode" helps capture detailed logs to diagnose issues.
