Overview
This node interacts with Aruba Central Next Gen API to retrieve detailed radio performance metrics for a specific access point. It is designed to fetch monitoring data such as radio utilization, signal quality, and other performance indicators over a specified time range.
Typical use cases include:
- Network administrators monitoring the health and performance of wireless access points.
- Troubleshooting wireless issues by analyzing radio performance trends.
- Generating reports on radio usage and efficiency for capacity planning.
For example, you can specify an access point by its serial number and a particular radio number within that device, then request performance data between two timestamps to analyze how the radio performed during that period.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Debug Mode | Whether to enable detailed debug logs for troubleshooting (true/false). |
| Domain | API domain to interact with: - Monitoring: Monitor devices, clients, and sites - Configuration: Configure devices, groups, and profiles |
| Serial Number | Access point serial number (string, required). |
| Time Range | Optional collection specifying: - Start Time: Start time for data retrieval (ISO 8601 format) - End Time: End time for data retrieval (ISO 8601 format) |
| Radio Number | Radio number within the access point (number from 0 to 5). |
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing the radio performance metrics retrieved from the Aruba Central API. The structure typically includes details such as:
- Radio utilization statistics
- Signal quality indicators
- Error rates or retransmission counts
- Other relevant performance parameters for the specified radio
If binary data were involved (e.g., logs or reports), it would be summarized accordingly, but this node focuses on JSON-formatted performance data.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to Aruba Central Next Gen API.
- Needs an API authentication token configured in n8n credentials (an OAuth2 or similar API key credential).
- Proper permissions on the Aruba Central account to access monitoring data for access points.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Invalid or missing serial number: Ensure the serial number corresponds exactly to an existing access point.
- Incorrect time range format: Use ISO 8601 format for start and end times.
- Insufficient API permissions: Verify that the API token has rights to access monitoring data.
- Network connectivity problems: Confirm that n8n can reach Aruba Central endpoints.
Error Messages:
- "Unknown error in node execution": Generic catch-all; check debug logs if enabled.
- Authentication errors: Check API credentials and refresh tokens if expired.
- Data not found or empty response: Verify the serial number and radio number are correct and that data exists for the specified time range.
Enabling Debug Mode helps provide detailed logs to diagnose issues.
