Overview
This node interacts with Aruba Central Next Gen API to retrieve detailed radio transmission information for a specific access point's radio. It is designed to monitor wireless network hardware by fetching metrics related to radio transmissions, which can help in analyzing the performance and health of wireless access points.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:
- Network administrators monitoring wireless access points to ensure optimal radio performance.
- Troubleshooting wireless connectivity issues by examining radio transmission parameters.
- Collecting historical radio transmission data within a specified time range for reporting or analysis.
For example, a user might configure this node to fetch radio transmission info for a particular access point identified by its serial number and a specific radio number, optionally specifying a time range to analyze recent transmission trends.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Debug Mode | Whether to enable detailed debug logs for troubleshooting (true/false). |
| 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 identifying the device to query. |
| Radio Number | Radio number within the access point to specify which radio's transmission info to retrieve. |
| Time Range | Optional collection specifying start and end times (ISO 8601 format) for data retrieval. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing the radio transmission information for the specified access point and radio number. The structure typically includes metrics and details about radio transmissions such as signal strength, transmission rates, error counts, or other relevant radio performance indicators over the requested time range.
If binary data were involved (not indicated here), it would represent raw telemetry or logs, but this node focuses on structured JSON output.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to Aruba Central Next Gen API via an API authentication token configured in n8n credentials.
- The node depends on the
arubaCentralNextGenOAuth2Apicredential for authorization. - No additional external services are required beyond Aruba Central API access.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Invalid or missing serial number or radio number will cause the API call to fail.
- Incorrect time range formats or invalid date values may result in errors or empty responses.
- Network connectivity issues or expired API tokens can prevent successful data retrieval.
Error Messages:
- Errors from the API are caught and rethrown with descriptive messages.
- If debug mode is enabled, detailed logs will be available to help identify the failure point.
- Typical error resolution involves verifying input parameters, ensuring valid credentials, and checking network connectivity.
