Overview
This node interacts with the Aruba Central Next Gen API to retrieve device inventory information. Specifically, when using the "Device" resource with the "Get Device Inventory" operation, it fetches details about devices managed within Aruba Central. This is useful for network administrators who want to programmatically access up-to-date device data for monitoring, auditing, or integration with other systems.
Practical examples include:
- Automatically retrieving a list of all network devices to update an asset management database.
- Monitoring device status and configurations as part of a network health dashboard.
- Integrating device inventory data into IT service management workflows.
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 |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the device inventory retrieved from the Aruba Central API. The structure typically includes an array of device objects, each containing properties such as device identifiers, status, model, firmware version, and other relevant metadata.
If binary data were involved (e.g., device configuration files), it would be included in a separate binary output field, but this node focuses on JSON device inventory data.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Aruba Central Next Gen API.
- The node depends on the n8n environment having this credential configured.
- No additional external dependencies are indicated beyond the Aruba Central API access.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Authentication failures due to missing or invalid API credentials.
- Network connectivity problems preventing access to the Aruba Central API.
- Insufficient permissions on the API key to access device inventory data.
Error messages:
- Errors during execution will provide descriptive messages indicating the failure reason.
- Enabling "Debug Mode" can help by producing detailed logs that clarify where the process fails.
Resolution tips:
- Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up and has necessary permissions.
- Check network connectivity and firewall settings.
- Use the debug mode to get more insight into request and response details.
