Overview
This node interacts with the Aruba Central Next Gen API to retrieve detailed information about a specific WAN tunnel on a gateway device. It is designed for network administrators and engineers who need to monitor or troubleshoot WAN tunnels in their network infrastructure managed by Aruba Central.
Typical use cases include:
- Fetching real-time or historical data about a particular WAN tunnel's status and performance.
- Integrating WAN tunnel details into automated monitoring dashboards or alerting systems.
- Diagnosing connectivity issues by examining tunnel-specific metrics.
For example, a user can specify a gateway by its serial number and site ID, then request detailed information about a named WAN tunnel to understand its current state or recent activity.
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 | Gateway serial number identifying the specific gateway device to query. |
| Site ID | Site identifier used to filter gateway details; required by the API. |
| Tunnel Name | The name of the WAN tunnel for which to retrieve detailed information. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data containing detailed information about the specified WAN tunnel on the gateway. This typically includes tunnel status, configuration parameters, performance metrics, and health indicators relevant to the WAN tunnel.
If binary data were involved (e.g., logs or diagnostic files), it would be summarized accordingly, but this node focuses on JSON structured data representing WAN tunnel details.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to Aruba Central Next Gen API.
- Needs an API authentication token or API key credential configured in n8n to authorize requests.
- Proper permissions on the Aruba Central account to access gateway and WAN tunnel monitoring data.
- Network connectivity from n8n to Aruba Central endpoints.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Incorrect or missing serial number, site ID, or tunnel name will result in no data or errors.
- Insufficient API permissions may cause authorization failures.
- Network connectivity problems between n8n and Aruba Central API endpoints.
- Enabling Debug Mode helps capture detailed logs for diagnosing issues.
Error Messages:
- "Unknown error in node execution": Generic catch-all error; check input parameters and API credentials.
- Authorization errors: Verify that the API key or token is valid and has necessary scopes.
- Resource not found errors: Confirm that the serial number, site ID, and tunnel name are correct and exist in Aruba Central.
