Aruba Central Next Gen

Consume Aruba Central Next Gen API

Actions82

Overview

This node interacts with the Aruba Central Next Gen API to perform various operations related to network management. Specifically, for the Gateway resource and the List Gateway Cluster Tunnels operation, it retrieves a list of tunnels within a specified gateway cluster. This is useful for network administrators who want to monitor or audit the tunnel connections in their gateway clusters.

Practical examples include:

  • Monitoring active tunnels in a gateway cluster to ensure connectivity.
  • Auditing tunnel configurations for troubleshooting or compliance.
  • Integrating tunnel data into dashboards or reports for network health visualization.

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, sites), "Configuration" (configure devices, groups, profiles).
Cluster Name The name of the gateway cluster whose tunnels you want to list.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the list of gateway cluster tunnels retrieved from the Aruba Central Next Gen API. Each item in the output corresponds to a tunnel with its associated details such as status, endpoints, and other relevant metadata.

If the node supports binary data output, it would typically represent files or raw data related to the tunnels, but based on the provided code and context, the output is primarily JSON structured data about the tunnels.

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 in the source code.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Incorrect or missing cluster name will result in no data or errors.
    • Invalid or expired API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Selecting the wrong domain may lead to unsupported operations or empty results.
  • Error messages:

    • Errors during execution are caught and logged with a message like "Unknown error in node execution" or more specific messages if available.
    • To resolve errors, verify that the cluster name is correct, the API credentials are valid, and the selected domain matches the intended operation.
