Manage Binalyze AIR resources

Actions99

Overview

The node integrates with Binalyze AIR to manage various resources related to digital forensics and incident response. Specifically, the "Get Asset Tasks" operation under the Asset resource retrieves tasks associated with a particular endpoint asset. This is useful in scenarios where you want to monitor or audit ongoing or completed forensic tasks on specific devices within your environment.

Practical examples include:

  • Fetching all investigation or acquisition tasks assigned to a given asset.
  • Tracking task statuses for endpoint assets during an incident response workflow.
  • Automating reporting or alerting based on tasks linked to critical assets.

Properties

Name Meaning
Asset The target endpoint asset to retrieve tasks for. You can select the asset either from a searchable list of existing assets or specify its ID manually. The asset ID must contain only letters, numbers, hyphens, and underscores.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the tasks associated with the specified asset. Each item in the output typically contains details about individual tasks such as task identifiers, status, type, timestamps, and other metadata relevant to the forensic or investigative operations performed on the asset.

If the node supports binary data output (not explicitly shown here), it would represent files or evidence artifacts related to the tasks, but this operation primarily returns structured JSON task information.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Binalyze AIR platform.
  • The node depends on the Binalyze AIR API endpoints for assets and tasks.
  • Proper configuration of the API authentication credentials in n8n is necessary.
  • Network connectivity to the Binalyze AIR service is required.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Asset ID Error: If the asset ID does not match the allowed pattern (letters, numbers, hyphens, underscores), the node will reject it. Ensure the asset ID format is correct.
  • Authentication Failures: Errors related to API authentication usually indicate missing or invalid API credentials. Verify that the API key credential is correctly configured.
  • Resource Not Found: If the specified asset does not exist or has no tasks, the output may be empty or return an error. Confirm the asset exists in Binalyze AIR.
  • Network Issues: Timeouts or connection errors suggest network problems between n8n and Binalyze AIR. Check connectivity and firewall settings.
