Connect Secure

Consume Connect Secure API

Actions222

Overview

This node interacts with the Connect Secure API to retrieve information about whether a specific asset requires a Windows reboot. It is useful in IT management and monitoring scenarios where administrators need to check the reboot status of assets remotely. For example, before deploying updates or performing maintenance, an admin can use this node to verify if a reboot is pending on a particular machine.

Properties

Name Meaning
X USER ID User Id (string) used as a header for authentication or identification purposes in the API request.
Id Numeric identifier of the asset whose reboot status is being queried.

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing the response from the Connect Secure API regarding the reboot requirement status of the specified asset. The exact structure depends on the API but typically includes fields indicating whether a reboot is required and possibly additional metadata about the asset or reboot conditions.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Connect Secure API.
  • The node depends on the external Connect Secure service being accessible.
  • Requires proper configuration of the API credentials within n8n.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid X USER ID: Ensure that the "X USER ID" property is correctly set; otherwise, the API may reject the request.
  • Invalid asset Id: Providing an incorrect or non-existent asset Id will likely result in an error or empty response.
  • API connectivity issues: Network problems or incorrect API credentials will cause failures; verify credentials and network access.
  • Unexpected API responses: If the API changes or returns unexpected data, the node might not parse it correctly.
