Overview

This node operation, Retrieve Asset Registry Misconfiguration, is designed to query and retrieve information about misconfigurations in an asset registry system. It allows users to specify filtering conditions, pagination controls, and sorting preferences to tailor the data retrieval according to their needs.

Typical use cases include:

  • Auditing asset registries for configuration errors or inconsistencies.
  • Extracting subsets of asset misconfiguration records based on specific criteria.
  • Integrating asset misconfiguration data into workflows for monitoring or alerting purposes.

For example, a user might want to fetch all misconfiguration records where a certain condition applies (e.g., assets registered under a deprecated category), skip the first 10 records, limit the output to 50 entries, and order them by date.

Properties

Name Meaning
X USER ID User identifier required for authentication or tracking purposes in the API request header.
Condition Query condition string to filter the asset misconfiguration records returned.
Skip Number of records to skip from the start of the result set (used for pagination).
Limit Maximum number of records to return (used for pagination).
Order By Field name(s) to sort the results by (e.g., "date", "severity").

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the retrieved asset registry misconfiguration records. Each item in the output corresponds to a single misconfiguration entry matching the query parameters.

If the API supports binary data related to these records, it would be included accordingly; however, based on the provided code and properties, the output primarily consists of structured JSON data detailing the misconfiguration information.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Connect Secure API.
  • The node depends on the external Connect Secure API service to fetch asset misconfiguration data.
  • Proper configuration of the API credentials within n8n is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid X USER ID: Since the X USER ID header is mandatory, omitting it or providing an incorrect value will likely cause authentication failures or rejected requests.
  • Invalid query conditions: Malformed or unsupported query strings in the Condition property may result in empty responses or API errors.
  • Pagination issues: Setting Skip or Limit to inappropriate values (e.g., negative numbers) could lead to unexpected results or errors.
  • API connectivity problems: Network issues or incorrect API credentials can cause request failures; verify credentials and network access.
  • Order By field errors: Specifying fields that do not exist or are not sortable may cause the API to reject the request or ignore the ordering.
