Overview
This node integrates with the Hudu REST API to manage various resources, including IP addresses. Specifically, for the "IP Address" resource and the "Delete" operation, it deletes an IP address entry identified by its unique ID. This is useful in scenarios where you need to programmatically remove obsolete or incorrect IP address records from your Hudu system as part of automated workflows.
For example, you might use this node to clean up IP address entries when decommissioning devices or updating network configurations, ensuring your asset management stays accurate without manual intervention.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| IP Address ID | The numeric ID of the IP address to delete. This uniquely identifies which IP address record will be removed. |
Output
The node outputs a JSON array containing the result of the delete operation for each input item processed. Each output item corresponds to an input item and includes the response data returned by the Hudu API after attempting to delete the specified IP address.
If the deletion is successful, the output typically contains confirmation details or an empty object indicating success. If there is an error (e.g., invalid ID or permission issues), the output may contain error information if the node is configured to continue on failure.
No binary data is produced by this node.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Hudu REST API.
- Needs an API key credential configured in n8n to authenticate requests.
- The base URL for the Hudu API must be set in the node credentials.
- No other external dependencies are required.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Providing an invalid or non-existent IP Address ID will cause the API to return an error.
- Missing or incorrect API key or base URL configuration will prevent successful authentication.
- Network connectivity issues can cause request failures.
Error Messages:
"The resource "ipAddresses" is not known!"— This indicates the resource parameter was incorrectly set; ensure "ipAddresses" is selected.- API errors related to authorization or missing permissions will be returned from the Hudu API and surfaced by the node.
Resolutions:
- Verify the IP Address ID exists in your Hudu instance before attempting deletion.
- Check that the API key and base URL credentials are correctly configured and valid.
- Ensure the user associated with the API key has sufficient permissions to delete IP addresses.
- Enable "Continue On Fail" in the node settings to handle errors gracefully during batch operations.
