Hudu

Overview

This node interacts with the "Network" resource of the Hudu REST API, specifically supporting the deletion of a network by its ID. It is useful in scenarios where you need to programmatically remove network entries from your Hudu documentation or asset management system. For example, if a network is decommissioned or no longer relevant, this node can automate its removal as part of a workflow.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the delete operation for each input item processed. Each output item corresponds to an input item and includes the response from the API after attempting to delete the specified network. This typically contains confirmation of deletion or error details if the operation failed.

The node does not output binary data.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Hudu REST API.
• The base URL for the Hudu API must be configured in the node credentials.
• No other external dependencies are required.

Troubleshooting

• Common issues:

  • Providing an invalid or non-existent Network ID will likely cause the API to return an error.
  • Missing or incorrect API authentication credentials will prevent successful communication with the Hudu API.
  • Network connectivity issues may cause request failures.

• Error messages:

  • "The resource \"networks\" is not known!" — indicates an internal misconfiguration or unsupported resource; unlikely if using the node as intended.
  • API errors returned from Hudu (e.g., 404 Not Found if the network ID does not exist) will be surfaced in the node output.

• Resolution tips:

  • Verify that the Network ID is correct and exists in your Hudu instance.
  • Ensure the API key and base URL credentials are correctly set up.
  • Use the node's "Continue On Fail" option to handle errors gracefully within workflows.
