Overview
This node interacts with the Hudu REST API to manage various resources, including rack storage items. Specifically, for the "Rack Storage Item" resource and the "Delete" operation, it deletes a specified rack storage item by its ID. This is useful in scenarios where you need to programmatically remove obsolete or incorrect rack storage entries from your asset management system.
Practical examples include:
- Automatically cleaning up rack storage items that are no longer in use.
- Integrating with asset lifecycle workflows to delete rack storage items when assets are decommissioned.
- Managing inventory by removing misplaced or duplicate rack storage items.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| ID | The unique numeric identifier of the rack storage item to delete. This property is required. |
Output
The output is a JSON array containing the response from the API after attempting to delete the rack storage item. Each item in the output corresponds to an input item processed by the node. If the deletion is successful, the output typically contains confirmation details or an empty object indicating success. In case of failure, the output may contain error information.
No binary data is output by this node.
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.
- Network connectivity to the Hudu API endpoint is necessary.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Providing an invalid or non-existent rack storage item ID will result in an error from the API.
- Missing or incorrect API authentication credentials will cause authorization failures.
- Network issues or incorrect base URL configuration can prevent the node from reaching the API.
Error messages:
- Errors returned by the API (e.g., "Item not found") indicate that the specified ID does not exist.
- Authentication errors suggest checking the API key and base URL settings.
- Timeout or network errors require verifying internet connectivity and firewall settings.
Resolution tips:
- Verify the rack storage item ID before running the node.
- Ensure the API key credential is correctly set up and has sufficient permissions.
- Confirm the base URL matches your Hudu instance's API endpoint.
- Use the node's "Continue On Fail" option to handle errors gracefully in workflows.
