Overview
This node integrates with the Hudu REST API to perform various operations on different resources within Hudu. Specifically, for the Rack Storage resource with the Get operation, it retrieves detailed information about a particular rack storage entity identified by its ID. This is useful in scenarios where you need to fetch and use rack storage details in your workflows, such as inventory management, asset tracking, or infrastructure documentation.
For example, you might use this node to:
- Retrieve the configuration or status of a specific rack storage unit before performing maintenance.
- Pull rack storage data to update an external system or dashboard.
- Automate reporting by gathering rack storage details regularly.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Rack Storage ID | The unique numeric identifier of the rack storage to retrieve. This is a required field. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the rack storage entity corresponding to the provided ID. The structure typically includes all relevant fields describing the rack storage, such as its name, location, capacity, and any custom attributes defined in Hudu.
If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would represent associated files or attachments related to the rack storage, but this is not evident from the provided code.
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 indicated.
Troubleshooting
Common issues:
- Providing an invalid or non-existent Rack Storage ID will likely result in an error or empty response.
- Missing or incorrect API credentials will cause authentication failures.
- Network connectivity problems can prevent successful API calls.
Error messages:
"The resource \"rack_storages\" is not known!"— This indicates an unsupported resource was specified; ensure "rack_storages" is correctly selected.- API errors returned from Hudu (e.g., 404 Not Found if the ID does not exist) will be surfaced as node execution errors.
Resolutions:
- Verify the Rack Storage ID exists in your Hudu instance.
- Confirm API credentials and base URL are correctly configured.
- Check network access and firewall settings.
