Overview

This node interacts with the Ikoula VPS API to manage various aspects of virtual private servers (VPS). Specifically, the "Stop Security Scan" operation under the "VPS Security Scan" resource allows users to stop a running security scan on a specified VPS server. This is useful when a security scan needs to be halted before completion, for example, if it was started by mistake or if immediate system resources are required elsewhere.

Practical examples:

  • Stopping an ongoing vulnerability scan on a VPS to free up system resources.
  • Canceling a scheduled or running security audit due to changes in scanning requirements.
  • Managing security scans programmatically as part of automated VPS maintenance workflows.

Properties

Name Meaning
Subscription ID The VPS subscription ID (number). Required for most VPS operations except some DNS and security scan actions.
Server IP The IP address of the VPS server where the security scan is running.
Scan ID The unique identifier of the security scan to stop.
Response Format The format of the API response returned by the node. Options: JSON, XML.

Output

The node outputs the API response from the Ikoula VPS service in the selected format (JSON or XML). The main output is available in the json field of each item and contains the result of the stop scan request. If the response is JSON, it will be parsed into an object; if XML, it will be returned as a string.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires valid credentials for the Ikoula VPS API, including an email, password, and optionally a custom API URL.
  • The password is encrypted using RSA public key encryption before being sent.
  • The node makes HTTP requests to the Ikoula API endpoints.
  • The user must configure the node with appropriate API credentials (an API key credential) in n8n.

Troubleshooting

  • No credentials provided!: This error occurs if the node is executed without proper API credentials configured. Ensure that the Ikoula VPS API credentials are set up correctly in n8n.
  • Invalid Scan ID or Server IP: If the scan ID or server IP is incorrect or does not correspond to an active scan, the API may return an error or no action will be taken. Verify these inputs carefully.
  • API connectivity issues: Network problems or incorrect API URLs can cause request failures. Confirm network access and correct API endpoint configuration.
  • Response format errors: Selecting XML format returns raw XML strings which might require additional parsing downstream.
