Overview
The node integrates with the LibreNMS network monitoring system, specifically allowing users to retrieve devices belonging to a specified device group. This operation is useful for network administrators who want to quickly list all devices within a particular group for monitoring, reporting, or management purposes.
For example, a user might want to get all devices in the "Data Center" group to check their status or perform batch updates. The node can return either just the device IDs or full device data depending on the user's choice.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Group Name | The name of the device group from which to retrieve devices. |
| Options | Additional options for the request: |
| Full Data | When enabled, returns complete device information instead of only device IDs. |
Output
The output JSON contains the list of devices retrieved from the specified device group. Depending on the "Full Data" option:
- If Full Data is false (default), the output includes only device IDs.
- If Full Data is true, the output includes detailed information about each device in the group.
No binary data output is involved in this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an API key credential to authenticate with the LibreNMS API.
- The node expects the LibreNMS instance URL and authentication token configured in the credentials.
- The base URL for API requests is derived from the provided LibreNMS URL, appending
/api/v0. - SSL certificate validation can be optionally disabled based on credential settings.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Group Name: If the specified device group does not exist, the node may return an error or empty results. Verify the exact group name spelling.
- Authentication Errors: Ensure the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions to access device groups.
- Network Issues: Connection failures may occur if the LibreNMS URL is incorrect or unreachable.
- Full Data Option Misuse: Setting "Full Data" to true may result in larger payloads and slower responses; use only when detailed device info is needed.
