Overview
This node interacts with the Tactical RMM API to perform operations related to various resources such as agents, alerts, clients, and software. Specifically, for the "Agent" resource and the "Ping" operation, it sends a ping request to a specified agent by its ID. This is useful for checking the connectivity or responsiveness of an agent within the Tactical RMM system.
Practical examples include:
- Verifying if a remote agent machine is online and reachable.
- Monitoring agent availability before performing further management tasks.
- Troubleshooting network or agent issues by confirming agent responsiveness.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Agent ID | ID of the agent to ping |
The "Agent ID" property is required and specifies which agent the ping operation targets.
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the Tactical RMM API after attempting to ping the specified agent. The exact structure depends on the API's response but typically includes status information indicating success or failure of the ping.
If the node supports binary data output (not indicated here), it would represent any binary content returned by the API, but this operation primarily deals with JSON responses.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Tactical RMM API.
- Needs an API authentication token or key configured in n8n credentials to authorize requests.
- The node uses HTTP headers specifying JSON content type for communication.
Troubleshooting
Common Issues:
- Invalid or missing Agent ID will cause the operation to fail.
- Network connectivity problems between n8n and the Tactical RMM server can prevent successful pings.
- Incorrect or expired API credentials will result in authorization errors.
Error Messages:
- Authorization errors indicate invalid or missing API credentials; verify and update the API key.
- "Agent not found" or similar messages suggest the provided Agent ID does not exist; confirm the ID is correct.
- Timeout or network errors imply connectivity issues; check network settings and server availability.
