Overview

This node is designed to retrieve iptables rules associated with an asset from the AvantGuard ConnectSecure API. It is useful in scenarios where users need to programmatically access firewall or network filtering rules configured on specific assets within their infrastructure. For example, a network administrator could use this node to fetch and audit iptables rules for compliance or troubleshooting purposes.

Properties

Name Meaning
X USER ID The user identifier required for authentication or authorization when making the request.
Additional Query Parameters Optional parameters to refine the query results:
- Condition: Filter condition string.
- Skip: Number of records to skip.
- Limit: Maximum number of records to return.
- Order By: Field(s) to order the results by.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the retrieved iptables rules for the specified asset. The structure typically includes details about each rule such as source, destination, ports, protocols, and actions. There is no indication that binary data is returned by this node.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for AvantGuard ConnectSecure to authenticate requests.
  • Needs the base URL of the AvantGuard ConnectSecure API configured in the node credentials.
  • Depends on the @avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-node package and the bundled OpenAPI specification (openapi.json) for request building and execution.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid X USER ID: The node requires a valid user ID header; ensure it is provided and correct.
  • API authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is correctly set up and has necessary permissions.
  • Query parameter issues: Incorrect values in additional query parameters (e.g., non-numeric skip/limit) may cause request failures.
  • Network or connectivity problems: Ensure the base URL is reachable and the network allows outbound connections to the API endpoint.
  • Empty or unexpected responses: Check if the asset exists and has iptables rules configured; also verify query filters are not overly restrictive.
