Overview

This node interacts with the AvantGuard ConnectSecure API to retrieve information about open ports on a specified asset. It is useful in scenarios where you need to audit or monitor network security by identifying which ports are accessible on an asset, helping in vulnerability assessments or compliance checks.

For example, a security analyst could use this node to fetch all open ports on a server asset to verify that only authorized services are exposed.

Properties

Name Meaning
X USER ID The user identifier required for authentication or tracking purposes in the API request.
Additional Query Parameters Optional parameters to refine the query:
- 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 list of open ports retrieved from the asset. Each item typically includes details such as port number, protocol, status, and possibly associated service information.

If binary data were involved (not indicated here), it would represent raw files or attachments related to the asset's open ports, but this node focuses on JSON data output.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the AvantGuard ConnectSecure API.
  • Needs the base URL of the AvantGuard ConnectSecure API configured in the node credentials.
  • Depends on the @avantguardllc/n8n-openapi-node package for building requests based on the OpenAPI specification.

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid X USER ID: The API requires a valid user ID header; ensure this property is set correctly.
  • API authentication errors: Verify that the API key credential is properly configured and has necessary permissions.
  • Query parameter issues: Incorrectly formatted conditions or invalid values for skip/limit/order_by may cause API errors; validate these inputs.
  • Network or connectivity problems: Ensure the base URL is reachable and no firewall blocks the connection.
