Overview

This node interacts with the AvantGuard ConnectSecure API to retrieve firewall rules. It is designed to fetch and return firewall rule data based on user-specified criteria, which can be useful for network administrators or security engineers who want to programmatically access and analyze firewall configurations.

Common scenarios include:

  • Auditing firewall rules for compliance.
  • Automating retrieval of firewall rules for reporting or monitoring.
  • Integrating firewall rule data into broader security workflows or dashboards.

For example, a user might configure this node to retrieve all firewall rules that match a certain condition or limit the number of returned rules for performance reasons.

Properties

Name Meaning
X USER ID User Id required for authentication or identification in the request header.
Additional Query Parameters Optional parameters to refine the query:
- Condition: Filter condition for rules.
- 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 firewall rules. Each item in the output corresponds to a firewall rule matching the query parameters. The structure typically includes details such as rule identifiers, conditions, actions, and metadata related to each firewall rule.

No binary data output is indicated.

Dependencies

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

Troubleshooting

  • Missing or invalid X USER ID: The node requires a valid user ID in the 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: Invalid values for condition, skip, limit, or order_by may cause errors or unexpected results; validate these inputs.
  • Network or connectivity problems: Ensure the base URL is reachable and the network allows outbound connections to the API endpoint.
