AvantGuard - HuduInstall

Overview

This node retrieves a specific Asset Password by its ID from the AvantGuard Hudu system. It is useful in scenarios where you need to programmatically access or reference a particular password stored within your asset management system, such as for automated credential retrieval, auditing, or integration with other workflows.

Example use cases:

• Fetching credentials for deployment scripts.
• Integrating with monitoring tools that require dynamic access to passwords.
• Automating password audits or compliance checks.

Properties

Output

The output will be a JSON object containing the details of the requested Asset Password. The exact structure depends on the API response, but typically includes fields such as the password's value, associated asset information, and metadata.

Example output:

{
  "id": 123,
  "password": "examplePassword",
  "assetId": 456,
  "description": "Database root password",
  "createdAt": "2024-06-01T12:00:00Z",
  "updatedAt": "2024-06-10T08:30:00Z"
}

Note: Actual fields may vary based on the Hudu API schema.

Dependencies

• API Credentials: Needs valid avantguardHuduApi credentials configured in n8n, including the base URL and authentication token.
• n8n Configuration: Ensure the credentials are set up under the name avantguardHuduApi.

Troubleshooting
