AvantGuard - HuduInstall

Overview

This node allows you to archive a specific Asset belonging to a Company in the AvantGuard Hudu system. It is designed for scenarios where you need to programmatically mark an asset as archived, such as automating asset lifecycle management or integrating with other business processes that require assets to be deactivated or hidden from active use.

Example Use Cases:

• Automatically archiving assets when a company offboards.
• Integrating with ticketing systems to archive assets after incident resolution.
• Bulk archiving of assets based on compliance or audit requirements.

Properties

Output

The output will contain a json field reflecting the response from the Hudu API after attempting to archive the specified asset. The structure typically includes information about the asset and its new archived status. The exact fields depend on the API's response but may include asset details such as id, name, status, and timestamps.

Dependencies

• External Service: Requires access to the AvantGuard Hudu API.
• API Credentials: You must configure n8n credentials named avantguardHuduApi, including at least the baseUrl for your Hudu instance.
• n8n Configuration: Ensure the node has network access to the Hudu API endpoint.

Troubleshooting

• Missing or Invalid Credentials:
  Error: "401 Unauthorized" or similar authentication errors.
  Resolution: Check that the avantguardHuduApi credentials are correctly set up in n8n and have the necessary permissions.

• Invalid Asset or Company ID:
  Error: "404 Not Found" or "Asset not found".
  Resolution: Verify that both the Asset Id and Company Id are correct and exist in the Hudu system.

• Insufficient Permissions:
  Error: "403 Forbidden".
  Resolution: Ensure the API user associated with your credentials has permission to archive assets.

• Network Issues:
  Error: "ENOTFOUND", "ECONNREFUSED", or timeouts.
  Resolution: Confirm that n8n can reach the Hudu API endpoint and there are no firewall or DNS issues.
