Overview

This node, named "Ajax," is designed to interact with the Ajax API (version indicated in the code). It provides a flexible interface to perform various operations on multiple resources exposed by the Ajax system. Specifically, for the Monitoring resource and the Get Monitoring Request From Users operation, the node fetches monitoring requests submitted by users associated with a specified company.

Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:

  • Retrieving user-generated monitoring requests for analysis or processing.
  • Integrating Ajax monitoring data into workflows for alerting, reporting, or further automation.
  • Paginating through large sets of monitoring requests using offset and limit parameters.

Practical example:

  • A security operations team wants to automatically pull all recent monitoring requests from users within their company to feed into a dashboard or ticketing system.

Properties

Name Meaning
Company Id The unique identifier of the company whose monitoring requests you want to retrieve.
Additional Fields Optional parameters to control pagination:
- Offset Number of records to skip before starting to collect the result set (default 0).
- Limit Maximum number of monitoring requests to return (default 10).

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the monitoring requests retrieved from the Ajax API for the specified company. Each item in the output typically contains details about individual monitoring requests made by users, such as request metadata, timestamps, status, and related user information.

If the node supports binary data output (not explicitly shown in the provided code), it would represent any file attachments or media associated with monitoring requests. However, based on the static analysis, the primary output is structured JSON data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Ajax API.
  • Depends on the @digital-boss/n8n-designpatterns package for response-operation resolution and execution logic.
  • Uses internal backend modules for HTTP client communication and state management.
  • The node expects proper configuration of the Ajax API credentials within n8n.

Troubleshooting

  • Authentication errors: Ensure that the API key credential for the Ajax API is correctly configured and has sufficient permissions.
  • Invalid Company Id: Providing an incorrect or non-existent company ID will likely result in empty results or API errors.
  • Pagination issues: If too large a limit is set or offset exceeds available data, the node may return fewer results than expected.
  • Network or API downtime: Connectivity problems or Ajax API service interruptions can cause request failures; verify network access and API status.
  • Missing required parameters: The Company Id is mandatory; omitting it will cause the node to throw an error.
