Overview

This node is designed to restart a session in a system that manages sessions. It is useful in scenarios where a session needs to be refreshed or reset, such as recovering from errors, applying new configurations, or restarting a workflow associated with a session. For example, if a session becomes unresponsive or encounters an error, this node can be used to programmatically restart it to restore normal operation.

Use Case Examples

  1. Restarting a user session in a web application to apply new settings.
  2. Resetting a session in an automation workflow to recover from an error state.

Properties

Name Meaning
Session The name of the session to be restarted. This is a required string input that identifies which session the operation will target.
Request Options Optional settings to control the HTTP request behavior, including batching, SSL certificate validation, proxy usage, and timeout settings.

Output

JSON

  • session - The name of the session that was restarted.
  • status - The status or result of the restart operation, indicating success or failure.
  • message - Additional information or error messages related to the restart operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential or authentication token to access the session management system's API.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues include providing an invalid or non-existent session name, which results in errors indicating the session could not be found.
  • Timeout errors may occur if the server does not respond within the specified timeout period; increasing the timeout or checking network connectivity can help.
  • SSL certificate validation errors can be bypassed by enabling the 'Ignore SSL Issues' option, but this should be used with caution due to security risks.
