Overview
The "Get Rack Storage Items" operation retrieves a list of rack storage items from an external system, allowing users to filter the results based on various criteria. This node is useful in scenarios where you need to query and analyze rack storage configurations, such as asset management, inventory tracking, or monitoring physical infrastructure components within data centers or equipment rooms.
Practical examples include:
- Fetching all rack storage items associated with a specific asset ID.
- Filtering rack storage items by their status or side (front/rear).
- Retrieving rack storage items created or updated within a certain date range for audit or reporting purposes.

Additional Query Parameters | Optional filters to refine the search for rack storage items. These include: • Rack Storage Role Id: Filter by a specific rack storage role identifier (number). • Asset Id: Filter by a specific asset identifier (number). • Start Unit: Filter by the starting unit number in the rack (number). • End Unit: Filter by the ending unit number in the rack (number). • Status: Filter by status code (number). • Side: Filter by rack side, either "Front" or "Rear" (string). • Created At: Filter items created at an exact time or within a range using ISO 8601 datetime strings. Format examples: - Exact: "2023-06-07T12:34:56Z" - Range: "2023-06-01T12:34:56Z,2023-06-07T12:34:56Z" - Open-ended ranges supported. • Updated At: Similar filtering as Created At but for last update timestamps. |
Output
The node outputs JSON data representing the retrieved rack storage items matching the specified filters. Each item in the output typically includes details such as identifiers, unit positions, status, side, timestamps, and other relevant metadata about the rack storage entries.
If binary data were involved (not indicated here), it would represent attachments or files related to rack storage items, but this operation focuses on JSON data retrieval only.
Dependencies
- Requires connection to an external API service that manages rack storage information.
- Needs an API authentication token or key configured in n8n credentials to authorize requests.
- The base URL for the API must be set in the node's credential configuration.
Troubleshooting
- No Data Returned: Check if the filter parameters are too restrictive or incorrect (e.g., invalid date formats or IDs). Try broadening filters or removing them to verify connectivity.
- Authentication Errors: Ensure the API key or token is valid and has sufficient permissions.
- Invalid Date Format: The
created_at
andupdated_at
fields require ISO 8601 format; incorrect formatting will cause errors. - API Connectivity Issues: Verify network access to the API endpoint and correct base URL configuration.
- Unexpected Response Structure: Confirm the API version matches what the node expects, as changes in the API may affect output parsing.
