Overview

This node operation updates the storage space notification threshold for a specific server within a project. It allows users to set a new limit (in bytes) at which the system will notify about storage usage on that server. This is useful in scenarios where administrators want to monitor and manage disk space proactively, avoiding unexpected storage shortages by receiving alerts when usage approaches a critical level.

Practical examples include:

  • Automatically adjusting notification thresholds after server upgrades or changes in storage capacity.
  • Setting customized alert levels per server based on their role or importance.
  • Integrating with monitoring workflows to trigger further actions when storage limits are reached.

Properties

Name Meaning
Server Id ID of the Server to update the storage space notification threshold for.
Notification Threshold In Bytes The new storage space notification threshold value in bytes. This defines when alerts should be triggered.

Output

The node outputs JSON data reflecting the result of the update operation. Typically, this includes confirmation of the updated threshold setting for the specified server. The exact structure depends on the API response but generally contains fields such as server identifier and the new threshold value.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential to authenticate requests against the mittwald mStudio API.
  • The node uses the base URL https://api.mittwald.de for API calls.
  • Proper configuration of the API authentication credential in n8n is necessary for successful execution.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:
    • Invalid or missing Server Id: Ensure the Server Id provided exists and is correctly formatted.
    • Insufficient permissions: The API key used must have rights to modify server settings.
    • Network or connectivity problems: Verify that n8n can reach the mittwald API endpoint.
  • Error messages:
    • Authentication errors typically indicate invalid or expired API credentials; reconfigure the API key.
    • Validation errors may occur if the notification threshold is not a valid number or out of acceptable range; verify input values.
    • Server not found errors suggest the Server Id does not exist or is inaccessible; double-check the ID.
