Overview
The "Tactical RMM Agents" node integrates with the Tactical RMM API to manage and interact with agents in a remote monitoring and management environment. Specifically, the Post Agent Check operation triggers a new check on a specified agent, which can be useful for immediately assessing the agent's status or health after configuration changes or troubleshooting.
Common scenarios where this node is beneficial include:
- Automating health checks on remote devices after deployment.
- Triggering immediate diagnostics on an agent following an alert.
- Integrating agent status verification into broader IT workflows.
For example, after updating software on an agent, you might use this node to post a check that verifies the update was successful and the agent remains healthy.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Agent ID | The unique identifier of the agent on which to perform the check. |
Output
The node outputs a JSON array containing the response from the Tactical RMM API related to the posted agent check. This typically includes details about the initiated check such as its status, timestamps, or any relevant metadata returned by the API.
No binary data output is produced by this operation.
Dependencies
- Requires an active connection to the Tactical RMM API.
- Needs an API key credential configured in n8n to authenticate requests.
- The base URL for the Tactical RMM API must be correctly set in the credentials.
Troubleshooting
- Invalid Agent ID: If the provided Agent ID does not exist or is incorrect, the API will likely return an error. Verify the Agent ID before running the node.
- Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API keys will cause authentication failures. Ensure the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions.
- Network Issues: Connectivity problems to the Tactical RMM server will result in request failures. Check network access and API endpoint availability.
- API Rate Limits: Excessive requests may trigger rate limiting; consider adding delays or retries if encountering such errors.
Error messages thrown by the node will generally reflect HTTP errors from the API and are wrapped as node-specific API errors for clarity.
