Overview
The node "Tactical RMM Alerts" allows interaction with the Tactical RMM API specifically for managing alerts and alert templates. It supports various operations such as creating, retrieving, updating, deleting alerts and templates, as well as fetching related templates.
For the Get Template by ID operation, the node fetches a specific alert template from the Tactical RMM system using its unique template ID. This is useful when you want to retrieve detailed information about a particular alert template to use or modify it in your automation workflows.
Practical examples:
- Automatically retrieve an alert template's details before sending notifications based on that template.
- Use the template data to clone or update alert templates programmatically.
- Integrate with other systems that require alert template metadata.
Properties
| Name | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Template ID | The ID of the alert template to retrieve |
This property is required to specify which alert template the node should fetch.
Output
The node outputs a JSON array containing the response from the Tactical RMM API for the requested alert template. The structure of the JSON depends on the API's response but typically includes fields describing the alert template such as its ID, name, description, conditions, and other configuration details.
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
Common issues:
- Invalid or missing Template ID will cause the API request to fail.
- Incorrect or expired API key will result in authentication errors.
- Network connectivity problems can prevent reaching the Tactical RMM API endpoint.
Error messages:
- Authentication errors usually indicate invalid API credentials; verify and update the API key.
- "Not Found" errors suggest the specified Template ID does not exist; confirm the ID is correct.
- Timeout or network errors may require checking internet connection or API server status.
