Overview

This node interacts with the Unimus API to retrieve information about devices by their ID. It supports different API versions (v2 and v3) and allows users to specify additional parameters and options such as ignoring SSL issues and simplifying the output. This node is useful for network administrators or IT professionals who need to fetch detailed device data from Unimus for monitoring, auditing, or integration with other systems.

Use Case Examples

  1. Retrieve detailed information about a specific network device by its unique ID using Unimus API v2.
  2. Fetch device data with additional attributes or filters using Unimus API v2 or v3.
  3. Simplify the output data for easier processing in subsequent workflow steps.

Properties

Name Meaning
Ignore SSL Issues Whether to ignore SSL certificate validation errors and still download the response.
API Version Select the version of the Unimus API to use (v2 or v3).
ID The unique identifier of the device to retrieve.
Additional Parameters Optional additional parameters to include in the API request, such as specific attributes to fetch.
Simplify Output Whether to simplify the output data structure for easier consumption.

Output

JSON

  • id - The unique identifier of the device.
  • name - The name of the device.
  • address - The network address of the device.
  • attributes - Additional attributes or metadata related to the device, if requested.
  • success - Indicates a successful API response when no data is returned.

Dependencies

  • Unimus API (requires API key credential)

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the device ID provided is correct and exists in the Unimus system to avoid 'not found' errors.
  • If SSL issues occur, enable 'Ignore SSL Issues' to bypass certificate validation, but be aware of security risks.
  • Verify that the selected API version matches the Unimus server version to prevent unsupported operation errors.
  • Check additional parameters for correct formatting and valid attribute names to avoid API request errors.
