Overview

This node interacts with the Unimus API to retrieve differences (diffs) between backups of network devices. It supports two API versions (v2 and v3) and allows users to specify original and revised backup IDs to compare. The node is useful for network administrators who want to track configuration changes between device backups, helping in auditing and troubleshooting. For example, it can be used to detect changes in device configurations over time or verify updates applied to network devices.

Use Case Examples

1. Compare two backups of a network device to see configuration changes.
2. Retrieve a list of devices with different backups to identify discrepancies.
3. Simplify the output data for easier analysis or reporting.

Properties

Output

JSON

• success - Indicates if the API request was successful when no data is returned.
• ``
  • `` - The output contains the diff data between the specified backups, which may be an array or an object depending on the API version and request.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for Unimus API authentication.

Troubleshooting

• Common errors include unsupported operations or resources for the selected API version, which throw descriptive errors indicating the unsupported action.
• SSL certificate validation errors can occur if the server uses self-signed or invalid certificates; enabling 'Ignore SSL Issues' can bypass this.
• Empty responses from the API are handled by returning a success flag to avoid errors in downstream processing.
