Overview

This node interacts with the NinjaOne API to retrieve software information installed on a specific device. It is useful for IT administrators or support teams who need to gather software inventory details for devices managed within NinjaOne. For example, it can be used to audit software installations, check for unauthorized software, or prepare for software updates on a device.

Use Case Examples

  1. Retrieve all software installed on a device by providing the device ID.
  2. Use the node to get software details for a device to verify compliance with software policies.

Properties

Name Meaning
Device ID The unique identifier of the device for which software information is requested. This is a required field.
Request Options Additional settings to customize the API request, including batching, SSL certificate validation, proxy settings, and request timeout.

Output

JSON

  • software - Array or list of software details retrieved from the specified device.

Dependencies

  • Requires NinjaOne API credentials (OAuth2) to authenticate requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the Device ID is correct and the device exists in NinjaOne; otherwise, the API may return an error or empty result.
  • If SSL certificate validation fails and the request is blocked, enable 'Ignore SSL Issues' to bypass this check (not recommended for production).
  • Check proxy settings if network requests fail due to connectivity issues.
  • Adjust timeout settings if the API response is slow or times out.
