Overview

This node interacts with the Aruba Central API to retrieve information about Access Points (APs) within the monitoring domain. It is useful for network administrators who want to fetch detailed data about APs, including filtering by various criteria such as group, site, status, model, and more. The node supports pagination and can return all results or a limited number based on user input.

Use Case Examples

  1. A network admin wants to get a list of all APs in a specific site to monitor their status and performance.
  2. Fetching AP details filtered by model and status to troubleshoot network issues.
  3. Retrieving APs with additional client count and SSID count calculations for network usage analysis.

Properties

Name Meaning
Domain Specifies the domain of the Aruba Central API to use, defaulting to 'monitoring' for Access Point operations.
Return All Whether to return all results or only up to a given limit, applicable when domain is 'monitoring' and operation is 'getAps'.
Limit Maximum number of results to return when 'Return All' is false, with a minimum value of 1.
Additional Fields Optional filters and parameters to refine the APs retrieval, including group, swarm ID, label, site, status, serial, MAC address, model, cluster ID, fields to return, calculation flags, sorting, offset, and API pagination limit.

Output

JSON

  • aps - Array of Access Point objects with details as per requested fields and filters.

Dependencies

  • Aruba Central API with OAuth2 authentication

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the OAuth2 credentials for Aruba Central API are correctly configured and valid.
  • Check that the domain parameter is set to 'monitoring' for the Get Aps operation, as other domains may not support this operation.
  • If no APs are returned, verify the filter parameters in Additional Fields to ensure they match existing AP data.
  • Pagination parameters like limit, offset, and api_limit should be within allowed ranges to avoid API errors.
  • If the node throws an error, check network connectivity and API rate limits imposed by Aruba Central.
