Overview

This node interacts with the Aruba Central API to retrieve the count of clients based on specified filters within the Monitoring domain. It is useful for network administrators who want to monitor client counts on their network devices, such as Access Points (APs) or switches, filtered by various parameters like device type, serial number, band, and radio number.

Use Case Examples

  1. A network admin wants to get the total number of clients connected to a specific AP identified by its serial number and band.
  2. Filtering client counts by device type (AP or Switch) to analyze network usage patterns.

Properties

Name Meaning
Domain Specifies the domain of the Aruba Central API to use, e.g., Monitoring, Configuration, Firmware, etc.
Additional Fields Optional filters to refine the client count query, including cluster ID, stack ID, device type, serial number, band, and radio number.

  • count - The total number of clients matching the specified filters.

Dependencies

  • Aruba Central API with OAuth2 authentication

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the OAuth2 credentials for Aruba Central API are correctly configured and valid.
  • Verify that the domain is set to 'monitoring' when using the Get Client Count operation, as other domains may not support this operation.
  • Check that filter values such as serial number, band, and device type are valid and correctly formatted.
  • If the node throws an error, enabling 'continueOnFail' allows the workflow to proceed with error details in the output.
