Overview

This node interacts with the Aruba Central API to retrieve events from the Monitoring domain. It is useful for network administrators who want to fetch event data related to network devices and clients for monitoring and troubleshooting purposes. For example, it can be used to get recent network events filtered by time range, device type, or event severity.

Use Case Examples

  1. Retrieve all monitoring events from the last 3 hours.
  2. Fetch up to 50 events filtered by device type and event level.

Properties

Name Meaning
Domain Specifies the domain of the Aruba Central API to use, defaulting to 'monitoring' for event retrieval.
Return All Determines whether to return all results or limit the number of results.
Limit Maximum number of event results to return when 'Return All' is false.
Additional Fields Optional filters and parameters to refine the event query, such as time range, group, device MAC, event type, sorting order, and more.

Output

JSON

  • number - Event number identifier.
  • level - Severity level of the event.
  • timestamp - Timestamp of when the event occurred.
  • event_description - Description of the event.

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' when fetching events, as other domains may not support this operation.
  • If no events are returned, verify the filter parameters such as timestamps and device identifiers to ensure they match existing data.
  • Common error messages may include authentication failures, invalid parameter values, or API rate limits. Verify credentials, parameter correctness, and API usage limits to resolve these.
