Overview

This node interacts with the Aruba Central API to retrieve information about Mobility Controllers within the Monitoring domain. It is useful for network administrators who want to monitor and manage Mobility Controllers, including filtering by status, MAC address, model, and other parameters. The node supports returning all results or limiting the number of results, and allows sorting and selecting specific fields to be returned.

Use Case Examples

  1. A network admin wants to get a list of all Mobility Controllers currently active in the network.
  2. Filtering Mobility Controllers by model to check firmware versions for a specific device type.
  3. Retrieving a limited number of Mobility Controllers with specific fields like status, IP address, and AP count for a dashboard display.

Properties

Name Meaning
Domain Specifies the domain of the Aruba Central API to interact with, defaulting to 'monitoring' for Mobility Controller operations.
Return All Determines whether to return all Mobility Controller results or limit the number of results returned.
Limit Maximum number of Mobility Controller results to return when 'Return All' is false.
Additional Fields Optional filters and parameters to refine the Mobility Controller query, including status, MAC address, model, fields to return, whether to calculate total count, and sorting order.

Output

JSON

  • status - Status of the Mobility Controller
  • ip_address - IP address of the Mobility Controller
  • model - Model of the Mobility Controller
  • firmware_version - Firmware version running on the Mobility Controller
  • labels - Labels associated with the Mobility Controller
  • ap_count - Number of access points managed by the Mobility Controller
  • usage - Usage statistics of the Mobility Controller

Dependencies

  • Aruba Central API
  • OAuth2 API key credential

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues include authentication failures due to invalid or expired OAuth2 credentials. Ensure the API key credential is valid and has necessary permissions.
  • Incorrect domain or resource selection may lead to no data returned or errors. Verify the domain is set to 'monitoring' for this operation.
  • Filtering parameters like status, MAC address, or model must be correctly formatted; otherwise, the API may return errors or empty results.
  • If 'Return All' is false and limit is set too low, not all relevant Mobility Controllers will be retrieved. Adjust the limit or enable 'Return All' as needed.
