Overview

This node interacts with the Aruba Central API to retrieve information about a specific Mobility Controller device by its serial number within the Monitoring domain. It is useful for network administrators who need to query detailed status or metrics of a Mobility Controller device in their Aruba network environment. For example, it can be used to fetch uplinks and tunnels count if the optional 'Stats_metric' field is enabled.

Use Case Examples

  1. Retrieve the serial number details of a Mobility Controller device to monitor its status.
  2. Get uplinks and tunnels count for a specific Mobility Controller by enabling the 'Stats_metric' option.

Properties

Name Meaning

Serial The serial number of the Mobility Controller device to be queried.
Additional Fields Optional additional parameters for the query, such as 'Stats_metric' to get uplinks and tunnels count.

Output

JSON

  • serial - The serial number of the Mobility Controller device queried.
  • stats_metric - Optional metrics about uplinks and tunnels count if requested.

Dependencies

  • Aruba Central API with OAuth2 authentication

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the serial number provided is correct and exists in the Aruba Central inventory.
  • Verify that the OAuth2 credentials for Aruba Central API are valid and have sufficient permissions.
