Overview

This node interacts with the Aruba Central API to retrieve usage data for a specified Mobility Controller within the Monitoring domain. It is useful for network administrators who want to monitor the usage statistics of their Mobility Controllers by querying specific devices using their serial numbers and optionally filtering by port.

Use Case Examples

  1. A network admin wants to get usage data for a specific Mobility Controller identified by its serial number to analyze network traffic and performance.
  2. Filtering usage data by a specific port on the Mobility Controller to troubleshoot or monitor traffic on that port.

Properties

Name Meaning
Domain Specifies the domain of the Aruba Central API to use, here it is set to 'monitoring' for usage data retrieval.
Serial The serial number of the Mobility Controller to query for usage data.
Additional Fields Optional additional parameters for the query, such as filtering by a specific port on the Mobility Controller.

Output

JSON

  • usageData - The usage data retrieved from the Mobility Controller.
  • error - Error message if the operation fails and continueOnFail is enabled.

Dependencies

  • Aruba Central API with OAuth2 authentication

Troubleshooting

  • If the serial number is incorrect or the device is not found, the node may throw an error indicating the device could not be queried.
  • If the API credentials are invalid or expired, authentication errors will occur; ensure valid OAuth2 credentials are provided.
  • If filtering by port, ensure the port name is correctly formatted to avoid query errors.
  • Common error messages include network connectivity issues, invalid parameters, or API rate limits; check logs for detailed error messages and verify input parameters.
