Swarm → Get Topn

AI-generated

Overview

This node interacts with the Aruba Central API to retrieve the top N swarm data within the monitoring domain. It is useful for network administrators who want to analyze the most significant swarm events or devices based on peak or average metrics. For example, it can be used to get the top 5 or top 100 swarm counts sorted by average or peak values to monitor network performance or issues.

Use Case Examples

  1. Retrieve the top 5 swarm counts sorted by average values in the monitoring domain.
  2. Get the top 100 swarm counts sorted by peak values for detailed network analysis.

Properties

Name Meaning
Domain Specifies the domain of the Aruba Central API to interact with, here it is set to 'monitoring' for swarm data.
Count Specifies the number of top swarm counts to retrieve. Default is 5, maximum is 100.
Sort Specifies the sorting criteria for the top swarm counts, either by peak values ('by_peak') or average values ('by_avg'). Default is 'by_avg'.

Output

JSON

  • topnData - Array of top N swarm data items retrieved from the Aruba Central API, including metrics sorted by the specified criteria.

Dependencies

  • Aruba Central API with OAuth2 authentication

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the OAuth2 credentials for Aruba Central API are correctly configured and valid.
  • Verify that the 'count' parameter is within the allowed range (1 to 100).
  • Check that the 'sort' parameter is either 'by_peak' or 'by_avg' to avoid invalid sorting errors.
  • If the node fails, enable 'continueOnFail' to allow workflow continuation and capture error messages for debugging.
