Overview

This node interacts with the Aruba Central API to retrieve error information for ports on a specified CX switch. It is useful for network administrators who want to monitor and troubleshoot port errors on Aruba CX switches within a given time range. For example, it can be used to fetch inbound or outbound port errors filtered by port number and time period, helping to identify network issues or performance bottlenecks.

Use Case Examples

1. Retrieve port error statistics for a specific CX switch over the last 3 hours.
2. Filter port errors by a specific port number and error direction (inbound or outbound).

Properties

Output

JSON

• port - Port identifier for which errors are reported.
• errorType - Type of error (inbound or outbound).
• errorCount - Count of errors detected on the port.
• timestamp - Timestamp of the error data.

Dependencies

• Aruba Central API with OAuth2 authentication

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the serial number of the CX switch is correct and the device is managed by Aruba Central.
• Verify that the OAuth2 credentials for Aruba Central API are valid and have necessary permissions.
• Check that the 'from' and 'to' timestamps are in correct format and logical order (from <= to).
• If filtering by port or error type, ensure the values are valid and exist on the switch.
• Common error messages may include authentication failures, invalid parameters, or network connectivity issues. Resolving these typically involves checking credentials, input parameters, and network access.
