Overview

This node interacts with the Aruba Central API to list switch stacks within the monitoring domain. It is useful for network administrators who want to retrieve information about switch stacks, including filtering by hostname or group, and controlling the number of results returned. Practical examples include monitoring network device stacks for status or inventory purposes.

Use Case Examples

1. Retrieve all switch stacks in the monitoring domain to get a comprehensive view of network device stacks.
2. Filter switch stacks by hostname to focus on specific devices for troubleshooting or monitoring.
3. Limit the number of switch stacks returned to manage data volume in dashboards or reports.

Properties

Output

JSON

• id - Unique identifier of the switch stack.
• name - Name of the switch stack.
• hostname - Hostname of the switch stack.
• group - Group name associated with the switch stack.
• status - Current status of the switch stack.

Dependencies

• Aruba Central API
• OAuth2 API key credential

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the OAuth2 API key credential is correctly configured and has the necessary permissions to access the monitoring domain.
• If the node returns an error, check the domain, resource, and operation parameters for correctness.
• When filtering by hostname or group, verify that the filter values exist in the Aruba Central environment to avoid empty results.
• If the 'Return All' option is false and the limit is set too low, you might not see all relevant switch stacks; adjust the limit accordingly.
