Switch → Switch Ports Errors

AI-generated

Overview

This node interacts with the Aruba Central API to retrieve error information for switch ports within a specified time range. It is useful for network administrators who want to monitor and troubleshoot switch port errors by filtering data based on switch serial number, port, and error direction (in or out). For example, it can be used to get error statistics for a specific switch to identify problematic ports or time periods.

Use Case Examples

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

Properties

Name Meaning
Domain Specifies the domain of the Aruba Central API to use, defaulting to 'monitoring' for network device monitoring.
Serial Serial number of the switch to get port errors for, required for the operation.
From Start time for data retrieval, defaults to current time minus 3 hours if not specified.
To End time for data retrieval, defaults to current time if not specified.
Additional Fields Optional filters for the query, including port number and error direction (in or out).

Output

JSON

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

Dependencies

  • Aruba Central API with OAuth2 authentication

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the switch serial number 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 time range specified is valid and not in the future.
  • If filtering by port or error type, ensure the values are valid and exist for the switch.
