Switch → Top N Switches
AI-generatedOverview
This node interacts with the Aruba Central API to retrieve the top N switches based on monitoring data. It is useful for network administrators who want to quickly identify the most significant switches in their network environment, filtered by group, label, or stack ID if needed. For example, it can be used to monitor switch performance or status over a specified time range.
Use Case Examples
- Retrieve the top 5 switches in the monitoring domain without any filter.
- Get the top 10 switches filtered by a specific group name within a custom time range.
