AI-generated

Overview

This node operation retrieves the throughput trend data for a specific port on an Aruba Central access point. It is useful for monitoring network performance and bandwidth usage on individual access point ports over a specified time range. For example, network administrators can use this to analyze traffic patterns and detect potential bottlenecks or issues on a particular port of an access point.

Use Case Examples

  1. Monitoring bandwidth usage on a specific port of an access point to optimize network performance.
  2. Analyzing historical throughput trends to identify periods of high network traffic or potential issues.

Properties

Name Meaning
Debug Mode Whether to enable detailed debug logs for troubleshooting.
Domain API domain to interact with, such as monitoring or configuration.
Serial Number Access point serial number to identify the specific device.
Port Index Port index of the access point to specify which port's throughput trend to retrieve.
Time Range Optional start and end times for data retrieval in ISO 8601 format to specify the period for the throughput trend data.

Output

JSON

  • throughputTrend - Array or object containing the throughput trend data for the specified access point port over the selected time range.

Dependencies

  • An API key credential for Aruba Central Next Gen API authentication

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the serial number and port index are correctly specified; incorrect values may result in no data or errors.
  • Verify that the time range, if provided, is in valid ISO 8601 format and that the start time is before the end time.
  • Enable Debug Mode to get detailed logs for troubleshooting issues with API requests or data retrieval.
  • Common error messages may include authentication failures, invalid parameters, or network connectivity issues. Check credentials and network access to Aruba Central API.
