Overview

This node interacts with the Aruba ClearPass API to retrieve information about an endpoint based on its MAC address within the Identities domain. It is useful for network administrators who need to query endpoint details by MAC address for monitoring, management, or troubleshooting purposes.

Use Case Examples

1. Retrieve endpoint details by providing the MAC address to identify a device on the network.
2. Use in workflows to automate endpoint data retrieval for security or inventory management.

Properties

Output

JSON

• id - Unique identifier of the endpoint.
• macAddress - MAC address of the endpoint.
• name - Name of the endpoint device.
• status - Current status of the endpoint.
• ipAddress - IP address assigned to the endpoint.
• lastSeen - Timestamp of the last time the endpoint was seen on the network.

Dependencies

• Aruba ClearPass API
• An API key credential for authentication

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the MAC address is correctly formatted and valid.
• Verify that the API credentials are correctly configured and have sufficient permissions.
• Check network connectivity to the Aruba ClearPass server.
• Common error messages include authentication failures, resource not found for the given MAC address, and network timeouts. Resolving these involves verifying credentials, MAC address correctness, and network status.
