PortainerInstall

Overview

This node allows you to inspect a specific Edge Group within the Portainer platform by providing its unique identifier. It is useful for retrieving detailed information about an Edge Group, such as its configuration and status, which can help in managing and monitoring edge devices effectively. For example, you might use this node to fetch details of an Edge Group before performing updates or audits.

Properties

Output

The node outputs JSON data containing detailed information about the specified Edge Group. This typically includes properties such as the group's name, ID, associated endpoints, and other configuration details relevant to the Edge Group's state and setup.

Dependencies
