Ikoula API Dedicated ServerInstall

Overview

This node interacts with the Ikoula Dedicated Server API to manage security scans on dedicated servers. Specifically, the "List Security Scans" operation retrieves a list of all security scans associated with a given server IP address. This is useful for monitoring and auditing security scan activities on your dedicated servers.

Practical scenarios include:

• Automatically fetching recent or historical security scan data for compliance reporting.
• Integrating security scan status checks into automated workflows to trigger alerts or remediation steps.
• Aggregating security scan results from multiple servers for centralized security management.

Properties

Output

The output contains a JSON object representing the list of security scans retrieved from the Ikoula API for the specified server IP. The structure depends on the API response but generally includes details such as scan IDs, dates, statuses, and other metadata related to each security scan.

If the response format is set to XML, the raw XML string is returned inside the data field of the JSON output.

Example output snippet (in JSON mode):

{
  "json": {
    "scans": [
      {
        "id": 123,
        "date": "2024-01-01 12:00:00",
        "status": "completed",
        ...
      },
      ...
    ]
  }
}

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

• Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the Ikoula Dedicated Server API.
• The node uses HTTPS requests to the Ikoula API endpoint (default: https://api.ikoula.com).
• The password is encrypted using RSA public key encryption before transmission.
• No additional external dependencies beyond standard n8n HTTP request helpers.

Troubleshooting

• No credentials provided!
  This error occurs if the required API authentication credentials are not configured. Ensure you have set up the necessary API key credential in n8n.

• Invalid Server IP or missing parameter
  The Server IP property is mandatory. Make sure it is correctly set and corresponds to a valid dedicated server managed by your Ikoula account.

• API response errors
  If the API returns an error (e.g., unauthorized, not found), verify that your credentials are correct and that the server IP exists and is accessible.

• Response format issues
  If you select XML format, ensure your downstream nodes can handle XML strings appropriately.
