Overview

This node updates an existing Virtual Chassis record in the NetBox API under the DCIM domain. It is useful for managing and modifying virtual chassis configurations in a network infrastructure, such as changing the name, domain, master device, description, comments, tags, or custom fields of a virtual chassis.

Use Case Examples

1. Updating the name and description of a virtual chassis to reflect new organizational changes.
2. Changing the master device ID of a virtual chassis to designate a new master device.
3. Adding tags or comments to a virtual chassis for better categorization and documentation.

Properties

Output

JSON

• id - ID of the updated virtual chassis record
• name - Name of the updated virtual chassis
• domain - Domain of the updated virtual chassis
• master - ID of the master device in the updated virtual chassis
• description - Description of the updated virtual chassis
• comments - Comments about the updated virtual chassis
• tags - Tags associated with the updated virtual chassis
• custom_fields - Custom fields of the updated virtual chassis

Dependencies

• NetBox API
• An API key credential for authentication

Troubleshooting

• Ensure the Virtual Chassis ID is correct and exists in the NetBox instance to avoid 'not found' errors.
• Verify that the API key credential is valid and has sufficient permissions to update virtual chassis records.
• Check that the update fields are correctly formatted, especially custom fields which should be valid JSON.
• If the node throws an error, enabling 'Continue on Fail' will allow the workflow to proceed and output the error message for debugging.
