Queries → Get Installed OS Patches

Overview

This node interacts with the NinjaOne API to retrieve information about installed operating system patches on devices. It allows users to query installed OS patches with various filters such as device, patch status, installation date ranges, and pagination controls. This is useful for IT administrators or security teams who want to monitor patch compliance, identify failed patch installations, or generate reports on patch deployment status across their managed devices.

Practical examples include:

  • Fetching all patches installed before a certain date to audit historical patching.
  • Filtering patches by status (e.g., only failed patches) to troubleshoot update issues.
  • Paginating through large sets of patch data using cursor and page size parameters.

Properties

Name Meaning
Df Device filter: specify a device identifier or name to limit patches to that device
Status Patch status filter: choose between FAILED or INSTALLED to filter patches by status
Installed Before Include patches installed before the specified date (date string expected)
Installed After Include patches installed after the specified date (date string expected)
Cursor Cursor name for pagination to continue from a previous result set
Page Size Limit number of records returned per page (number)

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the NinjaOne API for the installed OS patches query. The structure typically includes details about each patch such as patch identifiers, installation dates, status, and associated device information.

If binary data were involved (not in this operation), it would be included separately, but this operation deals solely with JSON data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the NinjaOne API via an OAuth2 API credential.
  • The node uses the NinjaOne API endpoints under /v2/queries/... (implied by routing).
  • Proper API authentication credentials must be configured in n8n for the node to function.

Troubleshooting

  • Common issues:

    • Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Incorrect date formats for "Installed Before" or "Installed After" may lead to API errors or empty results.
    • Using an invalid cursor or page size might result in pagination errors or unexpected responses.
    • If no patches match the filters, the output will be empty; verify filter values.
  • Error messages:

    • Authentication errors: Ensure the OAuth2 API key is valid and has required permissions.
    • Validation errors from the API: Check that date strings are correctly formatted (ISO 8601 recommended).
    • Network or timeout errors: Verify network connectivity and NinjaOne API availability.
