Queries → Get Pending Failed Rejected OS Patches

AI-generated

Overview

This node interacts with the NinjaOne API to retrieve data about pending, failed, or rejected operating system patches on devices. Specifically, the "Get Pending Failed Rejected OS Patches" operation under the "Queries" resource allows users to query patch statuses filtered by various criteria such as device filters, timestamps, patch status, type, severity, and pagination controls.

This node is beneficial in IT management and security monitoring scenarios where administrators need to track the state of OS patches across their managed devices. For example, it can be used to generate reports on devices that have critical patches pending or failed, enabling timely remediation actions.

Properties

Name Meaning
Df Device filter: Filter results based on specific device identifiers or groups.
Ts Monitoring timestamp filter: Filter patches based on a specific monitoring timestamp.
Status Patch Status filter: Filter patches by their status (e.g., pending, failed, rejected).
Type Patch Type filter: Filter patches by their type/category.
Severity Patch Severity filter: Filter patches by severity level (e.g., critical, important).
Cursor Cursor name: Used for pagination to continue fetching results from a specific point.
Page Size Limit number of records per page: Controls how many patch records are returned per request.

Output

The node outputs an array of JSON objects representing the queried OS patches matching the specified filters. Each item in the output contains detailed information about individual patches, including their status, type, severity, associated devices, and timestamps.

If the API supports binary data for this operation (not indicated here), the node would handle it accordingly, but based on the static analysis, the output is purely JSON data.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the NinjaOne API.
  • Needs an API authentication token configured via OAuth2 credentials within n8n.
  • The node uses HTTP GET requests to fetch data from NinjaOne endpoints.
  • No additional external dependencies beyond the NinjaOne API and n8n's OAuth2 credential setup.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures.
    • Incorrect filter values may result in empty responses or errors.
    • Pagination parameters (cursor, page size) must be correctly managed to avoid incomplete data retrieval.
  • Error Messages:

    • Errors from the NinjaOne API will be returned in the json.error field if "Continue On Fail" is enabled.
    • Typical errors include authentication errors, invalid parameter errors, or rate limiting.
  • Resolutions:

    • Verify that the OAuth2 credentials are correctly set up and authorized.
    • Double-check filter values for correctness and supported formats.
    • Use pagination parameters properly to navigate through large datasets.
