Queries → Get Pending Failed Rejected Software Patches

AI-generated

Overview

This node interacts with the NinjaOne API to retrieve data related to software patches that are pending, failed, or rejected. Specifically, for the "Queries" resource and the "Get Pending Failed Rejected Software Patches" operation, it fetches filtered lists of software patches based on various criteria such as device filters, patch status, type, impact, and pagination controls.

This node is beneficial in IT management and security automation workflows where monitoring and managing software patch statuses across devices is critical. For example, an IT administrator can use this node to automatically gather all failed or rejected patches to trigger alerts or remediation processes.

Properties

Name Meaning
Df Device filter: Filter patches by specific device identifiers or criteria.
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).
Product Identifier Product Identifier: Filter patches by product identifier.
Type Patch Type filter: Filter patches by the type of patch.
Impact Patch Impact filter: Filter patches by the impact level of the patch.
Cursor Cursor name: Used for pagination to specify the cursor position in the result set.
Page Size Limit number of records per page: Controls how many patch records are returned per page.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the NinjaOne API for the requested query. The structure of the JSON output corresponds to the list of software patches matching the applied filters, including details about each patch's status, type, impact, associated devices, and other metadata.

No binary data output is produced by this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an active connection to the NinjaOne API using OAuth2 authentication.
  • The node depends on the NinjaOne API endpoint /v2/queries/pending-failed-rejected-software-patches (implied by the operation context).
  • Proper configuration of the NinjaOne OAuth2 API credentials within n8n is necessary.

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, pageSize) must be used correctly to navigate large datasets.
  • Error Messages:

    • Errors returned from the NinjaOne API will be included in the node output if "Continue On Fail" is enabled.
    • Typical errors include authorization errors, invalid parameter errors, or network issues.
  • Resolution Tips:

    • Verify that the OAuth2 credentials are correctly configured and valid.
    • Double-check filter values for correctness and supported formats.
    • Use pagination parameters carefully to avoid missing data or infinite loops.
