Device → Set UDF Fields

AI-generated

Overview

This node operation allows users to set user-defined fields (UDFs) on a selected device within the Datto RMM platform. It is useful for customizing device metadata with specific information relevant to the user's management or monitoring needs. For example, a user might set custom tags or notes on devices to track additional attributes not covered by default fields.

Use Case Examples

  1. Setting UDF 1 to 'Location A' and UDF 2 to 'Critical' on a device to categorize and prioritize it within the monitoring system.
  2. Updating multiple UDF fields on a device to reflect changes in asset management or operational status.

Properties

Name Meaning
Device Select the target device from the list of available devices to update its UDF fields.
UDF Fields Specify one or more user-defined fields to set on the device, including the field name (UDF 1 to UDF 5) and the value to assign.

Output

JSON

  • success - Indicates whether the UDF fields were successfully set on the device.
  • deviceUid - The unique identifier of the device that was updated.
  • updatedFields - An object containing the names and values of the UDF fields that were set.

Dependencies

  • Datto RMM API with appropriate API key credentials

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the selected device UID is valid and accessible via the API.
  • Verify that the API credentials have permissions to update device fields.
  • Check that the UDF field names and values are correctly specified and conform to expected formats.
  • Common error messages may include authorization errors, invalid device ID, or malformed request payloads. Resolving these typically involves verifying credentials, device existence, and input data formats.
