Overview

This node operation retrieves default filters from the Datto RMM API. It allows users to specify a filter category to organize and group the filters, such as Monitoring, Maintenance, Reporting, Automation, or Custom categories. Users can choose to retrieve all filters automatically with pagination or manually specify the page number and maximum results per page. Additionally, users can select which fields to include in the response to tailor the output to their needs. This operation is useful for managing and applying predefined filters in monitoring, maintenance, reporting, automation workflows, or custom user-defined categories within Datto RMM.

Use Case Examples

  1. Retrieve all default filters in the Monitoring category to apply them in alert monitoring workflows.
  2. Fetch a specific page of default filters in the Reporting category to analyze available reporting filters.
  3. Select specific fields to include in the response when retrieving default filters for automation workflows.
