Actions409

Overview

This node operation updates the description of a specific server within a project using the mittwald mStudio API. It is useful when you want to modify or clarify the textual description associated with a server, for example, to provide more context or update details after changes in the server's role or configuration.

Practical examples include:

  • Updating the description of a development server to reflect new software installed.
  • Changing the description of a production server to indicate maintenance windows or status.
  • Correcting or enhancing server metadata for better project documentation.

Properties

Name Meaning
Server Id The unique identifier of the server whose description you want to update.
Description The new textual description to assign to the specified server.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the response from the mittwald mStudio API after updating the server description. This typically includes confirmation of the update and possibly the updated server object or status message.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authenticating with the mittwald mStudio API.
  • The node uses the base URL https://api.mittwald.de for all requests.
  • Proper network access to the mittwald API endpoint is necessary.

Troubleshooting

  • Invalid Server Id: If the provided Server Id does not exist or is incorrect, the API will likely return an error indicating the server was not found. Verify the Server Id before retrying.
  • Authentication Errors: Missing or invalid API credentials will cause authentication failures. Ensure the API key credential is correctly configured.
  • Network Issues: Connectivity problems can prevent the node from reaching the API. Check your network settings and firewall rules.
  • API Rate Limits: Excessive requests may be throttled by the API. Implement retries with backoff if needed.
