Overview

This node operation updates the storage space notification threshold for a specific server within a project. It allows users to replace the current threshold value that triggers notifications when the server's storage usage reaches a certain byte limit. This is useful in scenarios where administrators want to customize alert levels for storage consumption on different servers to better manage resources and avoid unexpected outages or capacity issues.

Practical examples include:

  • Setting a lower notification threshold for critical servers to receive early warnings.
  • Adjusting thresholds dynamically based on server workload changes.
  • Centralizing storage alert management across multiple servers in a project.

Properties

Name Meaning
Server Id ID of the Server to update the storage space notification threshold for.
Notification Threshold In Bytes The new storage space notification threshold value in bytes. When the server's used storage exceeds this value, a notification will be triggered.

Output

The node outputs JSON data representing the result of the update operation. This typically includes confirmation details such as the updated server ID and the new notification threshold value. The exact structure depends on the API response but generally confirms that the threshold was successfully replaced.

No binary data output is involved in this operation.

Dependencies

  • Requires an API key credential for authentication with the mittwald mStudio API.
  • The node communicates with the mittwald API endpoint at https://api.mittwald.de.
  • Proper configuration of the API credentials in n8n is necessary for successful requests.

Troubleshooting

  • Common Issues:

    • Invalid or missing Server Id: Ensure the Server Id provided exists and is correctly formatted.
    • Insufficient permissions: The API key must have rights to modify server settings.
    • Network or API errors: Check connectivity and API status.
  • Error Messages:

    • Authentication errors indicate invalid or expired API credentials; reconfigure the API key.
    • Validation errors may occur if the notification threshold is set to an invalid number (e.g., negative values).
    • Not found errors suggest the specified Server Id does not exist.

Resolving these usually involves verifying input parameters, checking API credentials, and ensuring the server exists in the project.
