Configuration
2 fields, 2 required. A dotted path is a nested object and name[] an array of objects — the editor renders the same tree.
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Constraints | Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
filename The file's name on its own; NetScaler refuses a name that carries a path. | string | Yes | — | — | wildcard-acme-2026.crt |
filelocation The directory on the appliance the file lives in, such as /nsconfig/ssl. | string | Yes | — | — | /nsconfig/ssl |
Example configuration
Every value below is the contract’s own example or default — nothing invented.
{
"filelocation": "/nsconfig/ssl",
"filename": "wildcard-acme-2026.crt"
}Output
One shape.
result
| Field | Type | Example |
|---|---|---|
deleted True once the appliance removed the file. | boolean | — |
filename The file that was removed. | string | — |
filelocation The directory it was removed from. | string | — |
{
"deleted": false,
"filelocation": "",
"filename": ""
}Notes
- Deleting a file a certificate pair still points at leaves that pair broken on the next reboot.
See Delete File run in a workflow.
In a technical demo we add the NetScaler ADC connection, drop the node on the canvas and let Workflow Health pre-flight it before the first real run.
