Hi, I am trying to run a large file stored in my VM using n8n ssh node, the node is not outputting any results even after waiting for log hours. Please suggest how can i run large files in n8n (MB/GB sizes)
hello @cyberengg_automation
What is your use case? N8n ssh node is not for running large files
@barn4k Thanks for the respinse, I’m trying to analyze a large PCAP file using Tshark installed on my VM. The plan is to execute the Tshark command through the n8n SSH node, retrieve the results into n8n, and then perform further analysis using n8n workflows.
However, I’m running into an issue when handling large datasets. I’m seeing similar problems not only with PCAP analysis but also when ingesting large volumes of data into n8n through sources like Google Sheets or Excel.
Has anyone faced this type of limitation or performance issue when processing large data in n8n? Any suggestions or best practices to handle this efficiently would be helpful.
What is your setup? How much memory and CPU? Which n8n version are you using?
