Tip
Business users prefer business context? Use BPM instead! While Monitor Views are perfect for technical teams (operations, support, maintenance), business users can monitor the same Resources through BPM process diagrams that reflect real-world business workflows. Same operational data, two perspectives: technical (Monitor Views) or business (BPM with Services). Both support remote actions and self-service monitoring.

Diagram: The complete monitoring journey—from data collection to business user empowerment with self-service operations
A Nodinite Monitor View is a curated collection of systems integration workflow Resources managed by an Administrator. The Nodinite Administrator grants Business Users access using Role-based security, ensuring the right people have the right visibility and control. Nodinite offers multiple options for sending alerts, both out-of-the-box and through custom Alarm Plugins. You can delegate control and empower users to perform Remote Actions like start and stop—no more waiting for IT! With Nodinite, you eliminate manual labor for problem detection and response; configure monitored Resources for Auto Healing and let Nodinite automatically resolve issues according to your rules.
To create a true managed service, add Knowledge base Articles to Resources in your Monitor Views. This feature fosters personal independence by providing fast, easy access to valuable information such as operator instructions, Custom Metadata like System Owner and SLA.
Nodinite stores historical information, so you can use the view history feature to get the KPIs you need to validate your SLAs and drive continuous improvement.

Key Features
Visualize Problems
Nodinite displays the evaluated state of Resources using intuitive icons and colors, making it easy to spot issues at a glance.
Sample from a Monitor View with Resources in different monitoring states.
Read more about how a User can interact with Monitor Views (non-admin entry point) on the Monitor Overview page.
At the top of each Monitor View is a live pie chart summarizing the status of all included Resources.
Summary of the current state for included Resources
You can create any number of Monitor Views, each including Resources from one or more Monitoring Agents, Applications, and Categories—mix and match to fit your integration landscape.
Create end-to-end monitoring and alerts for individual system integration workflows, tailored to the exact dependencies of each solution.
Highly configurable, role-based Monitor Views provide self-service for end-users and customizable options for pushing alerts.
Get Those Responsible Aware of the Problem
Nodinite leverages Custom Metadata from the Repository Model to attach valuable information to alerts, so recipients instantly understand the severity and recommended actions—no searching required.
Whenever the state of Resources from any Monitoring Agents matches your Monitor View configuration, Alerts are pushed by Alarm Plugins. Nodinite ships with various mail and Windows Event Log plugins, and you can extend with your own.
- E-mail with options
- Windows Event Log – for use with, for example, SCOM
- HTTP Webhook
- 3rd party plugins
- Custom Alarm plugins using our templates and SDKs—for your issue-tracking system
Tip
You can customize the display of the output using the Nodinite Stylesheets feature.
From the configuration of Monitor Views, the Monitoring Service ensures you are always aware—Nodinite is Always Aware.

History of Distributed Notifications (Alert History)
Distributed Notifications (Alerts) are tracked and stored by Nodinite, providing a searchable history for auditing and troubleshooting. Users can easily search notifications by timespan, and the distributed notifications tab is visible to administrators with External notifications enabled.
Example of the 'Distributed Notifications' tab showing a history of sent alerts.
If the system cannot send an alert, it adds the entry to the Alarm Queue for retrying later. Read more in the 'What is an Alarm Queue Entry' user guide.
Fix Problems Using Remote Actions
Monitor Views with the Remote Actions Option enabled allow end-users to perform Remote Actions like start/stop directly from the interface. Each Resource provides its own set of actions. Nodinite continually adds new functions to streamline daily operations, proving that nothing is impossible.
Empower your power users: they do NOT need to be local administrators or have excessive access rights. Nodinite eliminates the need for RDP, VPNs, and third-party tools—just use your client browser.
Example of available Remote Actions.
With Nodinite version 6 and later, you can perform the same action on multiple resources simultaneously. Select any number of Resources and use the With selected button to choose the operation and resources to invoke.
Example of the With selected button to perform actions on multiple Resources.
Tip
You can also Exclude multiple Resources from the Monitor View using this button.
Documented Solutions
With just one click, you get instant access to operator instructions and documentation (Repository Model). No need for a separate WIKI or time-consuming searches—Nodinite delivers the right information, right when you need it.
You can bind a Monitor View to one or more Integrations and see the benefits immediately:
Example: Access from a Monitor View to your Repository Model
Add any number of Knowledge base Articles to Resources within the Monitor View for comprehensive, context-sensitive help.
Access your knowledgebase articles directly from Resources

WYSIWYG Editor makes it easy to write stylish instructions
Instant access to information and a WYSIWYG editing experience enable active, living documentation—driving prosperity for Managed Services by Partners.

Learn from Mistakes and Use the Statistics Feature to Prioritize Future Work
Many Resources provide statistics, such as CPU usage, web service response time, and BizTalk suspended messages. Nodinite also tracks the history of Monitoring Events. A Monitoring Event is any occasion a Resource changes its evaluated state (e.g., from 'OK' to 'Error'). Administrators can set Expected State to override the state reported by Monitoring Agents, providing flexibility for business needs.
Nodinite gives you statistics on how often problems occur and, crucially, how long it takes to resolve them. This information is displayed directly in Monitor Views.
With the Show History Option enabled, users can filter and search historical monitor events.
Example of historical Monitoring Events for a Resource
