What are Remote Actions?
With Remote Actions in Nodinite, any User given this right can interact with the monitored Resources. Without any hassle, the delegated rights mean the user has the power and means to resolve many common problems.
Remote Actions exist for most Nodinite Monitoring Agents. For example, get the details, start and stop services, view history, and run things on demand.
