Getting started
Welcome to the Nodinite Getting Started Guide! Unlock the full potential of Nodinite for seamless system integration, proactive monitoring, and self-service logging. Whether you are a technical expert or a business stakeholder, this guide empowers you to:
- ✅ Achieve true self-service for integration monitoring and logging
- ✅ Gain instant visibility and control over your business processes

- ✅ Access comprehensive documentation and knowledge in one place
The Getting started user guides help end-users of Nodinite, typically using the Web Application called the Web Client. These pages provide clear, actionable information and direct links to in-depth technical documentation as needed.
Nodinite delivers value to all stakeholders by providing up-to-date, relevant information regardless of the integration technology or platform. Explore these core features:
| Monitoring | Logging | Repository |
|---|---|---|
| Get alerts whenever there is a problem and fix it before it gets someone else's problem too | Find what you are looking for | Documented solutions are key to personal independence |
Order flow — the self-service journey
Experience how Nodinite enables self-service for a complete order flow. The Order flow journey walks a business user through it, one short task at a time:
| # | Task | You'll be able to | Logging | Monitoring |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Find an order by Order Id | Search your Log View by Order Id and see every logged step | ||
| 2 | See what happened to an order | Read the order as a document, follow its timeline, see the error, add a comment | ||
| 3 | Know when orders stop coming in | Read the order-flow state in a Monitor View and get alerts when the count drops |
What your administrator sets up once for each task (Log View, Search Field, Stylesheet, Non-Events check, alert recipients) is listed on the journey page. More journeys are listed under Scenarios.
Logging
Find what you are looking for
How to use Logging
Access logged events and payloads using tailored Role based Log Views. Nodinite audits all operations for full traceability.
| End-user perspective | Administrator perspective |
|---|---|
| How do I find order '123' that I'm missing? | How do I create a Log View where end-users can find orders by Order Id? |
What Logging is
Nodinite logs and archives events and data from many system integration platforms. You always find what you need with true end-to-end logging.
Why Logging matters
System integration solutions often span multiple systems, both on-premise and in the cloud. Even identifying the right system to investigate can be a challenge. Nodinite gives you access to all your integration data in one place, eliminating the need for multiple products with steep learning curves and complex pricing.
How Logging works
Nodinite collects events and data using Logging agents or embedded code within integration brokers/applications.
If you are a Developer, start with reading the Asynchronous Logging guide.
Monitoring
Get alerts whenever there is a problem and fix it before it gets someone else's problem too
How to use Monitoring
Manage and access monitored Resources using tailored Role based Monitor Views. Nodinite audits all operations for accountability.
| End-user perspective | Administrator perspective |
|---|---|
| How do I know there's a problem with my Order integration? | How do I create a Monitor View for the Order flow? |
What Monitoring is
Nodinite monitors all links as Resources in the integration chain. You receive alerts and resolve issues proactively with true end-to-end monitoring.
Why Monitoring matters
With integrations spread across on-premise and cloud systems, you need to identify and resolve issues quickly. Nodinite lets you interact with all monitored Resources in one place, streamlining operations and reducing complexity.
How Monitoring works
Nodinite supervises and interacts with monitored Resources using Monitoring agents.
Repository Model
Documented solutions are key to personal independence
How to use the Repository Model
Nodinite provides documentation as a CMDB feature called the Repository Model. Nodinite Administrators or repository contributors manage the Repository Model as your single source of truth.
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Monitor Views | Access documentation instantly—no more searching |
| Alerts | Get the information you need to resolve issues or create well-defined tickets |
| Log Views | Easily identify which Integration logged each event |
| Knowledge base Articles | Access related articles and user guides directly from Monitor Views |
| Integration Landscape | Visualize your integration landscape with drag-and-drop entities for a holistic overview |
| End-user perspective | Administrator perspective |
|---|---|
| How do I know how many Integrations I have? | How do I create and manage Integrations? |
What the Repository Model is
Nodinite defines common system integration entities in a standard way, creating a unified representation that fits all integration platforms.
Why the Repository Model matters
With integrations distributed across on-premise and cloud systems, you often find documentation fragmented. Nodinite lets you document everything in one place, reducing complexity and increasing independence.
How the Repository Model works
Nodinite includes built-in administration for managing the Repository Model. Developers automate documentation using the Web API as part of their DevOps routines.
