Add or Manage Endpoints – Create, Document & Monitor Integration Endpoints

- 4 minutes to read

Unlock the full potential of Nodinite Endpoints. This guide shows you how to add, manage, and optimize Endpoints using the Nodinite Web Client. Empower your team with self-service log views, documentation, and actionable insights for your system integration solutions.

What you’ll achieve by following this guide:

✅ Effortless creation and management of Endpoints for all integration scenarios
✅ Flexible documentation and metadata for every Endpoint
✅ Rapid editing, filtering, sorting, and exporting for compliance and reporting
✅ Context-aware governance and visibility for integrations, services, and more
✅ Override the character encoding when a Message Type arrives differently on this Endpoint

The Nodinite Logging feature, using information from the Nodinite Log Events, automatically creates the Endpoints.

Add or manage Endpoint

Add a new Endpoint by clicking the Add Endpoint button.

Click the 'Add Endpoint' button to open the edit page for Endpoints.

Edit any existing Endpoint by clicking the row in the overview.

The General tab of the INT101: Receive Hello World Log Events Endpoint from the Log API sample, with Character encoding left on Inherit from the Message Type.

Icon	Mandatory	Field	Description
		Name	Enter a user-friendly name
		Description	Add a user-friendly description
		Web Site	Add a link to external documentation or system
		URI	Specify the physical or logical address (Uniform Resource Identifier used for message exchange in your integration solution)
		Direction	Select the direction for the Endpoint from pre-defined options
		Endpoint Type	Select the type of Endpoint from pre-defined options
		Log Agent	Select the Log Agent that this Endpoint belongs to
		Character encoding	Character encoding of messages on this Endpoint; default Inherit from the Message Type ^{New 7.11}

Character encoding

A Message Type can arrive on different Endpoints in different encodings. For example, an order format is UTF-8 on the REST API but Windows-1252 from a legacy FTP drop. Use Character encoding to override the Message Type encoding for messages on this Endpoint only. ^{New 7.11}

Pick an encoding to supersede the Message Type, or clear the field to return to Inherit from the Message Type.

Inherit from the Message Type (default, shown when the field is empty) – use the Character encoding set on each message's Message Type. Clear the field to return to this.
Any supported encoding, such as UTF-8 (with BOM), Windows-1252, EBCDIC (IBM037), or Base64 Decode into UTF-8 (without BOM) – use this encoding for every message on this Endpoint, whatever its Message Type.

The Endpoint setting is the third of four priorities. An encoding named in the XML declaration of the body, and an ExtendedProperties/1.0#Encoding context property on an individual Log Event, both win over it. See Character Encoding for the full priority order and every supported encoding.

You can also set the encoding from DevOps pipelines with the Web API.

Custom Metadata

Add Custom Metadata to your Endpoint to provide additional documentation and business context.

Custom Metadata enriches your Endpoint documentation and governance.

If you define Custom Metadata, Nodinite presents it at the bottom of the page.

Custom Fields

Add Custom Fields to your Endpoint for flexible, reusable metadata.

Custom Fields provide extra documentation and support for your Endpoint.

Services

View the list of Services associated with your Endpoint for complete integration context.

Advanced

Use the Advanced tab to manage BizTalk Server-specific settings:

Default Message Type on send port – Override pass-thru ports where the message type for non-XML messages would otherwise be:
- Unparsed interchange
- Serialized Interchange
Enable re-mapping of dynamic send ports – Use this when your static or dynamic send port (by code, such as in a custom pipeline) changes the type of port or address. Nodinite would otherwise miss tracked data since the expected configuration does not match.

Statistics

Use the perpetual Statistics tab to analyze traffic patterns for your selected Endpoint. View a list of tracked Message Types for deeper operational insight.
