Step 6: Export Monitoring Agents

Export information about locally installed Monitoring Agents to JSON from the Nodinite Overview page.

Prerequisites

Steps

  1. Open the Web Client
  2. Navigate to Administration → Tools → Nodinite Overview in the sidebar

Nodinite Overview page with Export Monitor Agents button
Example of the Nodinite Overview page showing the 'Export Monitor Agents' button in the top-right corner.

  1. Click Export Monitor Agents in the top-right corner of the page

  2. The Export Monitor Agents modal opens showing the JSON output

Example of the Export Monitor Agents modal showing the JSON array with MonitorAgentId, UniqueId, ConnectionType, and ServiceURL fields. Click the text area to copy all content to clipboard.

  1. Verify the UniqueId field is present and populated (set during the database migration in Step 4)
  2. Click the text area to copy the JSON to clipboard
  3. Review the JSON and exclude remote agents — only include agents installed on the same server as Nodinite Core Services. Exclude Dynamics CRM and Datapower agents, which are legacy agents that must be updated using the old MSI-based installer, not the Portal.
  4. Edit the JSON if needed to remove entries for agents on other servers
  5. Keep the clipboard content ready for the next step
  6. Return to Portal

Note

If any Service URL has localhost it MUST be changed to the actual hostname of the server where the agent is installed. The portal will NOT accept localhost as a valid hostname for import. Match the entry to the server name used in Step 1: Register Environment and the hostname of the server where the agent is installed.

Completion Checklist

  • Monitoring Agents exported to JSON
  • UniqueId field verified in JSON output
  • JSON copied to clipboard
  • Remote agents excluded (if any)
    • Datapower and Dynamics CRM agents must not be imported. If the JSON contains entries for these agents, remove them before pasting. These are legacy agents that must be updated using the old MSI-based installer, not the Portal.

Troubleshooting

Export Button Missing

Problem: Cannot find Export Monitor Agents button.

Solution:

  • Verify you are logged in as administrator
  • Navigate to Administration → Tools → Nodinite Overview
  • Clear browser cache and reload

JSON Missing UniqueId

Problem: Exported JSON does not contain a UniqueId field.

Solution:

  • Verify the [Step 4: Deploy Core Services with CLI][Step04] deployment completed successfully
  • Check that the database migration ran without errors
  • Re-run the CLI deployment from [Step 4: Deploy Core Services with CLI][Step04]
