This page provides documentation about Resource Group Monitoring options using Nodinite from one or more role-based Monitor Views. Nodinite monitors Resource Group configuration. You can manage the set of Resource Groups to monitor for configured Resource Groups; Remote commands are available as Actions to help you swiftly address reported problems.

    If Nodinite can't check your Resource Group items' state, chances are no one else can use them either.

  • Selected resource groups for configured Subscriptions can be monitored
  • Category-based monitoring - The monitored Resources groups by the Nodinite concept of Categories.
  • Share access to individual items from within Nodinite using one or more role-based Monitor Views.

State evaluation for Azure Resource Group

The Resource Groups to monitor manifests within Nodinite as one or more Resources. For example, if you have three Resource Groups, you will have three Resources in Nodinite.

  • The Nodinite Resources name is the same as Resource Group from within the Azure portal.
  • Monitored Resource Groups belong to the 'Resource Group' Category:

Many other Azure related Categories exists as well. Review the Azure Logging and Monitoring Overview user guide.

Each item (presented in Nodinite as a Resource) evaluates with a state (i.e. OK, Warning, Error, Unavailable).

You can override the evaluation process by configuring the Expected State option available for all Nodinite Resources.
