When Nodinite detects a problem with your BizTalk Server and hosted artifacts like ports and orchestrations an alert can get distributed using any of the built-in Alarm plugins to get you or the responsible organization aware and involved.

Delegate control and fix problems with ease

With Nodinite you can view and potentially fix many of your BizTalk Server-related problems from an application perspective. Delegate control using role-based security and Managing Microsoft BizTalk Server from the Web Client.

Audited operations

All modifying operations that users perform from within Nodinite can be audited. This even applies to Suspended Instances and users can even add Comments. These features are great for organizations with legal demands on tracing how, when and by whom these messages were dealt with.

Stay secure

Nodinite has Role-based security and enables you to restrict access down to individual BizTalk applications or even specific artifacts using Monitor Views. We at Nodinite think it is wise to limit the number of BizTalk Server Administrators from having direct access to BizTalk Servers and messages (think about content, what's on those messages anyway?). All operations in Nodinite are being audited.

How do I know how many BizTalk Server Applications I have?

Nodinite has a smart way to group your resources and either look directly in the Web Client or you can customize and automate this further through the Web API and that data can be used within your Power BI Reports.

Grow together

Over time as your system integration solutions using BizTalk grow with additional processing servers, BizTalk artifacts and other related and dependent services, Nodinite and the Agent automatically detect and monitor additional deployed resources and services. There is no need to code or change anything within your infrastructure (except access rights...).
