Non-Events Configuration

Unlock proactive, number-based monitoring from the Logging with Nodinite! This guide shows you how to configure Non-Events monitoring using Log Views, set up flexible thresholds, and leverage advanced features for seamless integration and business insight.

✅ Proactively detect missing or delayed business-critical messages
✅ Set up flexible, number-based alerting for any scenario
✅ Leverage Log Views and advanced intervals for precise monitoring
✅ Empower your business with step-by-step configuration and best practices

This guide walks you through configuring the Nodinite Non-Events Monitoring Agent to deliver number-based alerts from Non-Events Monitoring configurations, using results from Nodinite Log Views.

Nodinite offers two powerful configuration types for Non-Events Monitoring:

  • Non-Events (this page) – Monitor based on the number of rows from a search operation on a Nodinite Log View.
  • ACK/NAK – Monitor based on correlation using a grouped Nodinite Log View.

Non-Events

Use the Non-Events tab to manage one or more Non-Event configurations for precise, number-based monitoring.
Empty Non-Events tab
This image shows the Non-Events configuration tab.

  • Click the Add button to create a new Non-Events configuration.

    Add new Non-Events configuration
    This image shows how to add a new Non-Events Monitoring configuration.

  • Expand the accordion to reveal configuration details.
  • Repeat these steps for multiple configurations.

Basic Tab

In the Basic tab, enter essential details for your Non-Events configuration.
Basic tab - Non-Events
This image shows a Non-Events configuration—one accordion per entry.

  • Enabled – Activate or deactivate this Non-Event configuration.
  • Name – Enter a user-friendly display name.
  • Description – Add a clear description for this configuration.
  • Log View API URI – Specify which 'Log View' to use. Copy and paste the URI from the 'Copy API URI' dialog in the Log View.

    Copy the address from a Log View after you perform a search.
    Copy API URL
    This image shows how to copy the API URL from a Nodinite Log View for use in your Non-Events configuration.

Info

:The system generates the URL, but you may need to adjust it for your IIS environment. If you run the agent on the same server as Nodinite Core Services, use http://localhost/... instead.

  • Search time-span – Define how far back to search for 'Full interval' and 'Partial interval' evaluations. Use the format days.hours:minutes:seconds (e.g., 7.12:34:56).
    • Full Interval uses all data in the result.
    • Partial Interval lets you define multiple sub-intervals.
    • Monthly Interval supports monthly business cycles.

      Note

      Set the value to at least span the start date of the previous month, e.g., 31.00:00:00.

Important

:Ensure the Log View's Time Interval Configuration allows detailed time searches and does not use pre-defined intervals.

Full Interval Tab

Apply rules for the entire interval (search time-span) in the Full Interval tab.
Non-Events - Full Interval tab
This image shows the Non-Events 'Full Interval' tab.

  • Enable 'Full Interval' evaluation – Activate monitoring for the full interval.

    Disabled Full Interval
    This image shows a disabled 'Full Interval' Non-Events configuration.

  • Ignore this date – Temporarily disable monitoring for the day. Users can update this field by using a 'Clear the alert' Remote Action in a Monitor View.

Warning (Full Interval)

  • Warning - Min – Set the minimum expected events. The system triggers a Warning alert if the value is lower.
  • Warning - Max – Set the maximum expected events. The system triggers a Warning alert if the value is higher.
  • Warning - Log Text – Enter custom log text for warnings.

Error (Full Interval)

  • Error - Min – Set the minimum expected events. The system triggers an Error alert if the value is lower.
  • Error - Max – Set the maximum expected events. The system triggers an Error alert if the value is higher.
  • Error - Log Text – Enter custom log text for errors.

Partial Intervals Tab

Add one or more Partial Intervals to monitor sub-intervals within the main time span. You can configure each interval independently and allow them to overlap.
Empty partial interval
This image shows the Non-Events Partial Intervals tab.

  • Click the Add button to create a Partial Interval configuration.

    Add partial interval
    This image shows how to add a Partial Interval Monitoring configuration.

  • Expand the accordion for details.

New Empty Non-Events Partial Interval configuration

  • Display Name – Enter a name for the interval. If you leave this blank, Nodinite auto-generates one.

    Note

    If you leave this blank, Nodinite updates the Resource name based on the configuration.

  • Ignore this date – Disable monitoring for the day. You can update this via a Remote Action.

Important

:If you change the 'Display Name' or configuration, Nodinite may alter the Resource's name. If you reference Resources by name, review your Monitor Views after changes to ensure continued monitoring.

Next, configure the Interval and Thresholds tabs for each Partial Interval.

Interval Tab

Filter results using interval settings.
Non-Events - Partial Interval - Interval tab
This image shows an Interval configuration for a Partial Interval.

  • Partial interval type – Choose the interval type for this Partial Interval.
    Partial Interval Type

Partial Interval Type Description Comment
Default Evaluates the whole interval Current time must have passed the end date/time.
Multiple Days Same as Default, repeated for selected days.
Sliding Window Floating window evaluation Active when current time passes Start Date/Time + floating span.
Sliding Window - Multiple Days Floating window, repeated for selected days.
  • Start day – Select the start day.
  • Start time – Enter the start time (hh:mm:ss).

  • Warning - max – Set the maximum expected events. The system triggers a Warning alert if the value is higher.
  • Warning - Log Text – Enter custom log text for warnings.

Error (Partial Interval)

  • Error - min – Set the minimum expected events. The system triggers an Error alert if the value is lower.
  • Error - max – Set the maximum expected events. The system triggers an Error alert if the value is higher.
  • Error - Log Text – Enter custom log text for errors.

Monthly Intervals Tab

Monitor business transactions that occur monthly, not always on a specific date.

Important

:Ensure the 'Search time-span' includes the start date of the previous month.

Use the Monthly Intervals tab to add one or more configurations.
Non-Events - 'Monthly Intervals' tab
This image shows the Non-Events 'Monthly Intervals' tab.

  • Click the Add button to create a new configuration.

    This image shows the Ignore Dates tab for Non-Events.

  • Expand the accordion for details.

  • Repeat as needed.

Ignore dates

Example Description
YYYY Replace the current year
MM Replace the current month
DD Replace the current day

Note

:If you log events on the starting date of any Non-Events configuration, the system ignores that date.

Scheduling Tab

Learn more about scheduling in this guide (shared for Non-Events and ACK/NAKs).

Authentication Tab

Apply impersonation if the service account running the Non-Events Monitoring Agent lacks access to the Log View.

Tip

:Create a dedicated Non-Events role for the service account and add it to all Log Views you want to monitor. This approach often eliminates the need for impersonation.

Authentication tab when not checked (Non-Events)

  • Use Impersonation – Check this option to impersonate the call to the Log View. By default, the agent's account is used.

If you check this option, (*) appears in the Authentication tab, indicating impersonation is active.

Account Configuration (Non-Events)
Enter credentials for the account with Log View access rights.

Next Step

Scheduling – Set a period to limit call frequency. This step is crucial to prevent system overload and keep Nodinite responsive.
