Features

With the Nodinite Web Services Monitoring Agent, you can Monitor and Manage any number of Web Services and Web Applications, wherever they are:

  • Monitoring Web Services - Make sure your Web Services and Web Applications are available, running and performing according to your demands. Web Service Monitoring is easy to achieve, and you must not change existing solutions.
  • Managing Web Services - Fix problems, delegate access and control to responsible users.
  • Monitoring Certificates - Never miss an outdated, revoked or bad certificate again.

What can I do with the Nodinite Web Services Monitoring Agent?

Monitor all your Web Services regardless of the number

You will only need one license and one instance of the Web Services Monitoring agent for all your Web Services and Web Applications.

Learn from mistakes

Nodinite makes some performance statistics available. Further, you can use Power BI Reports. Learn and visualize or get the KPIs of interest.

Make your organization aware of the problem

When Nodinite detects a problem with your Web Services, Web Applications and hosted artifacts like certificates and 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 Web Service-related problems from an application perspective. Delegate control using role-based security and Managing Web Services from the Web Client.

Stay secure

Nodinite has Role-based security and enables you to restrict access down to individual Web Services using Monitor Views. We at Nodinite think it is wise to limit the number of IIS Administrators from having direct access to Web Services and logs (think about content, what's on those logs anyway?). All operations in Nodinite are being audited.

How do I know how many Web Services I have?

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