Manage Monitoring of App Registrations in Azure

Take control of your Azure App Registrations with Nodinite. This guide shows you how to manage monitoring, perform remote actions, and empower your team with secure, role-based access—without granting direct Azure Portal access.

✅ Receive proactive alerts before a Secret or Certificate expires
✅ Instantly access Owner and Scope information
✅ Monitor Federated credentials and customize thresholds
✅ Delegate secure, self-service management to business and support teams

Use Nodinite to manage, monitor, and secure your Azure App Registrations for business agility and operational excellence.

Nodinite uses an App Registration to connect and authenticate with the Azure REST API. Learn more in the Azure Application Access guide.

Delegate management and insights for selected App Registrations in Azure to your business and end-users. Nodinite Monitoring empowers support and maintenance teams with actionable data for root cause analysis—without direct Azure Portal access. This approach reduces attack vectors and minimizes risk for mission-critical services.

Note

To optimize performance and conserve system resources, Nodinite caches App Registration data for five minutes. If you make changes in Azure, wait for the cache to update or restart the agent to see the latest information.

Management Features

For Resources in Role-based Monitor Views with Remote Actions privileges, Nodinite provides these remote actions grouped by Category:

As an Administrator with access to Configuration for Monitoring Agents, you can:

The App Registration category provides Resources that display the evaluated monitored state according to built-in rules.

If you have permission to perform Remote Actions, you can:

API Permissions

^{New 6.2.1.3}

The App Registration in use must have permission to read grants to present API Permissions. For more information, see the Azure Application Access guide.

Example: Assigned API Permissions for the selected App Registration.

If you see the following message, add the DelegatedPermissionGrant.Read.All permission to the Application in use for the monitored Subscription.

 Unable to display information about the status of grants because the current App Registration ('c6bb9cc3-6243-47be-b722-d2cd58351337') does not have permission to read this information. Please ensure that you add the DelegatedPermissionGrant.Read.All permission to the application. Additionally, note that the access token is cached, which means you either need to wait or restart the Monitoring agent after applying the changes in the Azure portal.

Example: Error message when the App Registration in use is missing access rights in Azure.
