Manage Azure Web Jobs Monitoring
Take full control of your Azure Web Jobs with Nodinite. This page has two parts, Continuous Web Jobs and Triggered Web Jobs, so you can apply the right actions, thresholds, and history views for each type without direct access to the Microsoft Azure Portal.
- ✅ Delegate management of all or individual Web Jobs to selected team members and business users
- ✅ Reduce risk by limiting the number of people with high Azure access rights
- ✅ Enable self-service and data access for business stakeholders
- ✅ Perform remote actions and configure monitoring thresholds directly from Nodinite
Animated walkthrough: open the History of a triggered Web Job, where each run has its own Actions menu with Download and Save all as .zip sits below the list, then the Details of a continuous Web Job.
Support and maintenance teams resolve issues quickly and securely, with fewer attack vectors and better business continuity for mission-critical services.
If you are new to the feature, start with Monitoring Web Jobs to understand the monitoring model before you use the Start, Stop, Run, History, and Edit actions.
| Application Management Team | IT Operations | Business |
|---|---|---|
| Your AM team can start and stop services without IT operations involvement | You maintain full oversight and control | Business users get data and self-service for Web Job solutions |
