Make your organization aware of the problem
When Nodinite detects a problem with content in your log files 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 pay attention to reported problems with ease
With Nodinite, you can perform some remote operations and manage the evaluated state by monitoring your log files. Simply delegate control using role-based security and manage your Log File Parser configurations from the Web Client.
Stay secure
Nodinite has Role-based security and enables you to restrict access down to individual log files using Monitor Views. We at Nodinite think it is wise to limit the number of power users (administrators) from having direct access to servers and services. All operations in Nodinite are being audited.
How do I know how many Log files I have?
Nodinite has a smart way to group your resources and either looking 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 the number of log files grows with additional applications and other services, Nodinite and the Agent automatically detects and monitors additional log files. There is no need to code or change anything within your logging applications.
