Monitoring Azure Service Bus Topics

Nodinite gives you real-time visibility and proactive control over your Azure Service Bus Topics. The Nodinite Message Queueing Monitoring Agent empowers integration experts to detect bottlenecks, automate alerts, and resolve issues instantly—ensuring seamless, reliable system integration and maximum uptime.

On this page, you will learn how to:

• ✅ Monitor Azure Service Bus Topics with no coding required
• ✅ Automatically discover and visualize all resources in your environment
• ✅ Detect bottlenecks, dead letters, and configuration issues before they impact business
• ✅ Take remote actions to resolve issues directly from Nodinite

The Nodinite Monitoring features for Azure Service Bus ensure you get alerts for performance issues, message stockpiling, and provide remote actions to view and resolve matters.

This section explains what is monitored, how Nodinite translates data into actionable insights, and how you can use remote commands (Actions) to swiftly manage problems. See Remote Actions and the Managing Azure Service Bus Topic page for more details.

Nodinite auto-discovers deployed Azure Service Bus resources like Topics, Topic Subscriptions, Queues and more from your Resource Groups included in the Monitoring. These are presented as Resources in Monitor Views.

Here's an example of Nodinite Monitoring of Azure Service Bus Topics as seen in a Nodinite Monitor View

Monitoring Features

• No coding required(!)
• Automatic Discovery
  • Nodinite Azure agents use the SDK and the Azure Rest API and offer you an automatic discovery of your Azure Service Bus Topics. Sharing access to any individual Topics is very easy from within Nodinite.
• State Evaluation - Make sure the Azure Service Bus resources have the intended run-time state and not stockpiling messages

  If Nodinite can't check the state of your Azure Service Bus resources, chances are no one else can either.

State evaluation

Each monitored 'Service Bus Topic' is displayed in Nodinite Monitor Views as Resources with its currently evaluated state. If you have 11 deployed Azure Service Bus Topics, then you will have 11 Resources in Nodinite with potentially different monitored evaluated states at any given moment.

The evaluated state may be reconfigured using the Expected State override setting on every Resource within Nodinite.

Azure Service Bus Topic

• All Azure Service Bus Topics belong to the 'Service Bus Topic' category:
  

• The Application name is based on physical deployment paths. This pattern guarantees uniqueness:

  • subscription name/resource group name/namespace name

Here's an example of Application naming pattern providing uniqueness

Each monitored Service Bus Topic is a Resource and can have one of the following states at any given moment:

Alert history for Azure Service Bus

During root cause analysis or other purposes, it might be helpful to understand how often your Azure Service Bus problems happen. If your Monitor View allows it, you can search for historical state changes for the provided time span, either for all your Azure Service Bus or individually. This topic is further detailed within the generic instructions on how to Add or manage Monitor View page.
