What's being evaluated for 'Throttling'?

Throttling is a normal part of BizTalk operations, but extended throttling can signal underlying issues. Nodinite evaluates if the throttling state has been active beyond your configured threshold (e.g., more than X minutes), so you can take timely action.

  • Message delivery throttling state
  • Message publishing throttling state
