Pipeline category

Please also review the Recommended tracking settings for default pipelines user guide! There is a BUG in BizTalk that Nodinite can tackle and that you must be aware of.

Nodinite BizTalk Server Monitoring Agent provides robust monitoring and management for Pipelines, ensuring your tracking settings remain as recommended and protecting your environment from unwanted logging due to BizTalk bugs.

Pipelines in BizTalk are listed in Nodinite as resources by their unique name
Pipelines belong to a named BizTalk Server Application
BizTalk Server pipelines are grouped by the Category Pipeline

Here's an example of a Monitor View filtered by the 'Pipeline' category.

What are the key features for Monitoring BizTalk Server Pipelines?

State Evaluation – Monitors and evaluates the run-time state of pipelines and warns if body tracking is enabled

What is evaluated for the Pipeline category?

The table below explains the different evaluated states for pipelines:

State	Status	Description	Actions
Unavailable	Resource not available	Evaluation of the 'BizTalk Pipeline' is not possible due to network or security-related problems	Review prerequisites
Warning	Body tracking is enabled	Tracking is enabled before and/or after pipeline, which may cause hefty unwanted logging	Set default tracking
OK	Default tracking is applied	Default tracking options are currently set and no body tracking option is set

Tip
You can reconfigure the evaluated state using the Expected State feature on every Resource within Nodinite.

Remote Actions

The following Remote Actions are available:

✅ Set default tracking

Set default tracking

The 'Set default tracking' action resets the selected pipelines' tracking setting to default.

Here's an example of the Action button with menu item 'Set default tracking'.

Below is an example of a Microsoft BizTalk Server default pipeline with our recommended tracking settings:

Default tracking options.

Earlier versions of this agent had more actions, but we decided that Nodinite should only provide the one option that ensures the correct and anticipated behavior of your BizTalk Server environment.

Auto Healing

Tip
Use the Auto Healing feature of Nodinite to ensure Default Pipelines do not lose tracking settings when deploying or redeploying BizTalk Applications. We consider the lost setting of tracking a bug in BizTalk that can be compensated for using Nodinite's Auto Healing feature.
