Mapify – Interactive Dependency Visualization

New .7.x

Mapify is Nodinite’s next-generation visualization tool, designed to help you instantly understand and explore every dependency in your integration landscape. With Mapify, you see your entire Nodinite environment as a dynamic, interactive graph—circles and lines connect every entity, making complex relationships easy to grasp in both 2D and 3D layouts.

Mapify brings together configuration data from both Monitoring and the Repository Model, letting you visualize how Agents, Applications, Categories, Resources, and custom metadata are interrelated. Whether you’re troubleshooting, planning, or onboarding new team members, Mapify provides the clarity you need.

Why use Mapify?

Mapify empowers you to:

  • Instantly visualize all dependencies and relationships in Nodinite—including Monitoring and Repository Model data
  • Explore your integration landscape interactively with View Mode—double-click any node to navigate through relationships
  • Choose between multiple Mermaid diagram types to visualize data in the format that suits you best
  • Use Focus Modes to narrow your view and trace integrations end-to-end
  • Print or save your current visualization as an image directly from the interface
  • Filter and customize what's shown: choose entities, skip references, and tailor the view to your needs
  • Generate reports based on custom filters and options
  • Understand interrelated parts of your integration landscape at a glance
  • Perform Remote Actions directly on Resources in Monitoring
  • Navigate deeper into custom metadata and Monitoring for actionable insights
  • Visualize Domain knowledge from BPM—see which processes belong to Sales, Warehouse, Customer, and more

✅ See your entire integration landscape in a single, interactive graph
✅ Explore dependencies faster with interactive View Mode navigation
✅ Instantly identify dependencies, bottlenecks, and opportunities for optimization
✅ Empower teams to act with live Remote Actions and navigation

❗Mapify requires an additional licensing fee. Contact Nodinite Sales to enable this feature. Pricing varies with licensee turnover.

How does Mapify work?

Mapify renders every entity and relationship as circles and connecting lines in an interactive graph. You can:

  • Visualize Monitoring hierarchy: Agent → Applications → Categories → Resources
  • See Repository Model entities and their connections
  • Use naming schemes to divide and group parts for unique visualization (e.g., Subscription/Resource Group/Logic Apps/Workflow)
  • Explore BizTalk Applications with their Receive Ports, Maps, Orchestrations, and more

Diagram: Monitoring Hierarchy — Agents contain Applications, which contain Categories, which contain Resources. Resources, Applications, and Categories can all have Articles attached. Dashed arrows indicate a relationship that continues in the Repository Model diagram below.

Diagram: Repository Model — Integrations contain Systems, which own Services and Contracts. Domains (from BPM) also group Services. Services own Resources, which carry Custom Metadata. Articles are shared with the Monitoring Hierarchy (see that diagram). Dashed nodes are cross-diagram references.

Diagram: BPM — Business Process Models define Domains (consumed by the Repository Model) and are the grouping basis for Log Views in the Logging Hierarchy.

Diagram: Logging Hierarchy — Log Views (grouped by BPM) surface Log Events produced by Log Agents (with Status Codes). Services own Transport Contracts; Log Events also reference Transport Contracts directly. Transport Contracts define Message Types and Endpoints. Message Types carry Stylesheets and Search Fields, which can have Expressions and Links. Services are defined in the Repository Model.

Diagram: C4 Diagrams — No new entities are created. Existing Nodinite Repository entities (System, Service, Domain, Integration) are reused directly; the new C4 properties on each entity (left) determine which C4 model shape is emitted in the output diagram (right). C4DiagramConnectors carries the relationship label, technology, and direction. Dashed cross-references link back to the Repository Model diagram above. Mapify’s flexible filtering lets you create reports and visualizations tailored to your needs. Skip lines for references you don’t want to see, or focus on specific entities for targeted analysis.

Domain Knowledge & BPM Integration

Mapify isn’t just about technical dependencies—it also visualizes business context. By integrating Domain knowledge from BPM, Mapify makes it easy to see which processes belong to Sales, Warehouse, Customer, and other divisions. This helps you understand ownership, responsibilities, and process flows at a glance.
