📚 The Power of the Nodinite Repository Model

Integration Landscape
This image shows the Integration Landscape that you can sculpt by hand, automate, or leverage the Web API. If you develop the system integration solutions and know all the details, pass that data (Context Options) along with the Log Events.

Turn Your System Integration Documentation into a Live Asset

🔎 Do you know how many system integration solutions you actually have?

With the Nodinite Repository Model, Users gain real-time visibility and control over the entire Integration Landscape. Unlike static documentation (Word, Visio, Excel), the Nodinite Repository Model actively keeps your integration portfolio up to date as a CMDB-inspired database.

📌 Key Benefits:
✅ Instantly access integration data – See where you deploy integrations, their SLA levels, system owners, and more
✅ Embed Custom Metadata in alerts for faster troubleshooting
✅ Manage incidents seamlessly – Use webhook-based automation to update your ITSM or monitoring system instantly
✅ Create and share unlimited repository entries at no extra cost
✅ Automate everything – Use the Nodinite Web API to auto-populate data and integrate with external systems

What is the Repository Model?

The Nodinite Repository Model gives you an organized, structured way to document system integrations using Custom Metadata. You can dynamically track and categorize your integrations based on:

  • Deployment environments (Prod, Test, Dev)
  • SLA levels (Gold, Silver, Bronze)
  • Technology stacks (BizTalk, Mule, Logic Apps, Kafka, etc.)
  • Owners and responsible persons (John Doe, Jane Doe, etc.)
  • Business systems involved (ERP, HR, MES, CRM, etc.)
  • Any other attributes you define!

This graphical representation, called the Integration Landscape, is based on the relationship between different Nodinite repository artifacts.

Visualizing Your Integration Landscape

📌 The Repository Model lets you:

  • Create a visual integration landscape using interactive dashboards
  • Structure data with graphical models and tabular formats
  • Automatically include metadata in alerts and monitoring events
  • Integrate seamlessly with incident management tools via webhooks

💡 When everyone contributes to the Repository, your whole organization benefits. You never lose documentation—get instant insights when and where you need them!

Supercharge Your Incident Management Process

⏳ Every second counts when an incident occurs.
With Nodinite’s Repository Model, you automatically embed all critical metadata in alerts. When an integration fails, your team instantly receives essential details such as:

🔹 Affected system(s)
🔹 Responsible team or owner
🔹 Service level agreements (SLAs)
🔹 Integration type and dependencies

  • 🛠 Automate incident handling:
    • Use webhooks to integrate directly with your ITSM system (ServiceNow, Jira, etc.)
    • Reduce manual lookups – all required information is instantly available
    • Accelerate resolution times by eliminating delays caused by missing documentation

🚀 This automation reduces downtime, improves efficiency, and ensures a smooth troubleshooting process.
