Applications

Organize your monitoring landscape by business system with Nodinite Applications. Group all Resources belonging to a specific business system—like a BizTalk Application, Windows Server, or Azure subscription—for simplified management, end-to-end monitoring, and business-aligned access control.

Why use Applications:

  • ✅ Business alignment - Group Resources by business system or integration workflow
  • ✅ End-to-end monitoring - See all components of a system in one Monitor View
  • ✅ Simplified troubleshooting - When one system fails, see all affected Resources instantly
  • ✅ Team-based access - Grant teams access to their Applications without exposing others
  • ✅ Automatic grouping - Applications are auto-populated from BizTalk, Windows Servers, and other sources

The Nodinite Application concept, like the Category concept, groups related Resources. The Resources come from Monitoring Agents and you can use the Application grouping feature to decide what to include in Monitor Views.

For example, all Resources in a BizTalk Application, or from a named Windows Server share the same Application Name. In these cases, the name of the BizTalk Application is being used, and the display name of the Windows Server. This makes it easy for the Nodinite system Administrator to group Resources in Monitor Views by business system or integration workflow.

Origin of Application names

The Application names are automatically populated from Resources during the sync operation of the Monitoring Service. The Resources comes from the Monitoring Agents. The Monitoring Service knows about the whereabouts of the Monitoring Agents from the settings in Monitoring Agents.
