What is a Nodinite Alarm Plugin?

System integration experts know every organization has unique processes and workflows. Nodinite empowers you with flexible Alarm Plugins—delivering alerts exactly how and where you need them.

A Nodinite Alarm Plugin is loaded by the Monitoring Service. Each time a Monitor View changes its state, an alert is triggered (depending on your configuration) by calling the included Alarm Plugins.
For example, an email Alarm Plugin may send a notification every time the Monitor View changes state.
Alerts can be customized by the System Administrator, either directly using a Stylesheet or by a Developer using custom code in your own Webhook.


Why Use Nodinite Alarm Plugins?

Instant Awareness – Get notified as soon as an issue arises.
Full Control – Define custom logic and target the right audience.
Seamless Integration – Works with your existing tools—no need to adapt your processes.
Scalable & Customizable – Configure alarms to fit your exact business needs, from global to per-Monitor View settings.

Nodinite Alarm Plugins are designed for maximum flexibility, empowering you to automate incident response, ensure compliance, and keep your business running smoothly.


How Do Alarm Plugins Work?

Every time a Monitor View in Nodinite changes state, the Monitoring Service automatically triggers the configured Alarm Plugins.
For example:

  • A Webhook can notify your incident management system and include Custom Metadata. This is ideal for Partner solutions.
  • The Nodinite Email Plugin can send alerts to your team.
  • The Nodinite Event Log Plugin can store notifications for audit and compliance.

🎯 Our Recommendation:
💡Use the Nodinite HTTP Webhook Alarm Plugin for maximum flexibility and control—tailor alerts to your specific needs effortlessly!


Out-of-the-Box Alarm Plugins

Nodinite provides several ready-to-use Alarm Plugins:

Managing Alarm Plugin Entries

Creating Reusable Alarm Plugin Configurations

New 7.2
Administrators can create reusable Alarm Plugin configurations by clicking the Add Alarm button in the Alarm Plugins administration page. This allows you to:

  • Create named configurations for specific scenarios

  • Reuse configurations across multiple Monitor Views

  • Maintain consistent alert settings for different teams or use cases

    Add Alarm Button
    Click the Add Alarm button to create a new Alarm Plugin configuration.

Tip

Starting with version 7.2.0, any Monitor View using any of the 4 default Alarm Plugins (Email, Email with Options, Event Log, or HTTP Webhook) with specific settings is automatically converted to a new named Alarm Plugin entry. This makes it easy to identify and reuse specific configurations across multiple Monitor Views.

Deleting Alarm Plugin Entries

New 7.2
You can delete Alarm Plugin entries that are no longer needed. However, hard delete is only possible if there are NO Monitor Views bound to the entry. This safeguard prevents accidental removal of Alarm Plugins that are actively in use.

Permanently Delete Disabled
The Permanently Delete option is disabled when Monitor Views are using the Alarm Plugin.

Important

Before deleting an Alarm Plugin entry, ensure that no Monitor Views are configured to use it. The system will prevent deletion if any Monitor Views reference the Alarm Plugin.


The Bottom Line

🔔 Be the first to know when something happens.
React instantly and prevent costly downtime.
Integrate alerts into your existing workflow effortlessly.
