Administration Overview

Easily manage every aspect of your Nodinite environment from a single, intuitive dashboard. The Administration Overview enables integration experts and administrators to efficiently control logs, monitors, repositories, access, customization, and tools—empowering business users with self-service capabilities while maintaining enterprise-grade security.

What makes Nodinite Administration powerful:

✅ Self-service empowerment - Configure role-based access so business users monitor and troubleshoot independently
✅ Unified logging & monitoring - Manage both operational monitoring (Monitor Views) and business visualization (BPM) from one platform
✅ End-to-end visibility - Connect Logging → Monitoring → Repository → BPM for complete integration intelligence
✅ Granular security - Control access down to individual Log Views, Monitor Views, and BPM processes
✅ Automated operations - Enable auto-healing, remote actions, and proactive alerting without IT intervention

On this page, you will learn about the elements on screen and how to navigate the Administration sidebar menu in the Nodinite Web Client.

• You must be a member of the built-in Administrator Role to access this page.

The Administration Overview contains different panels with links to entities to manage.

Example of the Nodinite Administration Overview.

Log Management

Enable self-service access to logged events and business data:

• Log Views – Role-based access to log events with Search Fields for business users
• Search Fields – Extract business data (Order IDs, Customer Numbers) for searchability and BPM correlation
• Log Agents – Collect events from any platform (BizTalk, Azure, MuleSoft, custom APIs)

Tip

Log Management powers BPM: Configure Message Types and Search Fields to enable business process tracking and end-to-end correlation in BPM.

Monitor Management

Empower business users with operational monitoring and self-service troubleshooting:

• Monitor Views – Self-service monitoring with remote actions and automated alerts
• Monitoring Agents – Collect health data from on-premise, hybrid, and cloud resources
• Resources – Monitored components that bridge operational monitoring and BPM business views
• Categories – Group Resources by type (queues, services, APIs)
• Applications – Group Resources by business system for end-to-end monitoring

Tip

Resources connect Monitoring to BPM: Tie Resources to Services in the Repository Model, then place Services in BPM steps for business context with operational monitoring.

Repository Management

Document your integration landscape and enable business process visualization:

• Integrations – Document complete integration workflows
• Systems – Catalog external systems and applications
• Services – Bridge between operational Resources and business BPM processes
• Contracts – Define integration contracts and interfaces
• Message Types – Critical for Search Field extraction and BPM correlation
• Endpoints – Document integration endpoints
• Business Process Model^{New .7.x} – Visualize processes with real-time operational status from Resources
• Domains^{New 7.x} – Organize BPM swimlanes by team or organizational unit

Tip

BPM brings it all together: Combine logged events (Log Views), operational monitoring (Monitor Views via Resources), and integration documentation in visual business process flows.

CMDB Attributes

Enhance your integration documentation with knowledge management:

• Articles – Create knowledge base articles with operator instructions, troubleshooting guides, and runbooks
• Custom Fields – Add custom metadata fields to Repository Model entities for your organization's needs
• Custom Metadata – Extend entity information with additional attributes for reporting and categorization

Access Management

Secure your environment with granular, role-based access control:

• Roles – Define permission sets for business users, developers, and administrators
• Users – Manage user accounts and assign roles with appropriate access levels
• Windows AD Groups – Integrate with Active Directory for enterprise authentication and group-based permissions

Customize

• Display Field Configurations – Manage the name and order of columns used within Log Views
• Stylesheets – Manage Stylesheets used within Log Views
• Time Intervals – Manage time units used within Time Interval Configurations and Recurrence for alerts
• Time Interval Configurations – Manage the set of time units used as restrictions within Log Views
• Tags

Settings

The Settings menu provides quick access to managing essential parts of Nodinite

• Alarm Plugins – Manage the plugins for Alerts.
• External Instances – Manage connectivity to other instances of Nodinite, used for Export operations.
• Log Databases – Manage Log databases.
• Alarm Queue – Manage the Alarm Queue Entries.^{New .7.x}

Tools

The Tools menu provides administrators with powerful features for monitoring, auditing, and managing your Nodinite environment:

• Nodinite - Overview – Get real-time Run-time information, version details, and system health for your Nodinite instance
• Log Audits – Track what users and services are doing with your data for security, compliance, and troubleshooting
• Import / Export – Move configuration data between different instances of Nodinite (Dev → Test → Prod)
• User Notifications – Inform end-users about upcoming events, planned maintenance, and system announcements

Tip

Use Import/Export for change management: Export configuration from Test, import to Production to ensure consistency and reduce manual configuration errors.
