What are Remote Actions?

Nodinite Remote Actions empower authorized users to securely execute corrective commands on monitored Resources—without risky admin access or IT bottlenecks. Instantly resolve issues, reduce downtime, and delegate control to the right people, all with a full audit trail.

✅ Secure, self-service actions for business and IT users
✅ Instantly resolve common problems and reduce downtime

With Remote Actions in Nodinite, any User with the right permissions can interact with monitored Resources. Delegated rights mean users can resolve many common problems without hassle or delay.

Remote Actions are available for most Nodinite Monitoring Agents. For example, users can get details, start and stop services, view history, and run tasks on demand—all without being a global administrator.
