Using the Monitor Overview

This page helps you understand as a User how to make use of Nodinite Monitor Views using the Nodinite Web Client.

If you are a Nodinite Administrator and wants to manage Nodinite Monitor Views, you may be interested in the Monitor Views Overview user guide part of the Administration pages.

What is Monitoring?

Monitoring shows the real-time health of your integrations and systems. Each Monitor View tracks Resources like databases, message queues, web services, or applications—giving you instant visibility into what's working and what needs attention.

Monitor states:

• Green – System healthy, operating normally
• Yellow – Warning, attention may be needed soon
• Red – Error, immediate action required
• Gray – No recent data or maintenance mode

When problems occur, Nodinite automatically sends alerts to notify you or your support team. For certain issues, you may also have access to Remote Actions (like restarting a service) directly from the Monitor View.

How Monitoring Works

The diagram below illustrates the monitoring flow, from data collection to end-user action:

Monitoring Agents collect data, the Monitoring Service evaluates health, and business users access insights through role-based Monitor Views with self-service capabilities.

Business Process Monitoring

^{New 7.x} With Business Process Models (BPM) and Domains, you can monitor your integrations in organizational context—not just as technical resources, but as steps in real business processes across departments.

BPM brings process-level monitoring:

• Track process health – See if orders, invoices, or transactions are progressing normally across all steps
• Organizational visibility – Monitor by department (Sales, Finance, Logistics) using Domain swimlanes
• Milestone-based tracking – Follow transactions through each process step with automatic state tracking
• Instant troubleshooting – Click any business identifier (Order ID, Invoice Number) to see all related events across systems

When you use BPM, your Monitor Views can show Resources organized by business process, making it easier for teams to understand where problems occur in your workflows, not just what is failing technically.

Note

Business Process Models require a special BPM Module license. Contact your Nodinite representative to learn more about process-level monitoring capabilities.

Alerts and Notifications

When monitoring detects a problem, Nodinite automatically sends alerts to notify the right people at the right time. Alarm Plugins enable you to deliver notifications through multiple channels:

Built-in alert delivery:

• Email – Send detailed alert messages to individuals or distribution lists (native support)

Custom webhook integrations (via Webhook Alarm Plugin):

• SMS – Critical alerts via text message through SMS gateways (Twilio, etc.)
• Microsoft Teams – Post alerts to Teams channels for team collaboration
• Slack – Integrate with Slack workspaces for real-time team notifications
• ServiceNow – Create incidents automatically in your ITSM platform
• Custom systems – Connect to any system via HTTP/REST APIs

Key alert features:

• Role-based delivery – Alerts go only to users with access to the affected Monitor View
• Alarm Queue ^{New 7.x} – Resilient delivery ensures no alerts are lost if plugins temporarily fail
• Customizable content – Include resource details, error messages, and direct links to Monitor Views
• Alert suppression – Avoid alert fatigue with configurable suppression during maintenance windows

Administrators configure Alarm Plugins to determine who gets notified, how they're notified, and what information is included. Use the Webhook Alarm Plugin to integrate with third-party services like Teams, Slack, ServiceNow, and SMS providers. This ensures your support teams receive actionable alerts without being overwhelmed by noise.

Tip

Combine alerts with Remote Actions to give your teams the power to both see problems (alerts) and fix problems (actions) instantly—reducing mean time to resolution (MTTR).
