Nodinite also provides Monitoring for these Azure API Management Service types:
This page documents how Nodinite enables you to monitor Azure API Management Service APIs from one or more role-based Monitor Views. Nodinite evaluates the state of your APIs using user-defined thresholds—either global or specific. You can manage your Azure API Management Service APIs directly, and remote commands are available as Actions to help you swiftly resolve issues. The Remote Actions are detailed on the Managing Azure API Management Service APIs page.
Example: Nodinite Monitor View displaying monitored Azure API Management Service APIs.
Monitoring Features
- State Evaluation – Instantly assess API health based on user-defined thresholds.
If Nodinite cannot check your Azure API Management Service items' state, no one else can use them either.
- Automatic Discovery – Nodinite Azure Agent leverages the Azure Rest API to dynamically manage and monitor your APIs.
- Category-based Monitoring – Organize and monitor APIs by the Category API Management Service - API.
- Role-based Access – Share access to individual APIs securely using Monitor Views.
- Unique Application Naming – Nodinite constructs application names as
/ConfigurationName/ResourceGroupName/API Management Service Name/for clarity and uniqueness, even across multiple Azure subscriptions.

State Evaluation for Azure API Management Service APIs
Nodinite presents each configured Azure API Management Service API as a [Resource][]. For example, if you monitor two services, you see two Resources in Nodinite.
- The Nodinite Resources name matches the deployed Azure API Management Service name.
Each item (shown as a Resource) receives a state (OK, Warning, Error, Unavailable) based on evaluation.
You can override the evaluation process by configuring the Expected State feature for any Nodinite [Resource][:].
API Management Service API
For the API Management Service - API Resource, Nodinite evaluates state as follows:
| State | Status | Description | Actions | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Unavailable | Resource not available |
|
Review prerequisites | |
| Error | Error threshold breached | N/A | ||
| Warning | Warning threshold breached | One or more issues detected
|
||
| OK | Within user-defined thresholds | Operational | Test API Details |
Alert History for Azure API Management Service
Nodinite empowers you to analyze alert history for your Azure API Management Service APIs. During root cause analysis, you can search for historical state changes for any time span, either for all APIs or individually, if your Monitor View allows it.
