Monitoring Features
- State Evaluation - Provide state evaluation according to the pre-defined policy.
If Nodinite can't check your Data Factory items' state, chances are no one else can use them either.
- The Data Factory discovers Automatically

- Category-based monitoring - The monitored Resources groups by the Nodinite Categories concept.
- Share access to individual items from within Nodinite using one or more role-based Monitor Views.
State evaluation
The Data Factory and related Pipelines to monitor manifests within Nodinite as one or more Resources. For example, if you have three Data Factories with two pipelines each, you will have nine Resources in Nodinite.
