Manage Monitoring of Key Vault in Azure
Don't let your business down! Get alerts for ageing Keys and Secrets and gain access to details without the Azure portal.
In Azure, Certificates deploys to different types of services. There are two types of collections you need to deal with:
- Azure Key Vault in general - This guide
- Certificates deployed to Azure API Management Service Certificates user guide.
In addition, Nodinite also has monitoring of other Certificates in other use cases and environments:
- Windows Certificates - Monitor Windows Server Key Vault (X.509).
- Web Service Certificates - Monitor Key Vault used by Web Applications, Web Services, and APIs to enable the use of the HTTPS protocol.
For your business and other end-users; Delegate the power to manage, and gain insights to selected Key Vault in Azure. Nodinite Monitoring aids the support and maintenance team's people in having additional data for root cause analysis without having individual direct access to the Microsoft Azure Portal. Reducing access limits the number of attack vectors, and having fewer people with fewer access rights minimizes the risk for disruption of mission-critical services.
