Manage Monitoring of Web Sites in Azure

Take control of your Azure Web Sites with Nodinite. Manage monitoring, perform remote actions, and empower your teams—all without direct Azure Portal access.

With this guide, you will:

✅ Receive instant alerts for issues with Azure Web Sites
✅ Empower teams with secure, delegated management and self-service
✅ Gain valuable run-time statistics for Azure Functions
✅ Reduce risk by limiting Azure Portal access and attack vectors
✅ Enable support and maintenance teams to resolve issues quickly

Nodinite uses an App Registration to connect and authenticate with the Azure REST API. You can read more about this concept in the Azure Application Access user guide.

You can empower your business and end-users to manage and gain insights into selected Web Sites in Azure. Nodinite Monitoring gives support and maintenance teams the data they need for root cause analysis—without requiring individual direct access to the Microsoft Azure Portal. By reducing access, you minimize attack vectors and lower the risk of disrupting mission-critical services.

Web Site

Use Remote Actions to manage and gain insights into your monitored Web Sites.

The following categories exist:

Web Site - Web App
Web Site - Function App

The 'Web Site - Web App' and 'Web Site - Function App' Category provide one Resource for each Web Site to monitor, using the Azure name as the Resource name.

Example from a Monitor View with a list of 'Azure Web Sites'.

See Monitoring Web Site for more details about Web Site Monitoring.

The Web Site category provides Resources that display the evaluated monitored state according to built-in rules.

If you have permission to perform Remote Action, you can use these operations:
