Never let your business down! Nodinite keeps you informed and in control of your App Registrations, ensuring you always act before problems arise.

This page explains how Nodinite monitors App Registrations from one or more role-based Monitor Views. Nodinite tracks the age of App Registrations and lets you manage monitoring thresholds. You can use remote commands as Actions to swiftly resolve issues. Find details about Remote Actions on the Managing App Registration page.

App Registration as Resources (6.1.0.0)
Example: Monitored App Registrations in a Nodinite Monitor View.

Monitoring Features

  • State Evaluation – Instantly assess App Registration health based on policy.

    If Nodinite cannot check your App Registration state, no one else can use them either.

  • Automatic DiscoveryNodinite Azure Agent uses the Azure Rest API to automatically present App Registrations.
  • Category-based Monitoring – Group monitored Resources by Nodinite Categories.
  • Role-based Access – Share access to individual items using Monitor Views.

State Evaluation for App Registrations

Nodinite presents each App Registration as a Resource. For example, if you have three App Registrations, you see three Resources in Nodinite.

  • The Nodinite Resources name matches the deployed App Registration name.
  • Monitored App Registrations belong to the 'App Registration' Category.

Many other Azure-related Categories exist. Review the Azure Logging and Monitoring Overview.

  • The Application name uses the pattern: Subscription 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 option for any Nodinite [Resource][].

App Registration

For App Registration Resources, Nodinite evaluates state as follows:

Unavailable Resource not available
  • Evaluation of the 'App Registration' is not possible due to network or security issues

Note

To optimize performance and reduce system load, Nodinite caches App Registration data for five minutes. If you make changes in Azure, allow a few minutes for the agent to synchronize.


Alert History for App Registration

Nodinite lets you analyze alert history for your App Registrations. During root cause analysis, you can search for historical state changes for any time span, either for all App Registrations or individually, if your Monitor View allows it. Learn more in the Add or manage Monitor View guide.
