Monitoring Event Grid Topics in Azure

Learn how to monitor the Azure Event Grid Topics and Subscriptions.

This page provides documentation about Event Grid Topic and Event Grid Topic Subscription Monitoring options using Nodinite from one or more role-based Monitor Views. Nodinite monitors the configured Event Grids with Topics and Subscriptions. Monitoring is based in pre-defined thresholds; Remote commands are available as Actions to help you swiftly address reported problems. The Remote Actions are detailed on the Managing Event Grid page.
Event Grid Resources
Example list of monitored Event Grid resources in a Nodinite Monitor View.

Monitoring Features

  • State Evaluation - Provide state evaluation according to pre-defined policy.

    If Nodinite can't check your Event Grid items' state, chances are no one else can use them either.

  • Event Grids for configured Subscriptions are automatically monitored.
  • Category-based monitoring - The monitored Resources groups by the Nodinite concept of Categories.
  • Share access to individual items from within Nodinite using one or more role-based Monitor Views.

State evaluation for Event Grid

The Event Grid Topics to monitor manifests within Nodinite as one or more Resources. For example, if you have three Event Grid Topics, you will have three Resources in Nodinite.

Many other Azure related Categories exists as well, please review the Azure Logging and Monitoring Overview

  • The Application name is created with the following pattern: Configuration name/Resource Group Name

Each item (presented in Nodinite as a Resource) evaluates with a state (i.e. OK, Warning, Error, Unavailable).

You can override the evaluation process by configuring the Expected State option available for all Nodinite Resources.

During root cause analysis or other purposes, it might be helpful to understand how often your Event Grid Topic problems happen. If your Monitor View allows it, you can search for historical state changes for the provided time-span either for all your Event Grid Topic or individually. This topic is further detailed within the generic instructions on how to Add or manage Monitor View page.
