Stay ahead of issues! Nodinite alerts you to problems in your Resource Groups and provides instant access to details, with no Azure portal required.
Nodinite monitors the configuration and status of your Azure Resource Groups.

Monitoring Features
- State Evaluation – Nodinite evaluates the state of each Resource Group according to your defined policy.
If Nodinite can't check your Resource Group items' state, chances are no one else can use them either.
- Automatic Discovery – The Nodinite Azure Agent uses the Azure REST API to automatically discover Resource Groups.
- Category-based Monitoring – Group Resources by the Nodinite concept of Categories.
- Role-Based Access – Share access to individual items using one or more Monitor Views.
State Evaluation for Azure Resource Group
Nodinite presents each monitored Resource Group as a Resource. For example, three Resource Groups appear as three separate Resources in Nodinite.
- The Resource name matches the Resource Group name from the Azure portal.
- Monitored Resource Groups belong to the 'Resource Group' Category.
Many other Azure-related Categories exist; see the Azure Logging and Monitoring Overview.
- The Application name follows this pattern:
Display Namefrom the Configuration
Each Resource evaluates to a state (OK, Warning, Error, Unavailable). You can override the evaluation by configuring the Expected State for any Nodinite Resource.
Diagram: The agent checks each Resource Group (blue) and reports OK (green) when it's found and reachable, or Unavailable (red) when it's deleted or can't be reached. Warning and Error thresholds don't apply to Resource Groups.

For the Azure Resource Group Resources, the state evaluates as described in the table below:

| ❌ Error | Error threshold is breached | N/A | |
| ⚠️ Warning | Warning threshold is breached | N/A | |
| ✅ OK | Within user-defined thresholds | Details |
When the state is Unavailable, check the App Registration roles and the network path in the Prerequisites.
Alert history for Resource Group
During root cause analysis or other purposes, it might be helpful to understand how often your Resource Group problems happen. If your Monitor View allows it, you can search for historical state changes for the provided time-span, either for all your Resource Groups or individually. The Add or manage Monitor View page details this topic.
