Edit Thresholds
💡Edit the Monitoring thresholds for the selected Service Bus Queue.
Nodinite empowers you to actively manage Monitoring thresholds for your Azure Service Bus Queues. This page guides you through editing queue-specific settings to optimize performance, reliability, and alerting.
Expect to:
- ✅ Gain full control over queue Monitoring thresholds for proactive management
- ✅ Override global settings with queue-specific configurations
- ✅ Enhance reliability with tailored alerting and automated actions
- ✅ Leverage Nodinite's intuitive interface for seamless configuration
Use the Edit thresholds page to change the Monitoring thresholds. When untouched, the Monitoring is using the global settings which you can change using the Remote Configuration. You can override these individually for each queue.
You can modify the following properties:
- Description - Brief Nodinite specific description of the queue.
- Delete message on resubmit - When checked, delete the original message by default after a successful resubmit operation.
- Allowed timespan - Evaluate the age of the first message on the queue. Warning and Error alerts are triggered based on the age of the first message on the queue.
- Queue Count Evaluation Type:
- None - Count-based Monitoring is disabled.
- Fixed - Evaluate the Monitoring based on the number of messages on the queue.
- Percentage - Evaluate the Monitoring based on the current size vs the maximum allowed size of the queue.
- Comes First - Both the Fixed and Percent options are enabled and the Monitoring yields alerts on what happens first.
Click the Edit thresholds menu item in the Actions button on the selected queue to open the Edit Service Bus Queue Monitoring Thresholds modal.
Shows the Edit thresholds menu item in the Actions button.

Queue Description
You can manage the Description field for the Nodinite Resource. This option provides you a way to add a "comment" for the specific queue.
Delete message on resubmit
When checked, delete the original message by default after a successful resubmit operation. The User can override this setting on individual resubmit operations.
Timespan evaluation
- Allowed timespan - manage threshold for the maximum allowed age for the first message on the specific queue
| State | Name | Data Type | Value Example | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Warning TimeSpan | Timespan | 00:05:00 (5 minutes) | The age of the first message on the queue to trigger Warning alert | |
| Error TimeSpan | Timespan | 01:10:00 (1 hour 10 minutes) | The age of the first message on the queue to trigger Error alert |
Count Based Evaluation
The queue based Monitoring is a powerful feature that allows you to monitor the number of messages in your Azure Service Bus Queue. This feature can help you ensure that your queues are not overloaded and that messages are processed in a timely manner.
| State | Name | Data Type | Value Example | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Warning Count | integer | >=0 | The number of messages to go above on the queue to trigger Warning alert | |
| Error Count | integer | >=0 | The number of messages to go above on the queue to trigger Error alert | |
| Warning Limit % | integer | 1-100 | Set the threshold quota value in percentage (1-100) to trigger Warning alert | |
| Error Limit % | integer | 1-100 | Set the threshold quota value in percentage (1-100) to trigger Error alert |
Queue Count Evaluation Type
There are four different types of count-based evaluations:
- None - Count-based Monitoring is disabled.
- Fixed - Evaluate the Monitoring based on the number of messages on the queue.
