Mule ESB Monitoring Agent

Info

Monitor your Mule ESB solutions—including the run-time environment—with the Mule ESB Monitoring Agent for Nodinite and receive instant alerts whenever a problem is detected.

Nodinite Monitoring covers both MuleSoft Anypoint (Mule 3.x and Mule 4.x) and Mule ESB community editions.

The agent empowers you to monitor key features in Mule ESB instances, such as application status. Nodinite raises an alarm if an application stops, ensuring you never miss a critical event.

You can view the current state of Resources in Monitor Views. Alerts are distributed to end-users via email, ticketing systems, and more.
Alert metrics are available in dashboards or custom Reports using Power BI or any preferred tool, thanks to our REST-based Web API.

  • Monitor flows in both Mule ESB and MuleSoft Anypoint—on-premise and in the cloud
  • Use Remote Actions on select resources, eliminating the need for MMC or remote desktop connections
  • Monitor any number of Mule ESB instances from a single agent
  • Deploy multiple agents across multiple servers with Mule ESB instances
  • Monitor servers locally, in the cloud, or even off-site (partner/customer locations)
  • Enjoy low overhead with a least-privileges policy
  • Leverage powerful reporting capabilities

Documentation support is provided by the Repository Model model.
