Administration Overview

Easily manage every aspect of your Nodinite environment from a single, intuitive dashboard. The Administration Overview enables integration experts and administrators to control logs, monitors, repositories, architecture diagrams, access, customization, settings, and tools—empowering business users with self-service capabilities while maintaining enterprise-grade security.

What makes Nodinite Administration powerful

• ✅ Self-service empowerment - Configure role-based access so business users monitor and troubleshoot independently
• ✅ Unified logging & monitoring - Manage both operational monitoring (Monitor Views) and business visualization (BPM) from one platform
• ✅ End-to-end visibility - Connect Logging → Monitoring → Repository → BPM for complete integration intelligence
• ✅ Granular security - Control access down to individual Log Views, Monitor Views, C4 Diagram Sets, and the Repository Model
• ✅ Automated operations - Enable auto-healing, remote actions, and proactive alerting without IT intervention

On this page, you will learn about the elements on screen and how to navigate the Administration sidebar menu in the Nodinite Web Client. Business users who don't administer Nodinite start with Getting Started - Administration instead.

Why Nodinite doesn't delete your records

Nodinite almost never forgets anything—a delete operation is rarely a hard delete! Deleted records are flagged, not removed, and can be restored by an Administrator. This ensures auditability, long-term statistics, and peace of mind if mistakes happen. Learn more: Manage deleted records in the Web Client

• You must be a member of the built-in Administrator Role to access this page.

The Administration Overview contains nine panels with links to the entities to manage.

The Nodinite Administration Overview, the "Configure Nodinite" page; each card lists the entities you manage there and matches a section below.

Understanding the Administration areas

Blue: the areas business users consume (logging, monitoring, documentation, architecture diagrams). Pink: Access Management, which grants Roles access to them. Teal: CMDB Attributes, Customize, and Settings, which support the others. Orange: Tools for operating and auditing the installation.

Log Management

Enable self-service access to logged events and business data

• Log Views – Role-based access to log events with Search Fields for business users
• Search Fields – Extract business data (Order IDs, Customer Numbers) for searchability and BPM correlation
• Log Agents – Collect events from any platform (BizTalk, Azure, MuleSoft, custom APIs), with Log Status Codes

Tip

Configure Message Types and Search Fields to enable business process tracking and end-to-end correlation in BPM. End users learn to search in Working with Log Views.

Monitor Management

Empower business users with operational monitoring and self-service troubleshooting

• Monitor Views – Self-service monitoring with remote actions and automated alerts
• Monitoring Agents – Collect health data from on-premise, hybrid, and cloud resources
• Resources – Monitored components that bridge operational monitoring and BPM business views
• Categories – Group Resources by type (queues, services, APIs)
• Applications – Group Resources by business system for end-to-end monitoring

Tip

Tie Resources to Services in the Repository Model, then place Services in BPM steps for business context with operational monitoring.

Repository Management

Document your integration landscape and enable business process visualization

• Integrations – Document complete integration workflows
• Systems – Catalog external systems and applications
• Services – Bridge between operational Resources and business BPM processes
• Contracts – Define integration contracts and interfaces
• Message Types – Critical for Search Field extraction and BPM correlation
• Endpoints – Document integration endpoints
• Business Process Model^{New 7.x} – Visualize processes with real-time operational status from Resources
• Domains^{New 7.x} – Organize BPM swimlanes by team or organizational unit
• Maps – Saved Mapify views (Mapify Maps) of your integration landscape

Tip

Combine logged events (Log Views), operational monitoring (Monitor Views via Resources), and integration documentation in visual business process flows, C4 Diagrams and Mapify.

Mapify

Manage architecture diagrams and C4 component types

• C4 Diagram Sets – Govern sets of C4 Diagrams with suggestion workflows and drift detection; Roles get access through the Permission Set for C4 Diagram Sets
• C4 Diagrams – Architecture diagrams built from the Repository Model
• Component Types – The icons and types that C4 Diagrams and Mapify use for Repository entities

CMDB Attributes

Enhance your integration documentation with knowledge management

• Articles – Create knowledge base articles with operator instructions, troubleshooting guides, and runbooks
• Custom Fields – Add custom metadata fields to Repository Model entities for your organization's needs
• Custom Metadata – Extend entity information with additional attributes for reporting and categorization
• Images – The image library for Repository documentation
• Files – The file library for Repository documentation

Access Management

Secure your environment with granular, role-based access control

• Roles – Define permission sets for business users, developers, and administrators, including the Permission Set for Log Views, Permission Set for Monitor Views, Permission Set for the Repository Model, and Permission Set for C4 Diagram Sets
• Users – Manage user accounts and assign roles with appropriate access levels
• Windows AD Groups – Integrate with Active Directory for enterprise authentication and group-based permissions
• Claims – Key/value pairs from the OIDC/OAuth 2.0 identity provider token, such as Microsoft Entra ID App Roles
• Policies – Group Claims together and assign them to Roles

Customize

• Display Field Configurations – Manage the name and order of columns used within Log Views
• Stylesheets – Manage Stylesheets used within Log Views
• Time Intervals – Manage time units used within Time Interval Configurations and Recurrence for alerts
• Time Interval Configurations – Manage the set of time units used as restrictions within Log Views
• Tags – Organize Log Views, Monitor Views, and other entities

C4 Diagram Sets aren't under Customize. Their list lives under Repository → Diagram Sets; the C4 Diagram Sets link on the Mapify card opens it too.

Settings

The Settings menu provides quick access to managing essential parts of Nodinite

• Alarm Plugins – Manage the plugins for Alerts
• Alarm Queue^{New 7.x} – Manage the Alarm Queue Entries
• External Instances – Manage connectivity to other instances of Nodinite, the targets for Export (disabled in Nodinite 7.0)
• Log Databases – Manage Log Databases
• System Parameters – Global settings such as retention, Log View data protection, and Resend/Repair
• Manage License – View and update your Nodinite license
• Download and Update Agents – Check agent versions and download installers for remote deployment

Tools

The Tools menu provides administrators with powerful features for monitoring, auditing, and managing your Nodinite environment:

• Nodinite - Overview – Get real-time Run-time information, version details, and system health for your Nodinite instance
• Log Audits – Track what users and services are doing with your data for security, compliance, and troubleshooting
• User Notifications – Inform end-users about upcoming events, planned maintenance, and system announcements
• Show deleted records – View and restore deleted entities

Note

Import / Export, for moving configuration between instances (Dev → Test → Prod), is disabled in Nodinite 7.x and isn't on the Tools card. Use the Web API to move configuration from Test to Production for now.

Next Steps

Enable self-service for your business users
