📚 The Power of the Nodinite Repository Model

Integration Landscape
Here's an example of the Integration Landscape that you can sculpt by hand or use automation and the Web API or even better, you wrote the system integration solutions and know all the nitty-gritty details, why don't you pass that data (Context Options) along together with the Log Events?!

Turn Your System Integration Documentation into a Live Asset

🔎 Do you even know how many system integration solutions you have?

With the Nodinite Repository Model, Users gain real-time visibility and control over entire the entire Integration Landscape. Unlike static documentation (Word, Visio, Excel), the Nodinite Repository Model is an active, CMDB-inspired database that keeps your integration portfolio up to date.

📌 Key Benefits:
✅ Instant Access to Integration Data – Know where your integrations are deployed, their SLA levels, system owners, and more
✅ Embedded in Alerts – Automatically include Custom Metadata in notifications for faster troubleshooting
✅ Seamless Incident Management – Webhook-based automation enables instant updates to your ITSM or monitoring system
✅ Unlimited Data at No Extra Cost – Create and share unlimited repository entries without additional licenses
✅ Full Automation Support – Utilize the Nodinite Web API to auto-populate data and integrate with external systems

What is the Repository Model?

The Nodinite Repository Model provides an organized, structured way to document system integrations using Custom Metadata. This means you can dynamically track and categorize your integrations based on:

  • Deployment environments (Prod, Test, Dev)
  • SLA levels (Gold, Silver, Bronze)
  • Technology stacks (BizTalk, Mule, Logic Apps, Kafka, etc.)
  • Owners and responsible persons (John Doe, Jane Doe, etc.)
  • Business systems involved (ERP, HR, MES, CRM, etc.)
  • And any other attributes you define!

The graphical representation that we call Integration Landscape is based on the relationship between the different Nodinite repository artifacts

Visualizing Your Integration Landscape

📌 The Repository Model allows you to:

  • Create a visual integration landscape using interactive dashboards
  • Structure data with a graphical model and tabular formats
  • Automatically include metadata in alerts and monitoring events
  • Integrate seamlessly with incident management tools via webhooks

💡 If everyone contributes to the Repository, the entire organization benefits. No more lost documentation—get instant insights when and where you need them!

Supercharge Your Incident Management Process

⏳ Every second counts when an incident occurs.
With Nodinite’s Repository Model, all critical metadata is automatically embedded in alerts. When an integration fails, your team instantly gets essential details such as:

🔹 Affected system(s)
🔹 Responsible team or owner
🔹 Service level agreements (SLAs)
🔹 Integration type and dependencies

  • 🛠 Automate Incident Handling:
    • Webhooks enable direct integration with your ITSM system (ServiceNow, Jira, etc.)
    • Reduce manual lookups – all required information is instantly available
    • Accelerate resolution times by eliminating delays caused by missing documentation

🚀 This automation reduces downtime, improves efficiency, and ensures a smooth troubleshooting process.

One Click Away: Repository Data Everywhere

📂 Access repository data instantly within:
✅ Log Views – Use repository data as search filters to quickly find relevant logs
✅ Monitor Views – View and analyze integrations directly in the monitoring dashboard
✅ Alerts & Notifications – Receive enriched incident notifications with complete context using any of the Nodinite Alarm Plugins

📊 Beyond Documentation – A Foundation for Reports & Insights
