Don't let your business down! Get alerts for ageing secrets in App Registrations and gain access to details without the Azure portal.
This page provides documentation about App Registration Monitoring options using Nodinite from one or more role-based Monitor Views. Nodinite monitors the age of App Registrations. You can manage the monitoring thresholds for the App Registration; Remote commands are available as Actions to help you swiftly address reported problems. The Remote Actions are detailed on the Managing App Registration page.
