    If Nodinite can't check your Subscription items' state, chances are no one else can use them either.

  • The configured Subscriptions are monitored
  • Category-based monitoring - The monitored Resources groups by the Nodinite concept of Categories.
  • Share access to individual items from within Nodinite using one or more role-based Monitor Views.

State evaluation for Azure Subscription

The Subscriptions to monitor manifests within Nodinite as one or more Resources. For example, if you have three Subscriptions, you will have three Resources in Nodinite.

  • The Nodinite Resources name is the same as Subscription from within the Azure portal.
  • Monitored Subscriptions belong to the 'Azure Subscription' Category:

Many other Azure related Categories exists as well. Review the Azure Monitoring Overview user guide.

Each item (presented in Nodinite as a Resource) evaluates with a state (i.e. OK, Warning, Error, Unavailable).

You can override the evaluation process by configuring the Expected State option available for all Nodinite Resources.
