CASE STUDY
Gain control of sent orders, insight on on-premise database health, files processed on the FTP/SFTP/File share, API health and a lot more…
Background
This customer is a well-known Swedish clothing retailer with stores across the country. A couple of years back they decided to set up their own IT infrastructure as part of restructuring efforts. The chosen integration platform was Microsoft Azure and a new D365 tenant was required.
Challenges
Integrations built covered multiple transport types, internal and external 3rd party systems. Questions that needed to be addressed included:
- How to monitor the breadth of the new integration platform in a good way with full configurability of information distribution?
- Can the required information regarding data flow reach the correct business owner and/or the support personnel easily?
- The monitoring solution also needed to be able to grow and be maintainable when additional integrations were added. New types of alerts also needed to be included in a standard way.
Results
Successful monitoring and superusers managing some notifications
By using Nodinite, the clothing retailer could monitor all exceptions or abnormal behaviour, then notify or alert the relevant party. Most of the notifications are sent to the maintenance system; however, some are directed to superusers to handle themselves. The notifications from Nodinite are fully configurable using metadata and include dynamic links where further details of the incident can be attained within Nodinite or within an external system.
Tuning
Nodinite has given the clothing retailer the visibility of processes and their data flow which has allowed them to further tune their processes and automation to both eliminate recurring issues or repetitive manual tasks.
Added Value (Building a Data Fabric)
General data flow queries or exception investigation is aided with the integration query library built up in Nodinite in the form of “Log Views”. The library of Log Views has grown from simple requests for information by users to the result of the outcome of fault analysis during an exception investigation.
