Install Sentinel Free Complete — all 150 tools $29/mo

A non-profit with no DevOps budget downloads the Sentinel binary, sets two environment variables, and runs it on the same Linux box that handles their email. It has been running for three months without intervention. When they need to update, they download the new binary and restart the process.

Why this exists

The moment you store alerts in someone else's cloud, you have accepted their terms, their pricing changes, and their uptime. Sentinel puts that decision back in your hands with a standalone binary that runs anywhere you can run a Linux process.

Endpoints
Under the hood

Point curl at /api/alerts to interact with Sentinel programmatically. The API follows predictable REST conventions: GET to list or fetch, POST to create, PUT to update, DELETE to remove. The response schema matches the internal data model exactly, so what you see in the dashboard is what the API returns.
