Websites and applications
After the update, Sentinel checks your website. Not you.
Before and after every update and reboot, Sentinel opens the configured pages in its own browser and signs in where that is set up. It checks the status and the expected text and compares the image with the one from before.
- Red means roll back.If something no longer runs as before after an update, Sentinel rolls back, checks again and reports after how many seconds the site was running again.
- After reboots, too.Sentinel waits until services and sites are up, and notifies you if one is not running again afterwards.
- The AI takes a look, too.On request, the AI looks at the screenshot and notes what is wrong.
| Check | before | after |
|---|---|---|
| Page responds | ok | ok |
| Text “Add to cart” | ok | missing |
| Sign-in | ok | ok |
| Image as before | ok | different |
AI“The ‘Add to cart’ button is missing on the product page.”

Compared with built-in tools
Installing updates is only the beginning. Sentinel checks whether what ran before still runs afterwards.
| Feature | unattended-upgrades + fail2ban | Sentinel |
|---|---|---|
| Install security updates automatically | yes | yes |
| Temporarily block repeated SSH sign-in attempts | yes | yes |
| Check the system before and after updates and roll back on errors | no | yes |
| Assess actively exploited vulnerabilities per server | no | yes |
| Detect changes to accounts, keys, scheduled jobs, services and ports, preserve evidence | no | yes |
| Find AI services, agents and stray model keys on the server, plant decoys | no | yes |
| Have serious incidents assessed by an AI that cannot execute anything | no | yes |
| Safeguard reboots with a system image or an approval | no | yes |
| Monitor all servers centrally | no | yes |
| Daily morning report and checksum-chained audit log | no | yes |
fail2ban also protects web and mail sign-ins; Sentinel does not cover that area. The two run side by side.

What works today and what does not
Sentinel currently creates snapshots of the whole machine only on Hetzner Cloud; other providers on request.
Sentinel recognizes Btrfs and ZFS, but does not create snapshots there yet.
Sentinel only monitors Rocky Linux, AlmaLinux and RHEL; it does not monitor Windows at all.
The application
67 actions, one screen.
Every action is predefined and vetted; nothing is typed. You see what is running at the very moment it runs, every step with its result.
Pilot program until 30 November 2026
All of it, six months free of charge.
For up to five of your servers on the Maintain plan, without payment details. Sentinel starts in read-only mode and only acts once you enable the server.
