Sentinel

DEVLOG_11: Ok, so this is probably the last devlog before my second and potentially final ship of Sentinel. I pushed myself today to fix all the remaining bugs and to add a few more important feature. I am tired working on Sentinel now so I’m now gonna take break from this project and move to a new one :] Here is everything updated:

Bug fixes:

1. Any additional storage devices connected to the server other than the primary one was not getting detected.
2. Ask sentinel chat was getting randomly freezed with no way of knowing what exactly is wrong (now it shows proper error msg).

New features:

1. Added options to stop and restart docker containers via sentinel itself.
2. Recordings now also records the Disk Growth during the recording time period.
3. Auto Remediation setting now lists all the important services running on the vps automatically to choose from.

DEVLOG_10: The deployments page now allows you to pull any new git pushes using Sentinel itself and you can also see logs for each deployment.

I have also added some new info to the networks page like individual data of all the different network interfaces your vps is connected to like LAN or WIFI.
It now also shows the number of SSH connections live at the moment :]

DEVLOG_9: In this update I have added restart and start/stop buttons to the services which are identified and listed in the Sentinel’s Services page. So now you can use Sentinel to also stop or restart all the services running on your server like caddy, docker etc.

Also now Ask Sentinel chat remembers the chat context, so you can ask follow up questions and the AI will know where we left the chat :]

DEVLOG_8: Ok now I have also added a setting to manually set allowed paths in which Sentinel can look into and see files in order to give you more personalized responses in Ask Sentinel chat bot, any folder path not selected here won’t be accessed by Sentinel.

Also I have added support for Slack Webhook and also any other generic Webhook. Previously it only supported Discord Webhook for notifications. :]

DEVLOG_7: In the activity page previously it was showing all the activities infinitely. I have now added a limit of top 50 activities anything above that will automatically be deleted.

Also fixed the bug in the recordings page in which downloading the data as csv file was not working properly and all of the recorded data was not getting captured in the file :]

DEVLOG_6: Now the auto incident detection also keeps track of the previous ways of fixing the problem. So now if the same problem arises again instead of again consuming AI tokens, it will try using the previously used method to solve it :]

DEVLOG_5: Fixed a few errors in the Sentinel Health page, now it properly shows the number of tokens used by all the AI APIs added.

also in the settings page now you can rearrange the usage priority of different AI models you have added :]

DEVLOG_4: Added Ask Sentinel and Incident tracking feature. along with a lot of other micro features. The way Incident tracking works is quite smart:
the backend services (very lightweight) actively searches for any kind of error affecting the VPS. It then loges an incident and sends me a msg via discord webhook. I can approve the incident and then Sentinel will collect information like what as the problem the possible areas affected and stuff like that and after the report is compiled it is sent to the AI model of your choice which then generates an AI diagnosis and a list of process to fix the problem.

DEVLOG_3: Added this specific hardware stats page where the real time data related to the CPU and Memory is displayed.

DEVLOG_2: Initially Sentinel was just a view only dashboard to see some stats of my VPS, but now I am working on a AI chat system as well called “Ask Sentinel”

DEVLOG_1: I recently made a home server using my 7 year old laptop!! And now I am planning to develop an AI assisted dashboard for it which will help me manage my server remotely. Any suggestions will be appreciated :]
