Sentinel

An always-on health watchdog that catches website and app problems before your customers do, and fixes the safe ones on its own. Sentinel that never sleeps.
Live build Monitoring

What it is

Sentinel is an installable monitor that scans any website or app every 30 minutes for downtime, server errors, crashes, slow pages, SSL certificate expiry, and content and file integrity. For WordPress sites it also flags out-of-date core, plugins and themes. When it finds a problem it opens an incident, alerts the owner, and for safe issues it heals itself and emails a Resolved notice.

Sentinel does not just ping the home page. It checks every page of a site, discovered from the sitemap and permalinks, so a broken product page or a failing checkout is caught the same way an outage would be. The safe fixes it runs on its own include clearing caches, opcode cache and rewrite rules, then rechecking before it closes the incident.

It is a live build on imbilladigitalagency.com with preview pages staged, a downloadable WordPress plugin, and a Python agent already shipping. imbilladigitalagency.com and Launchpad are themselves being watched by it.

What it does

Uptime and error monitoring

Checks every page on a 30-minute cycle for downtime and for server errors across the 4xx and 5xx range.

Crash and latency detection

Flags crashes and slow pages so a degraded site is caught before customers feel it.

SSL expiry watch

Tracks the certificate and warns ahead of expiry, so the padlock never lapses unnoticed.

Content and file-integrity checks

Watches for unexpected changes to content and files, catching tampering or broken deploys.

WordPress update monitoring

Flags out-of-date core, plugins and themes so security gaps are surfaced early.

AI diagnosis of incidents

Reads each incident and explains what went wrong in plain English to speed up the fix.

Tiered safe auto-heal

Resolves safe issues automatically, asks for one-click approval on the next tier, and alerts only on the rest.

Multi-channel alerts

Routes incidents and resolutions to the owner over email, with Slack, WhatsApp and SMS built in.

How it works

Sentinel uses a hybrid architecture. A lightweight agent runs on the customer's own server. Any site can use the Python agent, while WordPress sites can install a one-click plugin instead. Only the error signal leaves the customer site, never their data. The central brain and the AI diagnosis run on Imbilla's side, so the customer carries almost no overhead.

Auto-fix is tiered and never blind. Tier 0 heals safe issues automatically, tier 1 needs one-click approval before anything changes, and tier 2 is alert-only. AI diagnosis currently uses Google's Gemini free tier.

Alerts today. Email is live through Brevo. Slack is ready and needs only a webhook. WhatsApp and SMS capture is built and sending is pending a provider.

Who it is for

Business owners and agencies who cannot afford downtime, and who want a watchdog watching every page of their site around the clock rather than just the front door. Imbilla can also run Sentinel for its own clients as a managed service.
