Managing Workspaces in Sentinel
Workspaces are provided as a way for you to logically group monitors into a hierarchy that makes sense for your site. Workspaces are described only by a name and description, and you can create as many as you need for your site.
Sentinel Folders
Folders provide further organisation in the Sentinel Workspace panel.
Case Management from Sentinel
Sentinel has configuration options for raising cases for certain events, under specific conditions.
Actions
When an event is raised, Sentinel triggers the configured action (or actions) which can be an event notification, or a call to a web service URL.
Sentinel States
Every item that is monitored in Sentinel is in a certain state, at any point whilst the monitor is running. As a new input is evaluated, its state can change.
Sentinel Tests
A Sentinel test evaluates source data using a defined process, and raises events when the state changes. The states resulting from a test can trigger specified actions.
Sentinel Processes
The process is the component that does the "work" specified by the monitor to analyse the data required to raise events.
Sentinel Monitors
All the work in Sentinel revolves around monitors. Monitors watch over entities for compliance with specified limits or conditions. When limits are exceeded, or conditions change, Sentinel raises an event and performs actions.
