SENTINL is a Kibana plugin that adds alerting and reporting to Elasticsearch, letting users create scheduled watchers that run queries, apply programmable validators, and trigger configurable notification actions. It also produces timed PNG/PDF snapshots of Kibana dashboards (or any website) and delivers them as email attachments, with alert history viewable in Kibana charts and annotations.

Use cases

• send alerts when elasticsearch query results change
• free alternative to elastic watcher for kibana
• schedule pdf snapshots of kibana dashboards
• monitor elasticsearch timeseries and get email notifications
• set up anomaly alerts on kibana data
• generate scheduled reports from elk dashboards
• track alert and report history in kibana visualizations

When to choose

• you run Kibana 6.x or Siren Investigate and need alerting without a paid Elastic license
• you want free, independent Watcher-style monitors with custom actions on Elasticsearch data
• you need scheduled PNG/PDF reports of dashboards emailed automatically
• you want alert events annotated and charted directly inside Kibana

When to avoid

• you use Kibana 7.x/8.x, since SENTINL targets the 6.x line and Siren bundles its own version
• you already have a commercial Elastic subscription with native Alerting/Watcher
• you need a project with an active maintainer community, as SENTINL is publicly seeking new maintainers
