Powerful Capabilities

Everything you need to detect, investigate, and respond to security threats.

Detection Engine

Powerful YAML-based rule engine with support for complex conditions, aggregation, and correlation across multiple event sources.

  • YAML rule definitions
  • Regex pattern matching
  • Field aggregation (count events over time)
  • Multi-condition logic
  • Severity classification
  • Automatic alert generation

Multi-Channel Alerting

Get notified instantly through your preferred channels when security events occur.

  • Email notifications
  • Slack integration
  • Discord webhooks
  • PagerDuty escalation
  • Custom webhook delivery
  • Alert deduplication

AI-Powered Analysis

Leverage GPT-4 to understand complex security events and get actionable recommendations.

  • Natural language explanations
  • Threat context analysis
  • Remediation suggestions
  • Pattern recognition
  • Cached insights for speed
  • Configurable prompts

Threat Intelligence

Enrich events with external threat data to identify known malicious actors.

  • GeoIP location lookup
  • AbuseIPDB reputation
  • VirusTotal integration
  • ASN information
  • Malicious IP blocking
  • Intelligent caching

Active Response

Automatically respond to threats by taking action directly on your UniFi infrastructure.

  • Client blocking/quarantine
  • VLAN reassignment
  • Access credential disable
  • Rate limiting
  • Auto-revert with timers
  • Approval workflows

Elasticsearch Storage

Scalable, searchable storage for all your security events with powerful querying capabilities.

  • Full-text search
  • Complex aggregations
  • Time-based retention
  • Index lifecycle management
  • High availability support
  • Custom dashboards

Traffic Analytics (NetFlow / IPFIX)

See exactly what your network is doing. Ingests NetFlow v5, v9, and IPFIX from UniFi gateways and aggregates flows by 5-tuple for top-talker and protocol analysis.

  • NetFlow v5, v9, and IPFIX (v10)
  • 60s tumbling-window aggregation
  • Top talkers by source, destination, or pair
  • Protocol breakdown (TCP/UDP/ICMP/etc.)
  • Sortable flow table: bytes, packets, time
  • Per-device drill-down and filtering

Network Event Viewer

Separate operational events from security events. Troubleshoot flapping ports, AP radar hits, WAN failovers, and controller provisioning without wading through IDS alerts.

  • Link up / down, port flaps, PoE state
  • AP radio: DFS radar, channel switch, CAC
  • WAN / VPN tunnel state (pppd, IPSec, OpenVPN)
  • Controller lifecycle: adopt, provision, upgrade
  • Dedicated Network Events page
  • Per-device event stream

SNMP Trap Receiver

Listen for v1 and v2c SNMP traps from UniFi switches and gateways. Well-known OIDs are mapped to human-readable names and severity levels.

  • SNMPv1 and SNMPv2c / INFORM
  • Well-known trap OID mapping (linkUp, authFailure, etc.)
  • Optional community-string filtering
  • Enterprise-specific OID pass-through
  • Full varbind capture in raw event
  • Mirrors into the Network Event feed

Structured UniFi Syslog Parsing

Instead of generic keyword matching, dedicated parsers extract the structured fields you need for hunting, correlation, and reporting.

  • iptables firewall: 5-tuple, rule name, action
  • Suricata IDS: signature ID, classification, priority
  • hostapd wireless: STA MAC, association state
  • dnsmasq DHCP: IP, MAC, hostname
  • Linux auth: SSH, PAM, login success/failure
  • Controller: device adoption, provision, upgrade

Multi-Tenant Admin Center

Run Sentinel for multiple clients from a single host. Every client gets their own isolated instance — data, rules, users, and alerts — with automated provisioning end-to-end.

  • One-click client instance provisioning
  • Automatic subdomain + DNS A record (GoDaddy API)
  • Wildcard SSL covering every instance
  • Super-admin SSO across all instances
  • Per-client resource limits and port allocation
  • Centralized rolling upgrades

Device Inventory

Auto-discovered list of every device sending events. Click a device for its full event stream, or filter by device in the Network Events view.

  • Derived from event ingestion — no config
  • Last-seen and event-count per device
  • Device name, MAC, type, site
  • Per-device event drill-down endpoint
  • 30-day default look-back (configurable)
  • Surface-area for operational troubleshooting
