Sentinel, an Exputo product
Know about Moodle problems before your users do
Sentinel is our monitoring service for Moodle. It checks your site continuously, from the outside and the inside, and tells you the moment something needs attention.
Sentinel has its own site at mdlsentinel.com.
What Sentinel watches
Email alerts the moment a status changes, and a weekly digest of everything else.
Uptime and speed
Your site is checked every 5 minutes from the outside, with response times tracked over time.
Security releases
Know when a Moodle security release applies to your site, and how far behind you are.
Certificates
A warning before your TLS certificate expires, not after learners see the error.
Cron
An alert when scheduled tasks stop running, before emails, grades, and reports quietly stall.
Backups
Whether your backups are actually completing, checked for you.
End-of-life software
PHP, database, and operating system versions checked against their end-of-life dates.
Core code changes
Changes to core Moodle code are flagged, whether a risky customization or something that should not be there.
Configuration drift
See which settings differ from Moodle's defaults, so nothing changes without you knowing.
Users and site health
Active user counts and overall site health, on one page.
Setup and privacy
Five minutes to set up. Nothing sensitive leaves your site.
Install the free plugin, connect your site, and monitoring starts. No server agents and no firewall changes. Sentinel collects operational data only, never course content, grades, or learner profiles.
