// What It Does
Invictus Sentinel monitors configured services using signals such as log freshness, HTTP health and port availability. When a check fails, the configured policy can trigger an alert or a recovery action.
Restarting a process is one recovery option, not proof that the underlying fault is resolved. Incident records and generated root-cause hypotheses help the operator investigate what happened and decide what needs a durable fix.
Coverage depends on the enabled monitors and their checks. The system cannot detect every failure or guarantee recovery before a person notices. The engineering value is a repeatable detection-and-response loop with evidence for follow-up.
// Architecture
- 01 →Health checks
- 02 →Failure detection
- 03 →Recovery action
- 04 ✓Incident record
Configured checks detect service failures and invoke recovery actions where enabled. Incident records support investigation; detection and recovery are not guaranteed for every failure.
