UI

Overview of the local Sentinel UI: issues, traces, settings, detail pages, and keyboard-first navigation.

Start the UI

sentinel ui

The UI runs locally and reads from the same SQLite-backed Sentinel data on your machine.

Main views

  • Issues The default view for grouped fingerprints and their recent activity.
  • Traces A performance-oriented feed for HTTP, gRPC, and DB spans.
  • Settings Local persisted defaults for LLM and triage behavior.
  • Detail Drill into one issue, its occurrences, triage reports, frames, breadcrumbs, spans, and context.

What you can do in the UI

  • filter issues by project, time window, severity, status, and query
  • open an issue and inspect individual occurrences
  • move issues between new, investigating, resolved, and suppressed
  • reopen a resolved, suppressed, or regressed issue back to new
  • inspect correlated network and DB spans on event detail pages
  • browse traces by protocol, service, status class, and free-text query
  • save local settings such as base URL, model, offline mode, and dedupe window
  • use keyboard shortcuts and the command palette for fast navigation

Keyboard-first navigation

  • Ctrl+K or Cmd+K opens the command palette
  • ? opens shortcut help
  • / focuses search for the current view
  • g i, g t, g s jump to Issues, Traces, and Settings
  • j and k move between rows
  • Esc or b returns to the index view

What lives in detail view

  • issue summary and status
  • occurrence list
  • triage reports
  • status history
  • frames and stack traces
  • breadcrumbs
  • correlated Network & DB Spans
  • parsed event context and raw context
