The Sentinel module makes it easy to navigate and manage watchdog entries. It also provides alerting and archiving features.

Sentinel has the following key features:
- Group watchdog entries by type to provide an overview of a sites watchdog entries.
- Alert feature where certain watchdog events will trigger an e-mail to the administrator. This allows important watchdog events to be sent to a chosen e-mail address.
- Archival of existing watchdog entries on cron based on user specified filters - remove unimportant entries and save space in the Watchdog table for important entries.
- Ajax used to enhance usability for navigation of watchdog entries


Installation
------------
1) Copy the sentinel folder to the sites/all/modules folder in your installation.
2) Enable the module using Administer -> Modules (/admin/build/modules)


Configuration
-------------
The configuration for Sentinel can be found under Administration -> Reports -> Sentinel log entries.

There are four tabs available:
1. Watchdog Overview
This provides an alternate way of looking at your log entries. All entries are grouped by type.

2. Alert settings
Create filters to be notified when certain watchdog events happen. This isn't a substitute for checking the watchdog entries occasionally but can be useful for quicker notification of important errors.

3. Cron settings
Use this with care. The primary function of this section is to remove unwanted watchdog entries whilst still keeping a one line summary of items deleted. This can help to keep your watchdog entry lean and mean. It may be worthwhile backing up your watchdog table before experimenting with this functionality.

4. General settings
Other configuration options related to the module.
