Install or upgrade Sentinel safely
Where: Admin → Add-ons → Upload/upgrade
Steps
- Back up the board database and files and retain the exact current package.
- Upload the native Sentinel ZIP (addon.json at its root), review and complete installation/upgrade. Do not use the core updater or extract over core files.
- Enable with the native valid licence workflow.
- Open Sentinel protection settings, keep Monitor, and open its dashboard.
- Check Diagnostics for observed request-hook activity, then make a controlled ordinary public request and review events/counters.
- Set up the existing addon scheduler with the exact board command in Panelica. Keep Redis primary off until installed-service checks pass.
Check the result
The dashboard distinguishes Off, Recovery bypass, waiting for the hook, Monitor and Enforce. A heartbeat shows hook observation, not full integration correctness.
If it does not work
If the package is unavailable without a valid licence, obtain an authorised key/package. Do not edit licensing or request hooks to force it active.
