Homelab AI Sentinel: Self-Hosted Monitoring Assistant with LLM Integration
What It Does
Homelab AI Sentinel takes monitoring webhooks and runs them through an LLM to generate a plain-English diagnosis that includes what happened, what likely caused it, and what to check first.
Key Features
- AI Integration: The AI integration is contained in a single file. Swap the provider by changing one file while leaving the rest of the stack untouched.
- Default LLM: Ships with Gemini 2.5 Flash by default.
- Local Inference Support: Ollama and LM Studio work out of the box for fully local inference with nothing leaving your network.
- Alert Sources: Supports 11 alert sources including Uptime Kuma, Grafana, Prometheus, Zabbix, and Docker Events.
- Notification Platforms: Supports 10 notification platforms including Discord, Slack, Telegram, WhatsApp, Signal, and Ntfy.
- API Compatibility: Works with any OpenAI-compatible endpoint — if it speaks the API, it works.
Setup
Deployment is via docker compose up. The tool is available on GitHub.
