XperienceCommunity.Sentinel 0.4.5-alpha

XperienceCommunity.Sentinel

Sentinel for Xperience by Kentico CLI — one-shot health scans for Xperience by Kentico projects. dotnet tool install, same check suite as the embedded NuGet.

The CLI form of Sentinel for Xperience by Kentico. Use it from a developer workstation or a CI step — no install into your XbyK site required.

What it does in a single command:

• Runs the full Sentinel check suite — config smells, middleware-order bugs, outdated NuGet packages, unused content types, orphaned content items, stale content, broken assets, malformed Page Builder widgets, recent EventLog errors
• Emits a self-contained HTML report (sentinel-report/report.html) — Refined Element-branded, no external CSS/JS
• Emits a JSON report (sentinel-report/report.json) — stable schema, CI-friendly
• Optionally POSTs a sanitized summary to Refined Element via sentinel quote for a fixed-price remediation quote
• Can shallow-clone a GitHub repo directly (--repo owner/repo) — no local checkout needed

Install

# Prerelease until v1.0 — use --prerelease or an explicit version.
dotnet tool install -g XperienceCommunity.Sentinel --prerelease

Update:

dotnet tool update -g XperienceCommunity.Sentinel --prerelease

Use it

# Static code checks only (works against XbyK 29+)
sentinel scan --path ./MyXperienceSite

# Full scan (code + runtime content checks — requires an XbyK database)
sentinel scan --path ./MyXperienceSite --connection-string "Server=...;Database=..."

# Scan a GitHub repo directly (shallow-cloned to a temp dir, cleaned up after)
sentinel scan --repo owner/your-xbyk-site

# Email the sanitized report to Refined Element for a one-time remediation quote
sentinel quote --report ./sentinel-report/report.json

Supported versions

Embed instead of CLI?

If you want Sentinel to run on Kentico's scheduler, persist findings to custom tables, mirror summaries to CMS_EventLog, and optionally surface an admin UI — reach for the embedded packages:

• XperienceCommunity.Sentinel.Module — headless integration
• XperienceCommunity.Sentinel.Admin — admin UI module
