-ADSentinel is an Active Directory monitoring dashboard focused on health checks, replication status, and alerting. It provides a web-based view into domain controller state and includes mock/test collectors for environments where live DC connectivity isn’t available.
+ADSentinel is an enterprise-grade, ops-precise platform built for VIDE and SMB operations. Run it solo. Deliver results.
 
-Targets Windows-based AD environments with PowerShell collectors, and renders a responsive HTML dashboard.
+- **DC health monitoring**: domain controller status and replication checks.
+- **Alerting**: notifications via collector logic.
+- **Mock/test mode**: uses `mock_dc_status.json` for offline development.
+- **Responsive dashboard**: public and private (admin) views.
+- **Lightweight**: Flask + SQLite-style JSON state, easy to self-host.
