Rooster Sentinel: Monitoring that crows before anything goes wrong

Overview

24/7 security monitoring with a human-friendly dashboard and an alarm that is mildly insistent at dawn and extremely insistent at 2 a.m.

Rooster Sentinel is part of our Security line, and it plays nicely with FoxBlock and Fowl Play Detector, so you can adopt it one perch at a time. Fowl play prevention for every flock, large or small.

Teams usually start with the free Chick plan, move to Hen when the flock grows past a handful, and graduate to Rooster once the security team wants audit logs. The upgrade is one click, and nobody needs to molt.

Key features

Automated pen-testing by a very aggressive goose.
One-click lockdown that rolls the metaphorical coop door shut.
Policies are written in plain language, like "no fox may enter" and compiled to rules.
Phishing detection tuned to spot the oldest trick: a fox in a hen costume.
Tamper-evident logs, sealed with a wax shell that cracks if anyone edits them.

What the flock says

★★★★☆ Penelope P. Support Manager, Roost & Relax

A few rough edges, but every one of them came with a charming error message.

★★★★☆ Clara C. IT Director, Feathered Friends Inc.

The docs are shockingly good. We tested them by handing them to an intern.

★★★★★ Maurice M. Staff Engineer, Barnyard Labs

Setup took one afternoon, and the only thing we scratched was our heads, briefly.

Frequently asked questions

How often is Rooster Sentinel updated?

Every two weeks, on a Tuesday, shortly after the rooster crows. Release notes live in the changelog.

Does Rooster Sentinel work with the rest of the Pollosoft flock?

Absolutely. Everything shares one identity (Cage-Free SSO), one billing account (BillOfLaying), and one deeply optimistic status page.

Do you offer discounts for non-profits?

We offer 50% off to non-profits, schools, and sanctuaries. Rescue hens get a free Chick plan for life.
