Sentinel provides scalability for data processing of flows and streaming telemetry received by one or more Minions. It also supports thresholding for streaming telemetry if you are using OpenNMS Newts. If you need to scale processing capacity for flow and/or streaming telemetry, you need Sentinel.

As your flow and streaming telemetry volumes increase, additional Sentinel instances can be deployed to meet your processing needs.

In most cases, you can disable adapters and listeners in Meridian that are also run by a Sentinel instance.

This section describes how to install Sentinel components.
