Could you build this?

Partial While basic watchdog dashboards or healthcheck alerts can be vibe-coded, an enterprise-grade sentinel tool for intrusion detection or distributed fault tolerance requires specialized systems engineering.

What it would actually take: A production sentinel requires a low-overhead systems agent (built in Go or Rust, often utilizing eBPF for kernel-level telemetry) feeding a high-throughput time-series event pipeline. The core difficulty is achieving non-intrusive, zero-overhead observability and robust anomaly detection without impacting host performance or causing false failovers under heavy production loads.
