Sentinel: Understanding Data Systems
Summary: Sentinel builds online system-execution models by intercepting standard debug-log calls, with minimal overhead. These models are compared to reveal behavioral differences, yielding concise reports that help admins locate and resolve performance issues. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
