What is Seagull?
Seagull is an open security operations platform evolving toward SIEM/XDR use cases. It brings endpoint observations into a durable event backbone, evaluates security rules, and preserves the resulting evidence separately from the work an operator performs on it.
V2 is a re-architecture with independently built components. It is under active development: a working backend does not imply a finished endpoint product or a deployed user interface.
What you can do today
Run the backend development stack; submit authenticated test telemetry; hunt events and detections; publish and activate rulesets; manage alerts and incidents; register agents and issue certificates; project inventory; and ingest distribution vulnerability advisories. The agent executable currently provides local runtime, configuration, identity, and key foundations. It does not yet collect or upload observations. The V2 frontend repository is a placeholder.

Read status precisely
Implemented means present in the reviewed source, with the stated boundaries. It is not a production certification. In progress means some parts exist and others remain. Planned identifies a documented requirement with no completed implementation. Target architecture describes the intended relationship between those parts. Experimental identifies a deliberately limited interface or workflow. Deprecated is reserved for explicitly superseded behavior.
Each guide links to evidence. Generated references are pinned snapshots; see the review baseline before comparing them with a newer checkout.
