NOTE: Scrutiny is a Work-in-Progress and still has some rough edges.
Honestly, at this point i would not recommend the usage of scrutiny, the development was almost ways really slow and the creater does not seem to have kuch interest in the project. There are still standing issues and imho important features missing.
I would look into prometheus+grafana or something of that sort.
Because you pointed 2 programs at the same directory to sync the content with an external directory structure.
In my experience adding an already existing directory structure to a sync program is a bad idea. Create the directory and then move the existing structure into it to be safe or/and at the very least have a backup.
Not having a backup is on you. You got lucky this time.
