Server monitoring

Status monitoring watches websites, APIs, network endpoints, Minecraft servers, and supported game servers.

Quick reference

Command	Purpose
/status add	Add a monitor
/status remove	Remove a monitor
/status manage	Review and manage monitors
/status check	Run an immediate check
/status setup-board	Create an updating status board
/status alert-role	Select the role for outage alerts
/status enable	Enable status polling
/status disable	Pause status polling

Add a monitor

Provide a clear name, service type, target, and—when needed—a port and checking interval.

Example HTTP monitor:

/status add name:Main website type:HTTP target:https://example.com interval:60

For game servers, choose the matching game type and provide the host. Add a port when the service does not use its default port.

HTTP targets must include http:// or https://. Supported game types include Minecraft, Counter-Strike, FiveM, Rust, Unturned, DayZ, ARMA 3, ARK, Valheim, Palworld, Squad, and Project Zomboid.

Useful monitor names include:

• Main website
• Public API
• Minecraft Survival
• FiveM Production
• Rust Community Server

Make status visible

Use /status setup-board to create a central status view in a dedicated channel. Use /status alert-role to notify administrators, moderators, or technical staff when a monitored service goes offline.

Run /status check after maintenance, an address change, or a reported outage.

Monitoring workflow

1. Add a monitor with /status add.
2. Run /status check to confirm the target responds.
3. Use /status manage to review or test monitors.
4. Create a shared status view with /status setup-board.
5. Choose the staff role for outage messages with /status alert-role.
6. Pause or resume polling with /status disable and /status enable.

Limits and naming

A server can have up to 15 status monitors. Monitor names must be unique, and the same target should not be added more than once with the same type and port.

Use names that make sense to both staff and community members:

• Main website
• Public API
• Minecraft Survival
• Production FiveM

Alert planning

Use a staff or technical role for outage alerts rather than a role that reaches every member. Keep the status board in a channel where members can check service health without interrupting normal conversation.
