Game Server Status

Check and monitor game servers for 40+ supported titles directly from Discord.

Game Server Status in the ArkenBot dashboard

Setup​

Install the Game Server Status addon from the Addon Manager. No additional configuration is required to start querying servers by address.

Commands​

/server status​

Check any game server by IP address.

OptionRequiredDescription
addressYesServer IP or hostname
gameNoGame type (start typing to search with autocomplete)
portNoPort number (uses game default if omitted)

/server add​

Save a server to the guild for quick lookups. Requires Manage Server permission.

OptionRequiredDescription
nameYesFriendly name for the server
addressYesServer IP or hostname
gameNoGame type
portNoCustom port

/server check​

Check a saved server by its friendly name.

OptionRequiredDescription
nameYesSaved server name (autocomplete supported)

/server checkall​

Query all saved servers at once and show a status summary table.

/server list​

List all saved game servers for the guild.

/server remove​

Remove a saved server. Requires Manage Server permission.

OptionRequiredDescription
nameYesName of the saved server to remove

Live Monitoring​

Keep an always-on view of your servers in Discord. All monitoring commands require the Manage Server permission, and a single background poll (every ~3 minutes) drives all of them at once.

/server board​

Post a live status board — an embed that auto-updates in place with each saved server's status, player count, map, and ping.

OptionRequiredDescription
channelYesText channel for the board

/server alerts​

Get a message whenever a saved server goes down or comes back online.

OptionRequiredDescription
channelYesText channel for up/down alerts

/server statchannel​

Show the total online player count across all saved servers in a voice channel's name (e.g. 🎮 24 playing), updated automatically (rate-limit aware).

OptionRequiredDescription
channelYesVoice channel to rename

/server graph​

Show a player-count history graph (a sparkline) for a saved server, with current, peak, and average. History is recorded automatically once a server is saved.

OptionRequiredDescription
nameYesSaved server name (autocomplete supported)

/server monitoroff​

Turn off the status board, alerts, and stat channel.

The board first appears on the next poll cycle (within a few minutes), then updates itself in place. Player counts feed both the board and /server graph, so history builds up in the background.

Dashboard​

The Game Servers page in the dashboard (under Content & Tools) shows your saved servers with a live player-count sparkline, plus where the board, alerts, and stat channel are posted.

Supported Games​

The addon supports 40+ game types including Minecraft, Rust, Valheim, ARK, CS2, Arma 3, FiveM, Palworld, 7 Days to Die, and many more. Start typing in the game option to search with autocomplete.

Palworld​

Palworld is a special case: its dedicated servers expose no anonymous query protocol, so status is read through Palworld's official REST API, which requires the server's admin password.

On the server, set these in PalWorldSettings.ini and restart:

RESTAPIEnabled=True
RESTAPIPort=8212
AdminPassword="your-admin-password"

Then add it with /server add and choose Palworld. A private popup asks for the admin password (it is never shown in the channel and is stored encrypted). Use the server's game address — the REST port defaults to 8212.

The REST port must be reachable from the bot. If checks time out, confirm the port is open to the bot and that the server was restarted after enabling the REST API.
