AMP Watchdog
WIPKnows when your game servers die — and pings you before your players do.
#game-servers#monitoring#discord#self-hosted
AMP Watchdog keeps a watchlist of your CubeCoders AMP game-server instances and tells you the moment one changes state — online, sleeping, or down.
- Asks AMP itself, so it knows the difference between sleeping (wake-on-connect) and actually offline — the thing outside pings can’t see
- Per-server alert rules: which transitions matter, re-alerts while down, quiet hours
- @-pings you only when a server goes down; sleep cycles and recoveries stay quiet
- Pluggable alert channels — Discord today, more as single-file plugins
Built because my community’s game servers kept dying politely, in silence, while everyone assumed someone else had noticed.

Sleeping isn’t always healthy
AMP Watchdog now checks whether Minecraft servers actually answer—even when AMP says they’re sleeping.
