GameSentry continuously monitors your servers using a combination of Steam Query protocol (A2S) and RCON. This provides comprehensive real-time data about your server's state.
What's Monitored
- Server online/offline status
- Current and max player count
- Current map name
- Server name and description
- Player list with connection times
- Server FPS and performance (when available)
- Chat messages and server logs
Server Metrics
The Server Metrics page shows historical data about your server including player population over time and performance trends. Data retention depends on your subscription tier.
Crash Detection
GameSentry detects when a server goes offline unexpectedly and can notify you via in-app notifications and webhooks. The system distinguishes between planned restarts and unexpected crashes based on the server's prior state.
Set up webhook notifications to get instant alerts when your server crashes. You can integrate with Discord, Slack, or any custom endpoint.
