Ark Server Monitoring — Survival Ascended & Evolved Uptime Tracking
If you run an Ark: Survival Ascended (ASA) or Ark: Survival Evolved (ASE) server, you know how much time and effort goes into hosting. Players tame dinosaurs, grind resources, build bases, and plan raids. And then suddenly — the server goes offline. Progress is lost, players disconnect, and frustration grows fast.
Automated Ark server monitoring with UptyBots helps you avoid this situation. Your server is checked 24/7, and you get instant alerts when something breaks — before players start complaining in Discord or chat.
Why Ark Servers Need Reliable Uptime Monitoring
Ark is one of the most resource-intensive survival games. It consumes a lot of RAM, CPU, disk I/O, and network bandwidth. Crashes and freezes happen even on strong machines and professional hosting. Without monitoring, you usually only find out about downtime when players are already angry or your server disappears from the server list.
Monitoring lets you:
- know immediately when the server stops responding
- detect port or firewall problems
- see when RCON stops working
- identify mod conflicts after updates
- track downtime history and patterns
Common Reasons Ark Servers Go Offline
Both Ark Survival Ascended and Evolved share similar failure scenarios:
- server process crash due to memory leaks
- map corruption after update or restart
- mod or plugin conflicts
- timeout on server query ports
- RCON stopped responding
- hosting provider network outage
- DDoS attacks targeting popular clusters
Some issues cause full downtime, while others result in “partial downtime” — when the server is technically online but players cannot connect or experience severe lag. Monitoring helps detect both.
What You Can Monitor on Ark Servers
With UptyBots, you can track multiple aspects of your Ark server’s availability:
- main game port (query availability)
- RCON port and admin connection
- web control panel accessibility
- cluster connection status
- API endpoints for shop or donation systems
- landing website or community portal uptime
This is especially useful for clustered Ark servers where several maps are linked together and downtime on a single instance can break transfers or gameplay.
Monitoring Mod and Plugin Failures
Ark communities rely heavily on mods, especially in Survival Ascended. Popular features include:
- quality-of-life enhancements
- dinosaur balance changes
- new structures and items
- map extensions and biome content
- admin tools and economy systems
After patches or Steam updates, mods may fail, causing crashes or broken gameplay systems. Using targeted checks and port monitoring, UptyBots helps detect when a failure happens even before full crash occurs.
Notification Channels for Admin Teams
When something breaks, fast response is everything. That’s why UptyBots supports:
- email alerts
- Telegram notifications
- webhooks for Discord or custom bots
Server owners, moderators, and support staff can be notified instantly so downtime is minimized and players can return to the game faster.
Perfect for PVE, PVP, Clusters, and Modded Ark Servers
Whether you host:
- PVP raid servers
- peaceful cooperative PVE
- roleplay communities
- fully modded clusters
- hardcore vanilla experiences
uptime is critical. Consistent availability helps:
- retain players
- build active communities
- improve server list rankings
- avoid refund requests for VIP or donations
