Point it at the game, the website and the panel, adjust the check interval and send the alerts to a staff channel. ## Why alerts matter[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/infrastructure/server-downtime-alerts-discord-telegram#por-que-alertas) Learning about an outage from player complaints is the worst scenario: the damage is already done. With automatic alerts, you are the first to know and you act before it becomes a crisis. This is the other half of [monitoring with Uptime Kuma](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/vps/uptime-kuma-vps-monitoring), which checks availability. ## Check from outside[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/infrastructure/server-downtime-alerts-discord-telegram#checar-de-fora) A monitor running on the same machine goes down with it and never warns you. That is why the check has to come from outside the host's network. That way the test reflects what the player really sees and detects the outage for real, instead of giving you a false sense that everything is fine. For the everyday manual check, when someone asks whether the server is really down, [MC Status](https://mcstatus.streethosting.com.br/?utm%5Fsource=streethosting&utm%5Fmedium=site&utm%5Fcampaign=tools&utm%5Fcontent=guia%3Amonitoramento-uptime-alertas-discord-telegram) queries the server from outside and shows the ping and the players online. It does not replace a monitor with alerts, but it confirms right away whether the outage is real or just the network of the person complaining. ## Set up the alerts[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/infrastructure/server-downtime-alerts-discord-telegram#configurar-avisos) | Channel | How to connect it | Good for | | -------- | -------------------------- | ---------------------------------- | | Discord | Webhook in a staff channel | Teams that already live on Discord | | Telegram | Bot sending to the group | Quick alerts on your phone | Send the alerts to a staff-only channel. Technical notices in the public channel cause unnecessary panic in the community. ## Interval and noise[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/infrastructure/server-downtime-alerts-discord-telegram#intervalo) A good monitor warns you quickly without flooding you with false alarms. Use a check interval of a few minutes and require more than one failure in a row before alerting. A short blip should not set off panic in the middle of the night. ## Close the loop[](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/infrastructure/server-downtime-alerts-discord-telegram#fechar-o-ciclo) * Monitor running outside the host's network * Alerts on your team's Discord or Telegram * Failure confirmed before the alert goes out * Status page for the community Round out the setup with an [incident status page](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/infrastructure/incident-status-page) and learn what uptime targets mean in [uptime and SLA](https://streethosting.com.br/en/guides/infrastructure/what-is-uptime-and-sla).

Because a monitor inside the same network as the server can go down with it and never warn you. Checking from outside makes sure the test reflects what players see, so it catches real availability outages. Discord or Telegram for the alerts? Both work well. Discord is convenient if your team already lives there, through a webhook. Telegram is great for phone alerts, through a bot. Pick the channel your team actually sees quickly. What check interval should I use? An interval of one to a few minutes usually balances speed and noise. Checking every second adds load and false alarms. Checking too far apart delays finding out about the outage. How do I avoid false alarms? Set the monitor to confirm the failure with more than one check before alerting. A momentary blip should not set off panic. Only send the alert once the outage is confirmed. Next step See Minecraft Pro Managed hosting on Ryzen with modpacks, optimized Paper and technical support.
