felisphasma Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Detect if a server is up Hey, I'm trying to find a way to detect if a server is up. I have tried two things so far to detect server status: 1) connecting to the server with a udp socket and 2) sending some data and listening for a response. Unfortunately I have not had any luck yet. Anyone know of a good way of detecting if an ark server is online? Ty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkfields Posted January 15, 2020 Share Posted January 15, 2020 Enable RCON on the server, then try connecting to RCON. Note that RCON uses TCP. I modified this one for use with my server.https://gist.github.com/pihril/7aa490915b4cd3b3a3105eb85fa97bc0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
