Where every check lands.

Outcomes of monitoring

The information your agent pulls translates into these specific operational states.

AVAILABILITY

Live worker counts

The agent identifies which workers are currently online or offline. You'll know exactly how many resources are ready for tasks.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Instance deep dives

When a worker fails, your agent pulls specific instance details. This helps you pinpoint why a particular node is acting up.

GAME STATUS

Game availability checks

Check which games are currently accessible to your workers. This ensures your fleet is targeting the right titles.

HUMAN ACTION

Manual intervention

If the agent finds a critical error, it flags the specific worker ID. You then decide if you need to manually restart the instance.
