FiveM server status in Discord

What you get

Show whether your FiveM server is online, how many people are playing, and a Connect button, right in your Discord. It's free with Glitchworks Guard, and you don't need to install anything on your FiveM server for this part.

• A pinned status message that updates about once a minute: Online or Offline, players (for example 42 / 64), how long it's been online, and a Connect button.
• An optional player count channel: a voice channel called something like "Players: 42/64" at the top of your channel list.
• Optional alerts to your staff when the server goes down or comes back, with an optional ping.

You'll need

• Glitchworks Guard in your Discord server (add Guard), with its role near the top of your role list.
• The Manage Server permission in Discord.
• Your server's cfx.re join link (looks like cfx.re/join/abc123) or its public IP and port (looks like 123.45.67.89:30120).

Where's my join link? In txAdmin, open the Dashboard: it's shown under your server's name. You can also find your server on the FiveM server list and copy the link from there.

Step 1: Add your server

1. In any channel, type /fivem setup and press Enter. Only you can see the reply.
2. Press Add a server.
3. Fill in the form:
   • A short name for it: for example Main server.
   • cfx.re join link, or IP:port: paste cfx.re/join/abc123, or 123.45.67.89:30120.
   • cfx.re join link for the Connect button: only needed if you used an IP above. Leave it blank otherwise.
4. Press Submit. Guard checks your server straight away and tells you what it found, for example "Found it: Los Santos Life · 12/64 players".

If it says it didn't answer, that's OK: your server may be off, or restarting. Guard keeps checking every minute.

Step 2: Choose where the status goes

You're now on your server's settings screen.

1. Press Create the channels for me. Guard makes #server-status (a read-only channel for the status message) and a player count voice channel (nobody can join it; it's just a sign).
2. Or pick your own channels in the menus: 1. Status channel (any text channel) and 2. Player count voice channel (optional).
3. 3. Alerts channel Optional: where Guard says your server is offline or back online. Leave it blank to use your Guard logs channel.
4. 4. Ping role Optional: a role to ping on those alerts, for example Staff.
5. The green button should say Status panel: on (it switches on by itself once a status channel is picked). If it says Status panel: off, press it.

Within a minute, the status message appears in your status channel and is pinned.

Step 3: Check it works

• Run /fivem status: you'll see the same status privately.
• Stop your FiveM server for a few minutes: after about two minutes the message turns Offline, and your alerts channel gets a message. Start it again and it turns Online within a minute.

Good to know

• How often does it update? The status message: about once a minute. The player count channel: at most every 10 minutes, because Discord only lets bots rename a channel twice every 10 minutes.
• "Offline" needs two misses in a row (about 2 minutes), so a quick restart doesn't spam your staff. While it's down, Guard checks a little less often (up to every 5 minutes) and tells you as soon as it's back.
• Up to 3 servers per Discord (for example Main and Dev). Add more with Add a server.
• Change or remove a server: /fivem setup > pick it in Change a server's status panel… > Edit address or Remove.
• Guard never checks private addresses (like 192.168.x.x or 127.0.0.1). Use your server's public IP, or the join link.
• Want a whitelist, job roles, txAdmin logs or duty too? Those need the free Glitchworks Link resource.
