How do I send uptime alerts to Discord?

In UpDog, create an alert for your monitor. In the alert modal, choose Discord as the destination and paste the Discord channel webhook URL. Save and send a test alert.

Can I post downtime alerts to a specific Discord channel?

Yes. Create a webhook for the target channel (e.g., #ops or #status), then map the monitors you care about to that webhook.

What should a Discord uptime alert include?

A clear service name, whether it’s down or recovered, when it changed, and one link back to UpDog for the incident timeline and check details.

Why are my Discord uptime alerts not arriving?

Confirm the Discord webhook URL is correct and still active, and ensure your monitor is assigned to the Discord notification integration.

How do I reduce noise from Discord uptime alerts?

Route only production-critical monitors to Discord, separate environments into different channels, and tune check intervals/retries to reduce flapping spam.

Discord alerts for uptime monitoring

Send uptime alerts to Discord so downtime and recovery updates land in the channel your team (or community) actually checks. Keep posts short, route by environment, and link back to context.

How UpDog + Discord works

UpDog posts a message to Discord when a monitor changes state (down, degraded, recovered). Use it for fast team visibility without turning your server into a noisy log stream.

What the alert includes

Monitor/service name and environment
State change and timestamp
One link back to UpDog for the timeline and check details

Common routing patterns

#status for broad visibility; #ops for responders
Separate channels for production vs staging/dev
Route by ownership (API, frontend, infra) to reduce noise

What you can do with UpDog + Discord

Send Discord uptime alerts for downtime and recovery (great for internal ops channels).
Keep community teams informed by posting into a #status channel (optional if you run a public server).
Route by environment so production and staging don’t share the same alert stream.

How to set it up (step-by-step)

Create or pick an uptime monitor in UpDog.
Create a Discord webhook for the channel that should receive alerts.
Create an alert for that monitor.
In the alert modal, choose Discord and paste the webhook URL.
Save the alert so that monitor posts to Discord.
Send a test alert and verify it lands in the intended channel.

Best practices

Use one alert channel per environment

Keep production incident posts separate from staging/dev to prevent alert fatigue.

Keep the alert payload short

Discord channels move fast. Lead with service name + state, then include one link back to UpDog for the full timeline.

Escalate separately if response must be guaranteed

Discord is great for visibility. If you need “someone must respond now,” pair with SMS or an on-call tool.

Troubleshooting

No alerts in Discord: confirm the webhook URL is valid and that the monitor is routed to Discord.
Posting to the wrong channel: check which channel the webhook belongs to; Discord webhooks are channel-specific.
Too many notifications: route fewer monitors to Discord and tune intervals/retries to reduce flapping.
403/permission errors: ensure the webhook wasn’t removed or permissions changed on the server.
