Sentinel ARK
One Discord bot instead of your whole stack of ARK tools.
The all-in-one bot for ARK: Survival Ascended servers (PvP and PvE, multi-map): base live map, leaderboards, tickets, anti-cheat detections and RCON control, all inside Discord. Modular and 100% configurable — runs even on managed hosting (Nitrado). Now in public beta: every module is free, no license key needed, until 3 August 2026.
Everything an ARK server needs, in a single bot.
Base live map
A private web map of your server: calibrated background, tribe bases and real-time player positions — plus map views (tribe map, bases) right in Discord. Private by default.
Tribe & player leaderboards
Two auto-refreshing boards — Tribes and Players — ranking kills, tames, deaths, play-time, structures destroyed, raids and more, with fully configurable weights.
Tickets with player sheet
Members open a ticket from a panel; staff claim and answer, and a transcript is saved on close. The linked player's sheet (in-game name, kills, deaths) attaches automatically — optional AI help with your own key.
Anti-cheat & watch-list
Detectors and alerts for suspicious activity, sent to your admin channel with the evidence attached — plus a watch-list of players to keep an eye on.
Safe RCON console & status
Run admin commands from Discord — only the ones you approved: nothing outside your allow-list ever runs, and destructive actions are blocked by design. Live status panel and voice-channel player counter included.
Battle Pass
A seasonal progression that keeps players engaged: they earn XP (play-time, kills…) and unlock rewards in-game and on Discord. Levels, curve and rewards fully configurable.
Dino arsenal
An overview of the notable creatures across your cluster — stats, levels and per-species records — read straight from the save file.
Analytics
Your server's activity at a glance: attendance, retention (new vs returning players), raid activity and cumulative combat — per server and per map.
Modular & 100% configurable
Each module hot-toggles and a faulty one never takes down the rest. Everything is set from a desktop app (config.exe) — no file to edit by hand. Native multi-server, works with Nitrado too.

Free while in beta.
Frequently asked
Is Sentinel ARK ready to use?+
Yes — it's in public beta: download it and use every module free until 3 August 2026. Development continues: updates ship regularly and the bot tells you when a new version is available.
Does it work with managed hosting (Nitrado)?+
Yes. The bot runs on a Windows machine you keep online (your PC or a small rented server) and connects to your ARK servers through RCON. The live map and save-based features also need FTP access to the save file, and the bot uses a MySQL/MariaDB database — Nitrado provides all three. No server-side plugin is required; a couple of premium features (tribe bases, live player positions) use two free CurseForge mods.
Will it stay free after the beta?+
The core stays free: configuration panel, server status, RCON console, timers, account linking, cluster tribes. Premium modules (raid alerts, leaderboards, live map, tickets, anti-cheat…) will unlock with a license key, module by module — pricing announced at the end of the beta.
