Game Server Bot

A Discord chat bot for monitoring processes on a Linux server.

The bot can currently show processes running under a particular Linux user, and print resource usage for the server and for those processes.

Commands all start with a prefix specified in a configuration file. A whitelist of Discord guilds (i.e. servers) and channels is also specified in a configuration file. The bot will only respond to messages that start with the command prefix on whitelisted channels.

Commands

• ping - responds with "Pong!"
• list - lists available commands
• ps - show processes running under user specified in config file by running ps command on host
• top - show resource usage of host and processes using top command on host

config.json

A template for config.json is included at src/config.json.template. Fill in appropriate values and rename to config.json.

Values needed in config file:

• username: the Linux username to get process information for for the top and ps commands
• authToken: the Discord bot authorization token
• whitelist: a list of servers and the channels on those servers that the bot will respond to.

Limitations

The bot assumes all processes of interest are running under as the same user on the server.
