The official DodoReaper Guard watchdog for ARK: Survival Evolved. Auto-restarts a hung server, warns on high RAM and restarts at your limit, recovers from crashes, and posts Discord alerts with health graphs. Uses your owner key; managed from your control panel.
Configuration File
Guard ships with sensible defaults. Set ApiKey to report to your panel, then tune the RAM limits to match your server's normal usage. Any of these can also be overridden live from the panel.
