Creating a Discord channel to receive IWServerMonitor notifications - Alexandre Machado - 08-13-2023
Hi all,
Here is a small guide on how to create a Discord channel to receive notifications from your IntraWeb applications via IWServerMonitor.
First of all, you must register a Discord account. The process is simple and straightforward. You just need to chose a display name/user name and use your email: https://discord.com/register
After creating your user, you will receive an activating email. After that you can start using your account.
Here's how you create a new server/channel that can receive notifications from your server:
Create a Discord Server:
If you don't have a server yet, you'll need to create one. If you already have a server, you can skip this step. To create a server:
- Click the "+" icon on the left sidebar of Discord.
- Choose "Create a Server."
- Follow the prompts to set up your server, giving it a name, selecting a region, and choosing an icon.
Inside your server, you'll need to create a text channel where your applications can send notifications. To create a text channel:
- Right-click the server's name in the left sidebar.
- Select "Create Channel."
- Choose "Text Channel."
- Give your channel a name and customize its settings as needed.
Create a webhook for your text channel. A webhook is a URL that allows external applications to send messages to your Discord channel. Here's how to create a webhook:
- Go to the text channel you created.
- Click on the gear icon to the right of the channel name to access channel settings.
- In the settings, select "Integrations."
- Click the "Create Webhook" button.
- Give your webhook a name and optionally choose an avatar for it.
After creating the webhook, you'll see a unique URL under the "Webhook URL" section. Click "Copy" to copy this URL.
The URL will look like this:
https : //discord.com/api/webhooks/1234567890123456789/AbCdEfGhIjKlMnOpQrStUvWxYz1234567890AbCdEfGhIjKlMnOpQrStUvWxYz
Inside the IWServerMonitor.ini file, you must provide the Discord Token, which is the part after "https://discord.com/api/webhooks/", i.e. the token will be:
1234567890123456789/AbCdEfGhIjKlMnOpQrStUvWxYz1234567890AbCdEfGhIjKlMnOpQrStUvWxYz
That's it.
