How It Works
Parsers turn your files into facts, rules check the facts, and every result tells you why.
STEP 01
Connect
Connect your server or upload diagnostic information.
Add the address, link Pterodactyl with your own API key, or paste server.properties, your plugin list, proxy config and latest.log.
STEP 02
Scan
Tickhound runs its checks.
Your files are read, DNS and a few ports you listed are tested, and each check compares what it found with what it expects.
STEP 03
Detect
Problems are categorized by severity.
Each finding is Critical, Error, Warning, Info or Good, grouped into Performance, Plugins, Network, Security, Configuration and Compatibility.
STEP 04
Understand
See what caused the problem.
A plain-language explanation comes first. Expand a finding for the detected value, the expected value and the evidence behind it.
STEP 05
Fix
Get clear recommendations.
Every finding ends with a concrete next step and a link to the documentation. Rescan to confirm the fix, then keep watching with monitoring.
Predictable
The same input always gives the same answer. Every rule is listed on the Diagnostics page.
Clear about gaps
Checks without data are skipped, not counted as passed. Sample data is always labelled.
Check the fix
Rescan to confirm it worked, then use monitoring to catch the next problem early.
