/testalert

Send a test alert to the bot owner.
Requires Manage Server permission or configured admin role.

​
Command Signature

/testalert

​
Purpose

Verifies the DM-based alert system is working.

​
Requirements

Environment variable: 
BOT_OWNER_ID=123456789012345678
Must be set to:
  • Your Discord user ID
  • Bot must be able to DM you

​
What It Does

  1. Sends a test alert DM to the bot owner
  2. Confirms delivery in ephemeral response
  3. If delivery fails, reports error

​
Alert System

Once configured, the bot sends DM alerts for: Performance Issues:
  • High latency (>500ms for 5+ consecutive minutes)
  • Memory issues
  • Circuit breaker triggered
Operational Events:
  • DM delivery failures
  • Critical errors
  • Daily health summary (9 AM)
Debug Channel: If a debug channel is configured via /setchannel, alerts are also posted there.

​
Example Output

Success: 
✅ Test alert sent to bot owner. Check your DMs to verify
the alert system is working.
Failure: 
❌ Failed to send test alert. Make sure BOT_OWNER_ID is
configured correctly.

​
Test Alert DM

🔔 Test Alert

If you're seeing this, the alert system is working correctly!

• Memory issues
• DM delivery failures
• Daily health summaries (9 AM)

Time: [timestamp]

​
Troubleshooting

Alert not received:
