What is Serverside monitoring?

Complete guide about our Serverside Monitoring

Serverside Monitoring has been reintroduced to Stellar, offering an additional layer of restock detection across supported sites like Amazon, Walmart, Costco, Sam’s Club and others.

This feature allows Stellar to detect restocks directly from our servers, reducing the chance of missing drops when your local monitor tasks are rate limited or throttled.

How It Works

• No Setup Needed – Just make sure your bot is on the latest version. It will automatically listen for Stellar's serverside pings.

• Enhances Local Monitoring – Serverside monitoring works with your monitor tasks, not instead of them. Continue running one monitor task per product as usual.

• Use "Watch Tasks" – Ensure your checkout tasks are set as Watch Tasks to take advantage of serverside triggers.

  • Amazon checkout tasks are watch tasks by default

Where to Check for Supported Products

• Since supported SKUs can change frequently, we do not list them in this guide. Instead, you can always find the most up to date supported product list in the #serverside-monitoring channel inside our Stellar Discord server.
