Pterodactyl integration

Link your own Pterodactyl panel so Tickhound can read files and resource usage.

How it works

You provide a client API key from your own Pterodactyl account. Tickhound uses it read-only to list your servers, read server.properties, logs/latest.log, the plugins folder listing, and the live CPU/memory figures.

How your key is protected

  • Encrypted at rest with AES-256-GCM.
  • Never returned by any API, never shown in the UI, never written to logs or error messages — including to administrators.
  • Administrators only see: connected, connection status and last check time.
  • Panel URLs must use https and must not point to private network addresses.
  • Disconnecting deletes the stored key.

Setup

  • In Pterodactyl open Account → API Credentials and create a key.
  • In Tickhound open Settings → Integrations and enter the panel URL and key.
  • Tickhound tests the connection. Then link a Tickhound server to a panel server from the server page.
  • Tick “Sync from Pterodactyl” when running diagnostics.
