Control panel and console
The control panel opens from the service list: the Manage → Control panel menu. The link can be bookmarked.
Power controls
Three buttons in the panel header:
- Start — active when the server is off;
- Restart and Stop — when the server is running.
The current state is shown next to them: "Running", "Stopped", "Starting…", "Stopping…" or "Restarting…".
If the server's rental has expired, all three buttons are disabled and a red banner above the panel says the rental has expired and the server is stopped, with the deletion date and an Extend button. The server can't be controlled until it's extended — see What happens if you don't extend a server.
Console
The Panel tab holds the server's live console — the same output you'd see on the machine itself. It connects directly and updates in real time.
To send a command, type it into the field at the bottom and press Enter. For example:
sm_map de_dust2
The ↑ and ↓ arrows scroll through previously sent commands.
Quick commands
Above the input is a row of buttons for frequently used commands. Clicking one sends the command to the server immediately.
- Add command — save your own;
- the bin icon — remove one you don't need.
Quick commands are stored in your browser, not in your account. On another computer, or after clearing browser data, the list will be empty.
Stats
Above the console are cards with server details: node, address, uptime, CPU load, memory and disk.
The figures after the slash ("/ 200%", "/ 4 GiB", "/ 40 GiB") are your plan's limits: CPU in percent (100% = one core), memory and disk. To the left of the slash is the actual usage.
Other tabs
- Settings — launch variables, the server port and reinstall;
- Access — granting rights to other users;
- Cron — scheduled tasks;
- Files — SFTP connection details.
Each has its own article in this section.
