Server Overview
The Overview tab is your server's home base. Here you can monitor performance, check status, and find connection information at a glance.
Server Status
At the top of the overview, you'll see your server's current status:
| Status | Description |
|---|---|
| Online | Server is running and accepting connections |
| Offline | Server is stopped |
| Starting | Server is booting up |
| Stopping | Server is shutting down |
| Installing | Server is being set up for the first time |
| Error | Something went wrong - check the console |
If your server shows an error status, check the Console for error messages or try restarting the server.
Resource Monitoring
Real-time graphs show your server's resource usage:
CPU Usage
- Shows processor utilization as a percentage
- High CPU can cause lag or slow response times
- If consistently above 80%, consider upgrading your plan
Memory (RAM) Usage
- Displays current memory consumption
- Memory usage varies with player count and loaded content
- Running out of memory can crash your server
Storage Usage
- Shows disk space used vs. available
- Includes game files, worlds, backups, and logs
- Clean up old files or upgrade storage if running low
If your server consistently runs at 90%+ CPU or memory, it may need a plan upgrade for better performance.
