The server management dashboard is your central hub for controlling and monitoring your game server. It provides real-time statistics, console access, and quick actions to manage your server effectively.

​
Server Dashboard

When you access a server, you’ll see the main dashboard which includes:
  • Server Console - Real-time console output and command input
  • Power Controls - Start, stop, restart, and kill buttons
  • Resource Statistics - CPU, memory, disk, and network usage graphs
  • Server Details - Quick overview of server status and allocations

​
Server States

Servers can be in various states that affect available actions:
StateDescriptionActions Available
runningServer is online and operationalFull access
offlineServer is stoppedStart only
startingServer is booting upLimited
stoppingServer is shutting downLimited
installingInitial installation in progressNone
suspendedServer has been suspendedNone
restoring_backupBackup restoration in progressNone
When a server is installing, suspended, or under node maintenance, most actions will be unavailable.

​
Server Information

The server overview displays key information:
Server Object
{
  "uuid": "7e8e8f18-25fa-4f9e-a13d-4d1c8e8b8f9e",
  "name": "My Minecraft Server",
  "description": "A survival server for friends",
  "status": null,
  "node": "Node 01",
  "limits": {
    "memory": 4096,
    "disk": 10240,
    "cpu": 200,
    "swap": 512,
    "io": 500
  },
  "feature_limits": {
    "databases": 2,
    "allocations": 5,
    "backups": 3
  }
}

​
Resource Utilization

The dashboard displays real-time resource usage through the Wings daemon:
1

CPU Usage

Shows current CPU percentage and historical data. The limit is based on your allocated CPU cores (e.g., 200% = 2 cores).
2

Memory Usage

Displays RAM consumption in MB/GB with a graph showing trends over time.
3

Disk Usage

Shows total disk space used by server files, including backups stored locally.
4

Network I/O

Real-time network traffic in/out measured in KB/s or MB/s.

​
API Endpoint

Resource statistics are fetched via WebSocket connection: 
GET /api/client/servers/{server}/websocket
Response
{
  "object": "websocket_credentials",
  "attributes": {
    "token": "eyJ0eXAiOiJKV1QiLCJhbGc...",
    "socket": "wss://node.example.com:8080/api/servers/{uuid}/ws"
  }
}

​
Server Permissions

Users and subusers can have different permissions:
  • Server Owner - Full access to all features
  • Subusers - Custom permissions set by owner

​
Common Permissions

  • control.console - Access console and send commands
  • control.start, control.stop, control.restart - Power actions
  • file.* - File management permissions
  • database.* - Database management
  • schedule.* - Task scheduling
  • backup.* - Backup operations
  • allocation.* - Network allocation management
  • startup.* - Startup parameter modification
  • settings.* - Server settings changes
Permissions are checked both in the panel UI and at the API level. The server owner always has all permissions.

​
Activity Logging

All server actions are logged to the activity log, which can be viewed from the dashboard: 
GET /api/client/servers/{server}/activity
Activities include:
  • Power state changes
  • File operations (create, edit, delete)
  • Database modifications
  • Backup creation/restoration
  • Schedule execution
  • Settings changes
Each log entry includes:
  • Timestamp
  • User who performed the action
  • Action type (e.g., server:console.command)
  • Additional properties/metadata

​
Installation Status

During initial server creation or reinstallation, you’ll see installation progress: 
GET /api/client/servers/{server}
Servers cannot be used until installed_at is set and status is not installing or install_failed.
