Introduction
You’ve rented a Core Keeper game server from us and want to know where to find each feature in ZAPX? This guide takes you through your server’s product management from start to finish—and shows you how much time the built-in automation and AI assistance can save you in your day-to-day administration.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The overview shows your server status, IP:port for one-click copying, and live CPU, RAM, disk, and network usage. If the game supports live queries, you’ll also see the current player count, map, and ping right in the dashboard.
No. If your server crashes unexpectedly, ZapX detects it automatically in the background and updates your overview on its own.
In the Configuration tab, AI automatically scans your server files and turns the relevant settings into easy-to-understand form fields grouped by topic, with an explanation for each. Critical values are also marked with a caution notice. Alternatively, you can edit the configuration file directly in the raw text view.
You can create up to 5 MariaDB databases per server, each with direct phpMyAdmin access and an export option.
The ZapX AI Agent is included with every ZapX Pass. You can chat with it to read and analyze your console log, browse and edit files, manage backups, view or reset your FTP credentials, and get update suggestions. It always asks for your confirmation before making changes and never acts on its own.
No. The Core Keeper console currently displays logs only and does not support command input.

Overview
The Overview is your cockpit: check your server status, copy the IP:port with one click, and view live CPU, RAM, disk, and network usage. Each resource tile has a direct "Upgrade" button in case you need more capacity. If your game supports live queries, you can even see the current player count, map, and ping right in the dashboard, without any external tools.
Tip
If your server crashes unexpectedly, ZAPX detects it automatically in the background and updates your overview on its own—you don’t need to reload the page manually to see the actual status.
Configuration
Manually searching through configuration files is a thing of the past: under Configuration, AI automatically scans your server files, identifies the relevant settings, and turns them into easy-to-understand form fields grouped by topic—with an explanation for each parameter. Critical values are specially marked with a "Caution" notice so you don’t accidentally bring your server down. If you prefer the classic approach, you can open the raw text view of the config file instead—both options are available in the same view.
After you save, ZAPX offers to restart the server so your changes take effect right away.
DNS
Under DNS, you automatically get a free, easy-to-remember address for your server. You can also create up to 3 additional subdomains or connect one of your own domains. When you connect your own domain, ZAPX automatically sets up the required DNS records for you, including detecting the correct port for your game. You can mark a domain as "Preferred" so it appears throughout the dashboard as your main address.
ZapX AI Agent
With ZapX Pass, you have the ZapX AI Agent at your side—your personal on-demand server admin. Chat with it to read and analyze your console log, browse and edit files, manage backups, view or reset your FTP credentials, and get update suggestions. Any action that changes something on your server is presented to you for confirmation first—the AI Agent never acts on its own, so you always stay in full control.
Manage content
Files
The file manager under Files works like an FTP program right in your browser: upload files with drag and drop, edit them online, rename them, or delete them. You’ll also find your SFTP credentials for external programs like FileZilla or WinSCP in the same tab, along with one-click password rotation if you want to update them.
Databases
Under Databases, you can create up to 5 MariaDB databases per server, view their credentials at a glance, open them directly in phpMyAdmin, or export their structure with one click. You can mark a database as primary. To delete one, you’ll need to re-enter its name for security.
Operations and maintenance
Console
The Console shows your server’s live output in a real terminal. For Core Keeper, it currently displays logs only and does not support command input—the AI command palette is available only for games with an interactive console. If your server struggles due to low memory, the console detects this automatically and displays a clear warning with a recommended action.
Backups
We automatically back up your server every day, so you always have a recent backup without having to remember to create one yourself. With ZapX Pass, you also get full control under Backups: create, restore, and download backups with one click. Each backup includes a complete version snapshot (game version, configuration), so you can return to exactly that state whenever you need to. Restores include a live progress indicator, and the server is stopped only briefly. With ZapX Pass Pro, your backups can even run automatically on a schedule you set.
Tip
ZapX Pass Plus gives you 1, Pro gives you 3, and Max gives you 5 custom backup slots per server. See all the benefits on the ZapX Pass page. There’s also an account-wide storage limit for all backups of your services combined, daily backups included: 250 GB for Plus, 500 GB for Pro, and 1,000 GB for Max. If you need more space, you can add extra backup storage on the ZapX Pass page.
Schedules
Under Schedules, you can automate recurring tasks: start, stop, or restart the server, create a backup (with ZapX Pass Pro or higher), or run a custom command. Choose from convenient presets such as "Every hour" or "Daily at 04:00," or create your own schedule with a custom cron expression.
Statistics
Under Statistics, keep an eye on your server’s resource usage. Choose a time range from 1 hour to 30 days and view CPU, RAM, disk, network traffic, and your player count in relation to your purchased slots.
Activity
Activity keeps a complete log of what happens on your server—from starts and restarts to configuration changes, backups, and console commands. You can always see when changes were made and what they were.
DDoS Manager
The DDoS Manager displays incoming traffic live in a graph and lists past attacks with their time, duration, and peak bandwidth. ZAPX automatically learns which ports and services belong to your server and filters traffic accordingly. If you have your own IP address, you can even customize the protection settings.
Conclusion
You now know your way around every area of your Core Keeper game server management in ZAPX—from AI-assisted configuration to automatic backups that have your back in the background.
