Your Counter-Strike: Global Offensive game server's dashboard at a glance: configuration, files, console, backups, schedules and the ZapX AI Agent.
10 November 20264 min read1 Views0 helpful
Introduction
You've rented a Counter-Strike: Global Offensive game server from us and want to know where to find each feature in ZAPX? This guide walks you through your server's product management 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 and updates your overview for you.
In the Configuration tab, AI scans your server files and turns the relevant settings into clear, topic-based form fields with explanations. Critical values are 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. It can read and analyze your console log, search and edit files, manage backups, show or reset your FTP credentials, and suggest updates. You'll be asked to confirm any action that changes your server—the agent never acts on its own.

Control
Overview
The Overview is your control center: check your server status, copy your IP:port with one click, and monitor live CPU, RAM, disk, and network usage. Each resource tile has a direct "Upgrade" button in case you need more resources. If your game supports live queries, you can also see the current player count, map, and ping right in the dashboard—no external tools needed.
Tip
If your server crashes unexpectedly, ZAPX detects it automatically in the background and updates your overview for you. 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 converts them into clear, topic-based form fields—with an explanation for each setting. Critical values are marked with a "Caution" notice so you don't accidentally take your server offline. If you prefer the traditional approach, you can open the raw text view of the configuration 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.
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, search and edit files, manage backups, view or reset your FTP credentials, and get update suggestions. You'll be asked to confirm any action that changes your server beforehand. The AI Agent never acts on its own, so you're always 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 can also find your SFTP credentials for external programs like FileZilla or WinSCP in the same tab, with a one-click password rotation option if you need 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 one database as the primary database. To delete a database, 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. The standout feature: ZAPX uses AI to automatically generate a command palette tailored to your game, organized into categories such as administration, gameplay, or chat—with autocomplete as you type. If your server starts struggling because it's running out of memory, the console detects it 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 and configuration), so you can return to that exact state whenever you need to. Restores show live progress, and the server is stopped only briefly. With ZapX Pass Pro, your backups can even run automatically on a schedule you choose.
Tip
ZapX Pass Plus includes 1, Pro includes 3, and Max includes 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. You can add more backup storage on the ZapX Pass page if needed.
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 handy presets like "Every hour" or "Daily at 04:00," or set up your own schedule using 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 every console command. You can always see when something was changed and what changed.
DDoS Manager
The DDoS Manager displays incoming traffic live in a chart 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 a dedicated IP address, you can also customize the protection.
Conclusion
You now know your way around every section of your Counter-Strike: Global Offensive game server management in ZAPX—from AI-assisted configuration to automatic backups that have your back in the background.
Server hosting from €2.49 / month, online instantly, DDoS protection included.
