Introduction
You’ve rented an Empyrion 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 can 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 for you.
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 a German explanation for each setting. 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, search and edit files, manage backups, view or reset your FTP credentials, and get update suggestions. It asks for your confirmation before making any changes and never takes action on its own.

Overview
The Overview is your cockpit: check your server status, copy your IP:port with one click, and see 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, without any external tools.
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 turns them into easy-to-understand form fields grouped by topic—including a German explanation for each parameter. Critical values are specially marked with a "Caution" notice so you don’t accidentally bring your server to a halt. If you prefer the classic approach, you can open the raw text view of the config file—all in the same view.
After you save, ZAPX offers to restart the server so your changes take effect right away.
ZapX AI Agent
With the ZapX Pass, you have the ZapX AI Agent at your side—your personal server admin, ready when you need it. You can 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. Before it makes any changes to your server, it asks for your confirmation—the AI Agent never takes action 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 find your SFTP credentials for external programs like FileZilla or WinSCP in the same tab, along with a one-click password rotation option in case you want to change them.
Databases
Under Databases, you can create up to 5 MariaDB databases per server, view your credentials at a glance, open them directly in phpMyAdmin, or export the database structure with one click. You can mark a database as primary. For security, you’ll need to enter its name again to delete it.
Operations and maintenance
Console
The Console shows your server’s live output in a real terminal. For Empyrion, the console is read-only, so you can’t enter commands here. If your server starts struggling 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 the ZapX Pass, you also get full control under Backups: create, restore, and download backups with a click. Each backup includes a complete version snapshot (game version and configuration), so you can return to exactly that state whenever you need to. Restores show live progress, and the server is only stopped briefly. With ZapX Pass Pro, your backups can even run automatically on a schedule you set.
Tip
With ZapX Pass Plus, you get 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, 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 (available with ZapX Pass Pro and above), or run a custom command. Choose from useful presets such as "Every hour" or "Daily at 04:00" or set your own schedule using a custom cron expression.
Statistics
Under Statistics, you can keep track of 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 compared with your subscribed slots.
Activity
Activity keeps a complete log of what happens on your server—from starts and restarts to configuration changes, backups, and console commands. This lets you see exactly what changed and when.
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 a dedicated IP address, you can customize the protection as well.
Conclusion
You now know your way around all the sections of your Empyrion game server management in ZAPX—from AI-assisted configuration to automatic backups that have your back in the background.
