Overview
The Overview is your command center: check your server status, copy your 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 also see the current player count, map, and ping right in the dashboard, without any external tools.
Tip
If your server crashes unexpectedly, ZAPX automatically detects it in the background and updates your overview. You don't need to reload the page manually to see the actual status.
Configuration
Searching through configuration files by hand is a thing of the past: under Configuration, AI automatically scans your server files, identifies the relevant settings, and turns them into clear, form fields grouped by topic — with an explanation of each parameter. Critical values are 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 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. Any action that changes your server is presented to you for confirmation first — the AI Agent never takes action 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'll also find your SFTP credentials for external programs such as FileZilla or WinSCP in the same tab, including a one-click password reset if you need to update them.
Databases
Under Databases, you can create up to 5 MariaDB databases per server, view credentials at a glance, open them directly in phpMyAdmin, or export the structure with one click. You can mark a database as primary. To delete one, you'll need to enter its name again for security.
Operation and maintenance
Console
The Console shows your server's live output in a real terminal. What's special: ZAPX automatically generates a command palette tailored to your game with AI, organized into categories such as administration, gameplay, or chat — and includes autocomplete as you type. If your server starts struggling because it's running low on 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 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 that exact 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 choose.
Tip
With ZapX Pass Plus, you get 1, with Pro 3, and with Max 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 handy presets such as "Every hour" or "Daily at 04:00" — or create 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 console commands. This makes it easy to 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 customize the protection as well.
Conclusion
You now know your way around all the sections of your FiveM game server management in ZAPX — from AI-powered configuration to automatic backups that have your back in the background.
