Introduction
You've rented an Icarus 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 your game supports live queries, you'll also see the current player count, map, and ping.
No. ZAPX detects unexpected crashes automatically and updates your overview in the background.
In the Configuration tab, AI scans your server files and turns relevant settings into clear, topic-based form fields with explanations. Critical values are marked with a caution notice. You can also edit the config file in raw text view.
You can create up to 5 MariaDB databases per server, with direct phpMyAdmin access and an export option.
The ZapX AI Agent is included with every ZapX Pass. It can analyze your console log, search and edit files, manage backups, show or reset FTP credentials, and suggest updates. It asks for your confirmation before making any changes and never acts on its own.
No. The Icarus console currently displays logs only and doesn't support command input.

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—with an explanation of each setting. Critical values are specially 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 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. In chat, it can read and analyze your console log, search and edit files, manage backups, show or reset your FTP credentials, and suggest updates. Any action that changes 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 can also find your SFTP credentials for external programs like FileZilla or WinSCP in the same tab, including one-click password rotation if you ever 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 a database as primary. For added security, you'll need to re-enter the database name to delete it.
Savegames
Under Savegames, you have a dedicated file manager limited to your save folder—you'll see only what you need, without having to navigate through the entire server file tree.
Operations and Maintenance
Console
The Console displays your server's live output as a log only—for Icarus, you currently can't enter commands through the console. If your server starts struggling due to low memory, the console detects it automatically and displays a clear warning with a suggested action.
Backups
We back up your server automatically every day, so you'll always have a recent backup on hand without having to remember to make one yourself. With ZapX Pass, you also get full control under Backups: create, restore, and download backups with a single click. Each backup includes a complete snapshot of the version (game version and 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 your own schedule.
Tip
With ZapX Pass Plus, you get 1 custom backup slot per server; with Pro, 3; and with Max, 5. 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: Plus 250 GB, Pro 500 GB, and Max 1,000 GB. If needed, you can add more 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 handy presets like "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 record of what happens on your server—from starts and restarts to configuration changes, every backup, and every console command. You can always check when something was changed and what happened.
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 Icarus game server management in ZAPX—from AI-powered configuration to automatic backups that have your back in the background.
