Your Multi Theft Auto game server's dashboard at a glance: configuration, files, console, backups, schedules and the ZapX AI Agent.
10 November 20264 min read0 Views0 helpful
Introduction
You've rented a Multi Theft Auto 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 support can save you in your day-to-day administration.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The overview shows the server status, IP:port with 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 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 explanations included. 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 through chat, search and edit files, manage backups, show or reset your FTP credentials, and suggest updates. It asks for your confirmation before making any changes and never takes action on its own.

Overview
The Overview is your cockpit: server status, IP:port with one-click copying, and live CPU, RAM, disk, and network usage. Each resource tile has a direct "Upgrade" button in case you run low. If your game supports live queries, you'll 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 translates them into easy-to-understand form fields grouped by topic—including an 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 directly—both options are available in the same view.
After saving, 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 on-demand server admin. Through 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 something on your server is presented to you for confirmation first—the AI Agent never takes action on its own, so you always remain in full control.
Manage content
Files
The file manager under Files works like an FTP program right in your browser—upload files using drag and drop, edit them online, rename them, or delete them. You can also find your SFTP credentials for external programs such as FileZilla or WinSCP in the same tab, with one-click password rotation in case you want to renew 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 structure with one click. You can mark one database as primary. For added security, you'll need to re-enter the database name to delete it.
Operation and maintenance
Console
The Console shows your server's live output in a real terminal. Here's what makes it special: ZAPX automatically generates an AI-powered command palette tailored to your game, divided into categories such as administration, gameplay, or chat—with autocomplete as you type. If your server starts struggling due to low 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 on hand without having to remember to make 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, configuration), so you can return to exactly that state whenever needed. Restoring includes 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, 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: Plus 250 GB, Pro 500 GB, 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 (with ZapX Pass Pro and above), or run a custom command. Choose from handy presets such as "Every hour" or "Daily at 04:00" or set up your own schedule using a custom cron expression.
Statistics
Under Statistics, you can 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 has happened on your server—from starts and restarts to configuration changes, backups, and every console command. This lets you see exactly when changes were made.
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 configure the protection individually.
Conclusion
You now know your way around all areas of your Multi Theft Auto game server management in ZAPX—from AI-assisted configuration to automatic backups that have your back in the background.
