Introduction
You've rented a Squad game server from us and want to know where to find each feature in ZapX? This guide takes you through every part of your server's product management and shows you how much time integrated automation and AI assistance can save you in your day-to-day administration.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
The Overview is your cockpit: check your server status, copy your IP:port with one click, and view live CPU, RAM, disk, and network usage. You can also start, stop, or restart your server from here.
In the Configuration tab, AI automatically scans your server files and turns the relevant settings into clear, topic-based form fields with explanations. Alternatively, you can edit the raw text view of the configuration file directly.
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. You'll be asked to confirm any action that changes your server; it never acts on its own.
To use DDoS Manager, you need either a dedicated IP address or the “DDoS Manager Overview” add-on. If your package doesn't include one of these, you can add it anytime with an upgrade.

Overview
The Overview is your cockpit: 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 resources. If your game supports live queries, you can even see the current player count, map, and ping right on 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 turns them into clear, topic-based form fields—including an explanation for each parameter. Critical values are specially marked with a "Caution" notice so you don't accidentally take your server offline. Prefer the traditional approach? 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 right away so your changes take effect immediately.
ZapX AI Agent
With the ZapX Pass, the ZapX AI Agent is at your side as 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—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 want to change your password.
Operation and maintenance
Console
The Console displays your server's live output in a real terminal. Here's what makes it special: 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 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 without having to remember to create one yourself. With the ZapX Pass, Backups gives you additional control: create, restore, and download backups with a click. Each backup contains 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 custom backup slot per server; Pro includes 3 and Max includes 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: 250 GB for Plus, 500 GB for Pro, and 1,000 GB for Max. If needed, you can add more backup storage on the ZapX Pass page.
Statistics
Under Statistics, keep an eye on your server's resource usage. Choose a period from 1 hour to 30 days and view CPU, RAM, disk, network traffic, and your player count relative to your purchased slots.
Conclusion
You now know your way around every section of your Squad game server management in ZapX—from AI-assisted configuration to automatic backups that have your back in the background.
