Yes. If live queries are supported, the Overview shows the current player count, map, and ping right in the dashboard—no external tools required.
No. ZapX automatically detects unexpected crashes in the background and updates your overview for you.

Controls
Overview
The Overview is your cockpit: check your server status, copy your IP:port with one click, and monitor 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 in the dashboard—no external tools required.
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 parameter. Critical values are specially marked with a "Caution" notice so you don't accidentally bring your server down. If you prefer the classic approach, open the raw text view of the config file—both options are available in the same view.
After saving, ZapX offers to restart the server so your changes take effect right away.
DNS
Under DNS, you automatically get your own free, easy-to-remember address for your server. You can also create up to 3 additional subdomains or connect one of your own domains. When you connect your own domain, ZapX automatically sets up the required DNS records for you, including detecting the correct port for your game. You can mark a domain as "Preferred" so it appears as your primary address throughout the dashboard.
ZapX AI Agent
With the 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, browse 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 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'll 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 change 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 one database as primary. For added security, you'll need to re-enter the database name to delete it.
Operations 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, organized into categories such as Administration, Gameplay, or Chat—with autocomplete as you type. If your server starts struggling due to a lack of 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 create one yourself. With the ZapX Pass, Backups also gives you full control: create, restore, and download backups with one click. Each backup includes a complete version snapshot (game version, configuration), so you can return to exactly that state whenever needed. Restores include a live progress indicator, and the server is only stopped 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 personal 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. You can purchase additional backup storage on the ZapX Pass page if needed.
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 like "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 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 a dedicated IP address, you can even customize the protection.
Conclusion
You now know your way around every section of your Unturned server management in ZapX—from AI-powered configuration to automatic backups that have your back in the background.
