Console

The Console tab shows everything your game server prints — startup messages, player joins, errors — as it happens. It keeps the last 2,000 lines on screen; older output scrolls away.

Run a command

Type into the input at the bottom and press Enter. Commands run as the server itself, exactly as if you typed them into the server’s own terminal:

• Minecraft: say Hello, whitelist add Notch, tps
• Source games: status, changelevel de_dust2

Caution

Console commands bypass most safety rails. A wrong command can ban players or delete data. When in doubt, make a backup first.

Read a crash

When a server will not stay up:

1. Press Start and watch the first 50 lines — the real error is usually near the top, not at the end.
2. Look for ERROR, Exception, missing, or port already in use.
3. Common causes and fixes live in server issues.

Console vs. logs

The console is a live view, not permanent storage. For history, use the Activity tab (who did what) or download log files from the Files tab (usually under logs/). Realtime integrations should use the event streams API rather than scraping the console.
