Learn how to use the console and monitor resource usage

The console is your direct connection to your application, allowing you to run commands, view output, and monitor performance metrics in real time.

Server Console

Once your application is running, you can monitor its resource usage and access the console to view activity and run commands.

Console Types

Depending on your application type, you may have access to different console modes.

Application Console

The application console displays your application's logs in real-time, including:

  • Startup and shutdown messages
  • Activity logs
  • Error messages and warnings
  • Command execution results

These logs come directly from the application itself, so they are usually in English and cannot be translated since it's third-party code.

Don't be intimidated by the console output. While it may look technical, think of it as a conversation between you and your application. The messages are generally written in plain, understandable phrases that tell you what the application is doing. This makes the console an invaluable tool for troubleshooting issues and monitoring your application's behavior.

For applications that support it, you can also send commands through the console. Commands are like orders you give to your application to perform specific actions.

Most games require a slash (/) before commands in the in-game chat to distinguish them from regular messages. In the application console, every entry is already treated as a command, so no prefix is needed.

Environment Console

Some applications, such as websites, databases, bots, and other software, provide access to an Environment Console. This is an SSH-based terminal that gives you direct access to your application's Linux environment.

In the environment console, you can use standard Linux commands such as:

  • ls, cd, pwd for navigation
  • nano, vim for file editing
  • cat, head, tail for viewing files
  • Application-specific tools depending on your application type

This is useful for advanced configuration, debugging, or running maintenance tasks directly in your application's environment.

Disabled Console

Some applications do not support console commands. When console commands are disabled, the console will only display output without accepting input.

This happens when the application:

  • Can only be controlled in-game or through its own interface
  • Uses its own dedicated control panel
  • Is managed through other tools like RCON, APIs, or external management interfaces

In these cases, refer to your application's specific documentation for how to manage and control it.

Console Controls

To the right of the input field, you'll find the Copy output button which copies the console content to your clipboard. This is useful when you need to share logs for troubleshooting or support.

Resource Monitoring

Above the console, graphs display your application's resource usage, showing:

  • CPU consumption
  • RAM usage
  • Disk space utilization
  • Incoming and outgoing data volume

To learn more about what these resources mean and how they affect your application, see the Resources page.
