Understanding Your Server Panel (AMP)

AMP Control Panel Overview

AMP (Application Management Panel) by CubeCoders is the primary panel we use at DustBowl.Games. Here's a tour of the key features.

Dashboard

When you log in, you'll see your server instances listed. Each shows:

• Status — Running, Stopped, or Updating
• CPU / Memory usage — Real-time resource monitoring
• Player count — How many players are connected

Console

The console tab gives you direct access to your server's command line. You can:

• Send commands to your game server
• View real-time server logs
• Monitor startup and error messages

File Manager

Browse, upload, download, and edit your server files directly in the browser. This is useful for:

• Editing config files (e.g., server.cfg, server.properties)
• Uploading custom maps or mods
• Downloading backups

Configuration

AMP provides a user-friendly settings page for common server options so you don't have to hand-edit config files. Options vary by game but typically include:

• Server name and description
• Max players
• Game mode and map rotation
• RCON password
• Network port settings

Scheduling

Set up automated tasks like:

• Automatic restarts — Restart your server daily at off-peak hours
• Backup schedules — Automatic world/config backups
• Update checks — Keep your server on the latest version

User Management

Add other users to your server with granular permissions. Great for giving your admins access without sharing your master credentials.
