# How to Manage Your Game Server on XGamingServer (/docs/panel-guides/server-management)







The server dashboard is the first page you see when selecting a server. It shows power controls, server status, and resource usage.

Power Controls [#power-controls]

The power buttons are at the top-right of every server page:

| Button            | Action                     |
| ----------------- | -------------------------- |
| **Start** (green) | Boot the server            |
| **Restart**       | Stop then start the server |
| **Stop** (red)    | Gracefully shut down       |

Server Information [#server-information]

The dashboard shows:

* **Server address** (IP:Port) — click to copy
* **CPU Usage** — current vs allocated
* **Memory Usage** — current vs allocated
* **Disk Usage** — current vs allocated

Startup Parameters [#startup-parameters]

Click **Startup** in the sidebar to configure launch options:

* Server name, max players, game-specific settings
* The **Startup Command** shows the full command the server runs
* The **Docker Image** shows which container runs your server
* **Variables** section has editable fields for each setting

Changes require a server restart to take effect.

AI Assistant [#ai-assistant]

The AI Assistant panel appears on the right side of the dashboard. It can answer questions about your specific server, suggest performance optimizations, and help troubleshoot issues.

Type a question and press Enter — it has context about your server's game type, resource usage, and configuration.

Reinstall Your Server [#reinstall-your-server]

If you need a fresh start or to update:

1. On the **Dashboard**, click **Reinstall Server** (or find it in **Settings**)
2. Confirm the action
3. The server re-downloads game files from Steam

> Your config files and saves are usually preserved during reinstall — but make a backup first to be safe.
