Console
Execute server commands from the panel
The Console page is a web-based terminal that lets you run admin commands on your SCUM server directly from the browser. It also streams live server logs so you can monitor what is happening in real time.
Type a command in the input field at the bottom and press Enter. The result appears in the log above. See RCON Commands for the full list.
Quick Commands
The Quick dropdown menu to the left of the command input provides one-click access to common commands:
| Quick Command | What it does |
|---|---|
| Server Status | Shows current server information |
| List Players | Lists all online players with stats |
| Help | Shows available commands |
Click any quick command and it executes immediately, with the result appearing in the console log.
Command History
The console remembers your last 100 commands. Use the Up and Down arrow keys while the input field is focused to cycle through your previous commands. Command history is saved in your browser and persists between sessions.
Log Streaming
The console continuously streams live server logs automatically. You will see server events, player actions, and system messages appear in real time without any manual refresh.
Each log entry shows:
- Timestamp -- when the event occurred
- Source tag -- where the log came from (e.g.,
RCON) - Message -- the log content, color-coded by type
Log Level Filters
The toolbar at the top of the console has filter buttons to control which log levels are visible:
| Filter | What it shows |
|---|---|
| All | Shows all log levels (default) |
| Info | Informational messages only |
| Warning | Warning messages only |
| Error | Error messages only |
Click a filter to toggle it. You can combine filters to show, for example, only warnings and errors. The error and warning counters in the toolbar show how many of each type are currently in the log.
Search
Use the Search field in the toolbar to filter log entries by text. Only lines containing your search term will be shown. Clear the search field to show all entries again.
Console Controls
The toolbar provides several additional controls:
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Pause/Resume | Pauses the live log stream. New entries are buffered and appear when you resume. |
| Download | Export logs as a .log text file, or download all server log files as a .zip archive. |
| Clear | Clears all entries from the console display. This does not affect actual server logs. |
Reporting issues?
Use the Download button to grab the full .zip archive with all server logs and attach it to your report — it helps resolve problems much faster.
Connection Status
At the bottom of the console, a status indicator shows the connection state:
| Status | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Streaming | Connected and receiving live logs |
| Paused | You paused the stream manually |
| Reconnecting... | Connection lost, attempting to reconnect automatically |
| Connection error | Failed to connect after multiple retries |
| Disconnected | Connection lost. Click "Reconnect" to try again |
Full Command Reference
The console accepts all WardenCore admin commands. See RCON Commands for a complete list of available commands with descriptions and usage examples.
Common Issues
Unknown command
If you see "Unknown command" in the response, double-check the command spelling. Use the help command to see all available commands, or refer to the RCON Commands reference.
No permission to send commands
If the command input field is not visible, your admin account has view-only permission for the Console page. This means you can watch the log stream but cannot execute commands. Ask the server owner to upgrade your Console permission to manage in the Settings.
Console shows Connection error
This means the connection to the server was lost. This can happen if the game server restarted or if there is a network issue. Click the "Reconnect" link in the status bar, or refresh the page.
