Managing your FiveM server

## Server control and resource management

With txAdmin you can start, stop and restart your FXServer or individual resources from the web panel. Use the **Server** and **Resources** tabs to:

- Start/stop the entire server or restart it after applying configuration changes.
- Start, stop or restart individual resource scripts without affecting the whole server.
- Monitor the real-time status of each resource and see error messages or warnings.

## Monitoring and console

The **Console** section shows live output from your FXServer. You can run commands directly, watch for errors and copy logs for troubleshooting. The **Live Monitor** graphs CPU and RAM usage and thread performance so you can identify performance bottlenecks.

## Player management and moderation

txAdmin includes a built-in player manager with features such as:

- Viewing all connected players with ping, session time and license identifiers.
- Issuing warnings, kicking or banning players and writing notes.
- Managing whitelists to control who can join your server.
- Resetting player’s position, spawning vehicles, healing or teleporting via the in-game admin menu.
- Keeping a persistent record of penalties and warnings in the player database.

## Scheduled tasks and restarts

Use the **Scheduler** to configure automatic restarts, backups or command execution at specific times. Scheduled restarts help keep your server running smoothly by clearing memory and applying updates during off‑peak hours.

## Editing configuration

The **CFG Editor** in txAdmin allows you to edit your `server.cfg` and validate syntax before saving. You can change server name, player slots, resource list and other settings from the browser. Always restart your server after changing configuration.

## Backups and migrations

txAdmin includes tools to backup your server data and migrate to a new environment. Use the **Backups** tab to create snapshots of your `resources`, `server.cfg` and database files, then download them or restore them on another IllusionCloud VPS.

## Best practices

- Keep your resources organised and remove unused scripts to improve performance.
- Test new scripts on a staging server before applying them to production.
- Regularly review your logs and player warnings to identify rule violations or exploits.
- Combine txAdmin’s scheduled restarts with your own maintenance window to minimise disruption.
