Using the console and sending commands
How to send commands to your game server, read logs and interpret startup output from the WingNode panel.
The Console tab is where you interact directly with your server process. Every message the server prints to stdout/stderr appears here.
Sending commands
Type a command at the bottom of the console and press Enter. You don't need to prefix with / — the panel sends the command exactly as typed. Common commands:
- Minecraft:
op <player>,say Hello,save-all,stop. - FiveM:
restart <resource>,refresh,quit. - Rust:
save,kick <player>,server.savebackup.
Reading logs
Timestamps prefix each line. Look for [WARN], [ERROR] or stacktraces when diagnosing issues. Paste error blocks into Wingman AI for fast triage.
Resource graphs
Above the console you see real-time CPU, RAM, disk I/O and network graphs. If CPU is pinned at 100% consistently, you're under-provisioned — upgrade the plan or optimize the server.
Shortcuts
- Ctrl+L clears the console output.
- Up/Down arrows cycle through recent commands.
- Click any line to copy it to clipboard.
