Running a DayZ server takes more than start and stop.

Workshop updates, SteamCMD, scheduled restarts, backups, RCON, logs and broken configurations all require attention. DayZ Server Manager combines these tasks in controlled, traceable workflows.

  • Automate without giving up control.
  • Detect problems before they become permanent.
  • Manage multiple servers from one interface.

CORE FEATURES

One toolkit for the entire server operation.

From scheduled maintenance to live administration: central workflows, clear states and traceable changes.

Automated operations

Scheduled restarts, player warnings, Steam and Workshop updates and controlled startup workflows.

Monitoring and recovery

Detects crashes, freezes, inactive logs and unavailable query ports, with controlled recovery.

Mods and Workshop

Manage Workshop metadata, downloads, deployments, server assignments and load order centrally.

Live administration

RCON, players, bans, chat, live map and events in one interface.

Files and backups

Safe editing, automatic backups, version history and recovery for configuration and persistence.

Analytics and optimization

Player analytics, server FPS, stability trends and explainable loot recommendations.

Web access and user permissions

Manage your DayZ servers from a browser – locally, across your network or securely over HTTPS. User groups, server-specific access and granular permissions ensure that each user can only see and use the features assigned to them.

MULTI-USER ADMINISTRATION

Not every administrator needs full access.

DayZ Server Manager is fully manageable through the web and supports multiple users with separate accounts, groups and server-specific permissions.

The web interface runs on your own system. It is not a third-party hosted cloud panel.

  • Browser access through LAN, VPN or HTTPS
  • User groups with composable permissions
  • Access can be limited to specific servers
  • Separate permissions for start, stop, RCON, files, backups and updates
  • Disabled users are signed out immediately
  • Critical actions are audited

LIVE ADMINISTRATION

See what is happening on your server.

Track players, vehicles, events and custom objects live. Communicate with players and perform administrative actions directly from the map.

  • Players, vehicles, events and custom objects
  • Chat and event timeline
  • Admin markers and object trackers
  • Contextual RCON actions
Analytics view with player growth, server FPS and stability metrics

ANALYTICS

Understand performance and growth.

Track player growth, server FPS, uptime and stability. Raw measurements are aggregated carefully without turning missing data into misleading zero values.

  • Player growth and new players
  • FPS history and load analysis
  • Uptime and stability metrics
  • Daily and weekly comparisons

CENTRAL ECONOMY

Do not guess your loot economy. Understand it.

The Loot Balancer analyzes aggregated telemetry, detects all active Types files and creates explainable recommendations for nominal and min. Changes remain controlled, backed up and reversible.

  • Dynamic detection of all CE files
  • Explainable recommendations with confidence
  • Exclusion rules and safety limits
  • Change plans, backups and rollback
Mod management with Workshop metadata, server assignment and update states

WORKSHOP & DEPLOY

Manage mods without losing track.

Register Workshop mods, check metadata, assign them to multiple servers and install only what is missing or outdated.

  • Separate client and server mods
  • Automatic metadata and update checks
  • Safe deployment through temporary directories
  • Installation manifests and fingerprints

SELF-HOSTED

Your servers. Your data.

DayZ Server Manager runs on your own Windows system. Server data, player analytics, backups and configuration remain under your control.

Administration is provided through a responsive web interface and can be accessed locally, across a LAN, through a VPN or securely over HTTPS, depending on the deployment.

Central services are used only for product updates, bridge/map packages and future license validation. Day-to-day server operation remains local.
