RustManager is a full web-based administration panel that connects to your Rust server via RCON. It provides real-time monitoring, player management, combat logging, and automation — all from your browser.

Getting Started

1. Navigate to RustManager
2. Click "Add Server" and enter your RCON host, port, and password
3. RustManager will connect and begin streaming live data

Dashboard

The dashboard shows a quick status overview: server connection, player count, FPS, entity count, uptime, and recent events — all updated in real-time via WebSocket.

Console

Full RCON console with command history, autocomplete suggestions, and response highlighting. Commands are validated before execution with confirmation for destructive operations.

Players

Live player roster with Steam ID, IP address, country flag, ping, connection time, and K/D stats. Switch between Online and All Players (including offline history). Moderation actions include:

• Investigate — Deep player profile with timeline, notes, and reputation
• Timeline — Complete event history (kills, chats, joins, moderation)
• Kick / Ban / Mute — Quick moderation with confirmation dialogs
• Right-click context menu for fast access to all actions

Chat Monitoring

Live chat stream combining database history with real-time WebSocket events. Features include search, channel filters (Global/Team/Server), player-specific log lookup, quick moderation buttons (Mute, Warn), and an export function.

Monitoring

Real-time telemetry command center with FPS/entity/player sparkline charts, alert system (critical FPS, high entities), availability tracking, and quick diagnostics (serverinfo, gc.collect, entity.count, etc.).

Events

Live event stream: kills, joins, leaves, raids, saves — with severity filtering, type-based grouping, and hourly distribution charts.

Server Control

Quick-access RCON commands: save, kick all, say, restart, change level, set time/weather, with confirmation guards for destructive actions.

Detection

Automated cheat detection scoring — analyzes kill patterns, headshot ratios, session frequency, and combat data to flag suspicious players.

RustList Plugin

For enhanced data (structured kills, raids, inventory), install the RustListAdminOxide plugin on your server. The plugin sends structured JSON events over RCON for higher-fidelity data than vanilla console parsing.
