Server Information
Live health check for your server: entity count, uptime, frame rate and memory, with a rolling one-hour chart for each. Open it and you get tabs, like Economy: the stats page, and Update your server name. Also where you choose whether players can see your population.
01What it does
Open Server Information and you get the same kind of tabs Economy has. Server Information is the live health check. Update your server name is the other tab, for painting the name players see in the server browser.
02The four stats
- Entity Count: how many entities exist in the world right now. Every wall, box, sleeping bag, barrel and vehicle counts. This climbs over a wipe, and very high numbers usually mean more lag.
- Server Uptime: how long since the last restart, shown in days, hours and minutes with the exact seconds underneath.
- Frame Rate: the server's frame rate (FPS) at that moment. Higher is better. A sudden drop is often the first sign something's wrong.
- Memory Used: how much memory the server is using, shown in MB or GB.
03Charts
Entity Count, Frame Rate and Memory Used each have a View more button. That opens a chart of roughly the last hour along with the minimum, maximum and latest value.
Older points drop off as new ones come in, which keeps the chart readable. It keeps itself up to date while it's open.
Open the Frame Rate chart when players say 'it's lagging'. If FPS dipped at the same time Entity Count jumped, someone probably built something huge or a lot of stuff spawned at once.
04Population on the player dashboard
Under the stats there's a Display Population on the Player Dashboard switch. It's ON by default, so players can see how many people are online, for example Players 42 / 100.
Turn it OFF and players see Players *** / 100 instead. The max player count still shows, only the number online is hidden. The little preview next to the switch shows what players will see.
- It applies to the server list on the player dashboard, the server page players open from it, and the header of your web store.
- The real number is never sent to players while it's off, so it can't be found by poking around in the browser.
- You and your team still see the real numbers in Server Information and everywhere else in the admin dashboard.
- The queue count is still shown to players.
05Good to know
- The page keeps itself up to date on its own. Hit Refresh now if you want the latest numbers right away. The time of the last update is shown next to the button.
- If the bot isn't connected to your server, the stats show dashes and you'll see a message saying it couldn't refresh.
- Uptime doesn't have a chart, because it just goes up until the next restart.
- When your server restarts, Surge puts your saved settings back for you (see Server Settings → My Settings).
