Console Page

The Console page provides a dedicated, full-screen interface for monitoring and interacting with your Hytale server consoles. Unlike the console tab within server details, this page offers a focused view with the ability to quickly switch between different servers without leaving the console interface.

Accessing the Console page

To open the dedicated Console page:

1. Navigate to the main Hypanel interface.
2. Click "Console" in the left sidebar navigation menu.

The Console page opens in full-screen, providing an immersive view of your server's console output.

Console page interface

The Console page features:

Left sidebar navigation

The left sidebar provides access to all main Hypanel sections:

• Dashboard — Return to the main dashboard
• Servers — View all servers
• Console — Current page (highlighted)
• Players — Player management
• Backups — Backup management
• Settings — Application settings

Main console area

The main content area displays:

• Page header — "Console" title with subtitle "Server console output and commands"
• Server selector — Dropdown menu to switch between servers
• Server status indicator — Shows server status (e.g., "auth_required" badge)
• Console output — Full-screen log display
• Command input — Field to execute commands

Server switcher

One of the key features of the Console page is the server switcher dropdown at the top of the console area.

Switching between servers

1. Click the server dropdown (shows current server name, e.g., "My Awesome Server").
2. Select a different server from the dropdown list.
3. The console automatically switches to show that server's output and allows you to execute commands for that server.

This allows you to monitor and manage multiple servers from a single interface without navigating away from the console view.

Server status indicators

The server selector shows status badges next to server names:

• auth_required — Server needs authentication (red badge)
• Online — Server is running
• Offline — Server is stopped
• Installing — Server is being installed

These indicators help you quickly identify which servers need attention.

Console output

The console output area displays:

• Real-time log entries — Server output appears immediately as events occur
• Timestamped messages — Each entry includes timestamps (e.g., [02:49:29 PM], [2026/01/23 04:49:29 INFO])
• Color-coded messages:
  • Red — Error messages (e.g., [error][aot] An error has occurred)
  • Yellow — Warning messages (e.g., WARNING: A restricted method in)
  • White — Information messages (e.g., [Hytale] Logger Initialized)
• Server events — Initialization, authentication attempts, warnings, and other server activity
• Auto-scroll — Console automatically scrolls to show the latest entries

The full-screen view provides maximum visibility for monitoring server activity.

Authentication prompts

If a server requires authentication, the Console page displays an Authentication Required section with:

• Information icon and heading "Authentication Required"
• Step-by-step instructions:
  1. Run /auth login device in the server console
  2. Follow the URL and enter the code provided in the console to authenticate
• Open Console button — Quick access to launch authentication

This helps you complete server authentication directly from the console interface.

Executing commands

To execute commands on the selected server:

1. Ensure the correct server is selected in the server dropdown.
2. Type your command in the "Enter command..." input field at the bottom.
3. Click the send button (green paper airplane icon) or press Enter.

Commands are sent to the currently selected server, and you'll see:

• Your command displayed with a > prefix
• Command execution confirmation
• Command output or results

Example commands

Common commands you can execute:

• /who — List connected players
• /op <player> — Grant operator privileges
• /kick <player> — Disconnect a player
• /auth login device — Authenticate the server
• /save-all — Save all world data

Full-screen advantages

The dedicated Console page offers several advantages over the console tab:

• Larger view — More screen space for console output
• Server switching — Quickly switch between servers without leaving the console
• Focused interface — Dedicated view without other server details
• Better for monitoring — Ideal for watching multiple servers or extended monitoring sessions
• Immersive experience — Full-screen console for intensive server management

Use cases

The Console page is ideal for:

• Multi-server monitoring — Watch multiple servers simultaneously by switching between them
• Extended debugging — Focus on console output without distractions
• Server administration — Execute commands across different servers quickly
• Real-time monitoring — Keep the console open to catch issues as they occur
• Authentication management — Complete server authentication workflows

Differences from Console tab

While both provide console access, the Console page offers:

• Standalone page — Accessible from main navigation, not just server details
• Server switcher — Switch between servers without navigating away
• Full-screen focus — More space dedicated to console output
• Persistent view — Stay on console while managing multiple servers

The Console tab (within server details) is better for:

• Quick console access while viewing other server details
• Context-specific console access from server management pages

Future features

Planned enhancements for the Console page include:

• Console commands guide — Comprehensive guide to available server commands
• Search feature — Search through console history and command documentation
• Click to paste — Click commands in the guide to paste them directly into the console input

These features will make it even easier to discover and use server commands effectively.

Tips

• Keep console open — Leave the Console page open in a separate tab for continuous monitoring
• Use server switcher — Quickly check multiple servers without losing your place
• Monitor during startup — Watch the console when starting servers to catch initialization issues
• Check authentication status — Use status badges to identify servers that need authentication
• Scroll through history — Review past console output to identify patterns or issues

The Console page is your central hub for server console management across all your Hytale servers.
