Accessing and Using the Console in The Panel
The console is a powerful tool for interacting directly with your server. Whether you're running a Minecraft server, a FiveM server, or any supported service, the console allows you to monitor logs, issue commands, and manage server behavior in real-time.
How to Access the Console
-
Login to the Pelican Panel
Go to https://panel.arxdhosting.org and log in with your credentials. -
Select Your Server
From the dashboard, choose the server you wish to interact with. -
Open the Console
On the left sidebar or main server page, click on the Console tab.
What You Can Do in the Console
-
View Real-Time Logs
Monitor the startup process, error messages, and server output live. -
Run Server Commands
You can send commands directly to the server (e.g.,/say Hello
,stop
,restart
, etc.). -
Check for Errors
Use the logs to identify crash causes, plugin issues, or resource problems. -
Monitor User Activity
For games like Minecraft or Rust, the console shows who joins, leaves, and what actions are taken.

Console Limitations
-
Output is real-time only; it does not show historical logs unless your server is configured to store them.
-
If your server is not running, the console will not function until it has fully started.
-
Long outputs may be truncated; consider using in-game commands or log files for full details.
Console Troubleshooting
-
Nothing is showing up: Ensure the server is running.
-
Cannot send commands: Check for syntax issues or permission restrictions.
-
Server won’t respond to input: Wait a few moments after startup or try restarting the server.
