Add a server

Claim a server so GameSentry can connect to it and start recording everything that happens.

Updated Oct 15, 2026

To manage a server you claim it, which proves you control it. You claim the first server while creating your organization, and you can add more later from Servers.

What you need

  • The server online and listed publicly.
  • Its RCON port and RCON password, for the RCON method.
  • The RCON port open for incoming TCP connections in your host's firewall.

Add it from Servers

  1. 1

    In your organization, open Servers and select Add Server.

  2. 2

    Find the server and choose how to verify it.

  3. 3

    RCON: enter the RCON port and password. GameSentry connects once to confirm you have admin access.

  4. 4

    Server description: add the claim code GameSentry gives you, for example [GS:A1B2C3D4], to your server description and select Verify. Remove it again once the server is claimed.

  5. 5

    When verification succeeds the server appears in your organization and GameSentry stays connected to it.

MethodBest forGood to know
RCONThe fastest way, when you have the RCON passwordYour RCON details are saved and used for the live connection
Server descriptionWhen you cannot share the RCON password yetAdd your RCON details afterwards in the server Settings to get the console and live data

Enter the RCON port, not the game port. On Rust the RCON port is usually the game port plus one, for example 28016 for a server on 28015.

A server can belong to only one organization at a time. If another organization already manages it, they have to remove it first.

Your RCON password is encrypted when it is stored and is never shown again after you save it.
