Each managed server has configurable settings that control how GameSentry connects to and monitors it.
Available Settings
| Setting | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| RCON Password | The password used to authenticate with your server's RCON. | Set during setup |
| RCON Port | The port number for RCON connections (1-65535). | Game-specific |
| Polling Interval | How often GameSentry queries the server (seconds). Minimum depends on your plan. | Tier default |
| Server Group | Optional group name for organizing servers in the dashboard. | None |
| Hide from Server List | Prevents the server from appearing in the public server browser. | Off |
| Active | Whether GameSentry should maintain an RCON connection to this server. | On |
Activating & Deactivating Servers
You can toggle a server's active state at any time. When deactivated, GameSentry disconnects RCON and stops monitoring. When reactivated, a connection test is performed before reconnecting.
If your subscription allows 5 servers and all 5 are active, you must deactivate one before activating another. This "swap" mechanic lets you rotate between servers without upgrading.
System-suspended servers (due to subscription limits or payment issues) cannot be manually activated until the underlying issue is resolved. Upgrade your plan or update your payment method.
