Server overview
Sign in at app.cerebrust.xyz and open My servers, then pick a server. Everything for that server hangs off the left-hand sub-nav, which is grouped by what you came to do.
| Group | Sections | What it is for |
|---|---|---|
| Monitor | Overview, Live feed, 3D map, Teams, Retention | Watching the server right now |
| People | Players, Bans, VIP, Moderators | Everyone on it, and everyone running it |
| World | Raids, Bases, Signs, Leaderboard | What is happening out on the map |
| Configure | Listing & Discord, Plugin behaviour, Gameplay mods, Rust server file, Wipe, Integrations | Changing how it all works |
| Account | Billing | What you pay for it |
You only ever see the sections your role can use. A moderator gets Monitor, People (minus VIP and Moderators), World and Configure; an owner gets everything. A group with nothing in it for you simply is not there.
The overview page
Section titled “The overview page”Finish setting up your server
Section titled “Finish setting up your server”Above everything else, a panel tracks how far through setup you are and what to do next. It is collapsed to a single line; click it for the full list.
Seven things, and each says what you actually get from it:
| Step | What it gets you |
|---|---|
| Connect your server | Everything else needs telemetry |
| Tell CerebRUST your wipe schedule | The in-game countdown, the pre-wipe Discord posts, and the wipe date on your public page |
| Connect your Discord | Kill feed, raid alerts, reports, chat mirror — and how we reach you when a base is about to decay |
| Choose your gameplay mods | Gather rates, stack sizes, furnace boost and the rest are built in. Most servers install fifteen plugins for this |
| Write your welcome message | The first thing a new player reads |
| Add your moderators (optional) | Your staff reach every server you run |
| Set up your public page (optional) | A link for your Discord, showing live players and your leaderboard |
Nothing here is self-reported — each step watches your actual configuration, so it is a status rather than a to-do list you tick yourself. Turning a mod deliberately off still counts: you have made the decision the step is asking about.
The two optional steps do not count against your percentage, and the panel disappears once there is nothing left to suggest.
Anything I should know?
Section titled “Anything I should know?”The strip at the top is the first thing on the page, and it only appears when there is something to say. It watches for:
- a raid in progress, and where on the map
- your plugin having stopped reporting, and for how long — while it is silent, the map and every live view are frozen at that moment
- bases that run out of upkeep within a day, read from the sweep the plugin runs every five minutes
- how many raids landed in the last 24 hours
Every line is a link to the page that does something about it. When there is nothing wrong, it says so once and gets out of the way — it will never show you a wall of green ticks.
The rest of the page
Section titled “The rest of the page”- Live status — players online and when the server last reported in, updating in real time over a WebSocket rather than on a refresh
- Players-online chart — the shape of your server’s day, and where your peaks actually are
- Description — as reported by your server
Reading the players-online chart
Section titled “Reading the players-online chart”The chart covers the last 35 days, and a red vertical line marks every wipe in that period, so you can compare how one wipe started against the last.
It is kept at full detail where you are most likely to look and summarised further back:
| How far back | One point every |
|---|---|
| Last 24 hours | 5 minutes |
| 1–3 days | 30 minutes |
| Older | 1 hour |
Each point is the peak player count for its slot, not an average, so your busiest moment is never smoothed away — the shape of the graph is the same either way.
“Last update” is your health indicator
Section titled ““Last update” is your health indicator”Your server heartbeats every 15 seconds. If the last-update time starts climbing into minutes, the plugin has stopped reporting — see Troubleshooting.
Everything is scoped to the current wipe
Section titled “Everything is scoped to the current wipe”Players, leaderboards, raids, gather stats — all of it resets when your server wipes. This is deliberate: a wipe is a fresh start, and last wipe’s numbers would only muddy this one’s.
Live means live
Section titled “Live means live”The overview, live map, chat and activity feed all update over a live connection. Leave the page open on a second monitor and it stays current — no polling, no refreshing.
The exception is the leaderboard, which compiles roughly hourly.
If you play rather than run a server
Section titled “If you play rather than run a server”Not everyone signing in owns a server. My game — the personal link in the top bar, and in the avatar menu — is the page for people who play on CerebRUST servers:
- the base of yours that runs out of upkeep first, across every server you play on
- how many tool cupboards you hold and where
- the servers you play on, and when you were last there
Upkeep figures come from the sweep the plugin runs every five minutes, so they are recent rather than live.
If you do run a server, that same slot says My servers and takes you to your servers instead. You still reach My game from the avatar menu.
Your account
Section titled “Your account”The avatar menu at the top right has Account settings, which is where your Steam identity, your public profile, your bases and your Discord link live.
Linking Discord is what lets CerebRUST reach you directly — base-decay warnings and other alerts arrive as a DM instead of only sitting in your notifications inbox.
