Dashboard overview

How the Raven panel is laid out, what every counter on the server home means, and which pages are hidden by version or permission.

The Raven dashboard has two levels. The account home lists every server you can reach, and each server has its own set of pages behind it. This page explains the layout and the numbers. The pages linked at the bottom cover each surface in detail.

The account home

/dashboard with no server selected shows three cards across the top:

  • Active Servers. How many servers you can open, counting the ones you own and the ones you were added to as an admin.
  • System Status. A fixed Operational reading for the Raven platform, not a reading of your server. The small line under it is the latest published resource version, which is what the Resource card on a server home compares against.
  • License Key. A button, not a reading. It opens the Redeem flow.

Under those is the same row of counters a server home carries, added up across every server you can see, and below that the account activity, fixed to the last 24 hours. Detections and actions there mean the same thing they mean on a server home, explained under the counters below.

The sidebar

Each server in the sidebar expands into four groups of pages:

  • General: Dashboard, Players List, Multi Stream, Map Interaction
  • Management: Bans List, Activity log, Admins, Moderators
  • Configuration: Main Settings, Protection Rules
  • Tools: Resources, Entities

Above the servers are the account-wide entries: Dashboard, Download, IP Reset, Changelog, Lookup, and either Licenses or Redeem depending on whether you are holding an unredeemed license.

URLs

Every page has a real address, so you can bookmark one or send it to another admin. They all hang off /dashboard/server/<server-id>:

  • /players, /multistream, /map, /banlist
  • /activity-log, /admins, /moderators
  • /main-settings, /protection-rules
  • /resources, /entities

The account-wide pages are /dashboard/download, /dashboard/ip-reset, /dashboard/installation, /dashboard/lookup, /dashboard/redeem, /dashboard/licenses, /dashboard/changelog and /dashboard/settings.

The server home

Opening a server lands on its Dashboard page. The row of counters at the top means:

  • Active Players. How many players are connected right now, pushed live rather than polled. When the server is not connected the number is zero and the card carries a badge saying why: Offline, or Expired or Suspended when the license is what stopped it.
  • Total Bans. Every ban row this server has ever had, including ones that were later lifted. Lifting a ban does not decrease this number, because the row is kept for the audit trail.
  • Active Bans. The bans currently in force. This is the same population the Bans List shows.
  • Manual Bans. Of the active bans, how many an admin issued by hand rather than a detection issuing them.
  • Cloud Storage. Everything this server occupies on the Raven cloud, which is the screenshots and recordings plus every database row the server owns.

The three ban counters are only sent to a viewer who holds the ban view permission. Without it they are absent from the response, not merely hidden on screen.

The panels

  • License Information. Status, package and expiry, shown to every admin. The License Key row is only present for the owner, because the key is only sent to the owner.
  • Resource. The installed version, a Latest or Update available badge, and a Download button. The badge only appears once the latest published version is known, so a blank badge means the check has not answered yet rather than that you are up to date.
  • Entity Cleanup. Delete Peds, Delete Vehicles, Delete Objects and Delete All, one button per entity permission you hold. These fire the moment you click, with no confirmation step, unlike the same cleanup on the Entities page. See Resources and entities.

The charts

  • Top detection types. Bans and kicks the anticheat issued on its own, grouped by reason. Hand-typed reasons from manual bans are left out, because a reason someone typed is not a detection signal. The top seven reasons get their own slice and the rest fold into Other. The card is labelled All time, which in practice means the last twelve months.
  • Actions over time, last 24 hours. A detection is a ban or a kick the resource issued by itself. An action is every other activity-log entry for this server, so manual bans and kicks, unbans, wipes, captures, config saves and admin changes all count as actions.
  • Server analytics, last 24 hours. Players per hour, with the peak and the average for the window in the corner.

Online, offline, expired, suspended

A server reads as Online only while a live outbound WebSocket from the resource is connected. There is no inbound connection from the dashboard to your machine and nothing to port forward, so an Offline reading means the resource is not running, is out of date, or cannot reach ws.ravenac.net on port 443. The Installation guide covers that.

An expired license shows Expired instead, and writes are refused with a renewal message. A suspended license refuses every data endpoint for that server with a message pointing at our Discord, which is the only place a suspension is lifted.

Who can see what

The owner of a server always has everything. Anyone else is an admin with a set of permissions, and every page and every button is gated on a specific one. A few things stay with the owner no matter what an admin is granted, including the license key, IP reset requests and deleting the server. Admins and moderators lists every permission and exactly what it unlocks.
