I25 Server Maintenance

Monitoring and Proper Shutdown

Running ServerMonitor

ServerMonitor.exe (located in the bin directory) should be used wherever possible to shut your server down, to prevent database issues.

The Server Monitor also provides useful information for server administration, including player counts, information about stuck and crashed processes, and more.

Adding the following lines to loadBalanceShardSpecific.cfg under a ServerRole will automatically launch the Server Monitor when you start up your server.

Server
	Command "servermonitor.exe -connect"
End

• Additionally you can run it from the bin directory; it can be run with the -connect parameter to automatically connect to a dbserver running on the same machine.
