# Manage servers

> Use the dashboard, server list, and detail pages to work across all servers.

Catalyst has two high-level views for server management: the dashboard and the server list. The dashboard favors live state. The server list favors creating, opening, importing, renaming, and deleting servers.

## Dashboard

The dashboard shows:

* Total servers.
* Running servers.
* Total online players.
* Memory in use.
* A live server table with status, player count, memory, TPS, and start or stop actions.
* Performance and recent session activity panels.

<Card title="Console and lifecycle" icon="terminal" href="/docs/guides/console-and-lifecycle">
  The dashboard is useful for quick status, but detailed console work belongs on the server detail page.
</Card>

## Servers page

The **Servers** page includes creation, import, pagination, open-folder actions, rename, and delete.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Open">
    Select a server card or row to open `/servers/:id`. This is where console, files, properties, backups, content, and analytics live.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Rename">
    Rename changes the server record name shown in Catalyst. It does not rewrite world data or plugin configuration.
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Delete">
    Delete removes the server record and folder. Export or back up the server first if you need a copy.
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

## Close behavior

Catalyst can warn before the app closes while servers are running. The prompt explains that running Minecraft servers and ngrok tunnels will be stopped. You can disable this warning from **Settings**.

<Warning>
  Closing Catalyst stops managed server processes. Use the in-app stop button when you need the cleanest shutdown path and visible console feedback.
