# Server Management

https://docs.wisecp.com/de/server-management

See every hosting or automation server in one list, with usage, profit or loss and status visible at a glance.

## Opening the Screen

Open **Products › Hosting & Servers › Server Settings** from the side menu: `{admin}/products/servers`.

The list shows every server already connected. **Add New Server** above it opens the connection form ([Adding a Server](https://docs.wisecp.com/en/adding-a-server)). **Server Groups** beside it opens the load balancing groups ([Server Groups](https://docs.wisecp.com/en/managing-server-groups)).

## What Is on the Screen

| Area | Holds | When |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Toolbar | Apply to Selected, Server Group filter, Automation Module filter | Above the list; on mobile behind Show Options. |
| List | Hostname, IP Address, Type, Usage, Profit/Loss, Status, row menu | Always, one row per server. |

### Toolbar

**Apply to Selected** applies **Activate**, **Inactivate** or **Delete** to the ticked rows and clears itself once sent. **Server Group** narrows the list to one group. **Automation Module** narrows it to one module and lists only modules a server actually uses.

### Columns and the Row Menu

**Hostname** links to the server's edit screen; an API username of root, admin, superadmin or administrator adds a small **Root** badge beside it. **IP Address** is where the panel connects. **Type** shows the automation module's logo, or its name when it has none, with a tooltip naming the module. **Usage** is a bar for the share of Maximum Accounts already used by services.

**Profit/Loss** compares last month's revenue from services on this server against its Monthly Cost. Green means the server earns more than it costs, red means the reverse, and a dash means no Monthly Cost is set. **Status** is the Active or Inactive badge. Each row ends with a three dot menu holding **Edit** and **Delete**, and the download icon in the toolbar offers the filtered list as CSV, JSON or XML.

## Filter Fields

- **Server Group**: Optional, empty by default. Only servers assigned to the chosen group.
- **Automation Module**: Optional, empty by default. Only servers using the chosen module.
- **Apply to Selected**: Activate, Inactivate or Delete for the ticked rows. Empties itself after it runs.

## Tasks

### Narrowing the List

1. In the toolbar, pick a value in **Server Group** or **Automation Module**.
2. The list narrows at once; both filters apply together.
3. Set the dropdown back to its placeholder to see every server again.

### Activating or Inactivating Several Servers

1. Tick the servers you want, or the header box for the whole page.
2. Choose **Activate** or **Inactivate** from **Apply to Selected**.
3. Confirm in the window that opens. Inactivating is refused while a product still assigns services to the server, or while active services already run on it.
4. The list reloads once the change is applied.

### Deleting One or More Servers

1. Open a row's three dot menu and choose **Delete**, or tick several rows and choose **Delete** from **Apply to Selected**.
2. Confirm in the window; deleting more than one server asks for your admin password.
3. Deletion is refused while active services are still linked to the server. Detach or move them first.
4. Confirmed rows disappear from the list right away.

## Things to Watch

> **Deleting is refused while services remain**
> 
> A server cannot be deleted while active services are still linked to it. Detach those services or move them to another server first.

> **Inactivating checks the same thing**
> 
> Inactivating is refused if a product still assigns services to this server, or if active services are already running on it.

> **Bulk delete asks for your password**
> 
> Deleting two or more servers at once asks for your own admin password before it proceeds. Deleting a single server does not.

## Required Privileges

Opening the screen and every action on it, filtering, activating, inactivating and deleting, all need **Server Settings** (`MODULES_SERVERS_SETTINGS`). Downloading the list additionally needs the export privilege; without it the download icon does not appear.
