Understanding txAdmin: The Complete FiveM Server Management Guide (2026)

What Is txAdmin?

txAdmin is the official web-based management panel for FiveM servers. It comes bundled with FiveM server artifacts and provides a comprehensive dashboard for managing your server, players, and resources without touching the command line.

If you're running a FiveM server in 2026, txAdmin is your primary administration tool. This guide covers everything you need to know.

First-Time Setup

When you start your FiveM server for the first time, txAdmin launches automatically:

1. Open your browser and navigate to http://localhost:40120 (default port)
2. Link your Cfx.re account — This authenticates you as the master admin
3. Choose a deployment method:

- Popular Recipes — Pre-configured templates for ESX, QBCore, or other setups

- Remote URL — Use a recipe from a custom URL

- Custom — Point to an existing server-data folder

4. Follow the wizard to complete setup

Recipes are the fastest way to get started — they automatically download and configure the framework, database resource, and essential scripts.

The Dashboard

The txAdmin dashboard gives you a real-time overview of your server:

• Server status — Online, offline, or restarting
• Player count — Current versus maximum players
• Performance metrics — CPU usage, memory consumption, tick time
• Recent activity — Latest player joins, kicks, bans, and crashes
• Quick actions — Restart, stop, or start the server with one click

---

Player Management

txAdmin provides powerful tools for managing your player base:

Finding Players

• Live player list — See everyone currently connected with their name, identifiers, and join time
• Player history — Search for any player who has ever connected using their name or identifier
• Player profile — View detailed information including all sessions, notes, bans, and warnings

Taking Action

• Kick — Remove a player from the server immediately with a reason message
• Ban — Ban permanently or for a specified duration. Bans persist across name changes because they use multiple identifiers (license, Discord, IP)
• Warn — Issue a warning that appears on the player's screen when they next connect
• Direct Message — Send a private message to a player in-game
• Whitelist — Manage whitelisting for private or application-based servers

---

Live Console

The live console streams your server's output in real time:

• View server print messages and errors as they happen
• Execute server commands directly from the browser
• Filter output by resource name or message type
• Search through console history

This is invaluable for debugging script issues without needing direct server access.

---

Resource Management

• View loaded resources — See which resources are currently running
• Start and stop resources — Toggle individual resources without restarting the entire server
• Resource monitor — Identify which resources are consuming the most performance (similar to the in-game resmon command)

---

Scheduled Restarts

Server restarts clear memory and keep things running smoothly:

• Set restart times using a schedule (e.g., every 6 hours, or at specific times like 04:00 and 16:00)
• Configure a countdown warning that alerts players before the restart
• Customize the warning message and countdown duration
• Restarts are seamless — the server stops, applies pending changes, and starts again

---

Server Monitoring

txAdmin continuously monitors your server's health:

• Crash detection — If the server process crashes, txAdmin can automatically restart it
• Heartbeat monitoring — Detects when the server becomes unresponsive (frozen)
• Memory watchdog — Alerts when memory usage exceeds thresholds
• Automatic recovery — Configurable actions when issues are detected

---

Admin Management

For servers with multiple staff members:

• Create admin accounts — Add other people as txAdmin administrators
• Permission levels — Grant specific permissions (player management, console access, server control)
• Audit log — Track every admin action for accountability

---

Best Practices

• Restart regularly — Schedule restarts every 6-8 hours to prevent memory leaks
• Use the audit log — Review admin actions periodically to ensure staff accountability
• Keep artifacts updated — Update your server artifacts regularly for the latest txAdmin features and security patches
• Set up Discord logging — Configure txAdmin to send events to a Discord channel via webhooks

---

Your Server Command Center

txAdmin transforms FiveM server management from a command-line experience into a professional web dashboard. Combined with tools like Jobs Creator for in-game job management, you have complete control over every aspect of your server.
