DayZ RCON Tool & Admin Panel

CFTools Cloud is a DayZ RCon admin tool for communities that already run a DayZ server. It connects over BattlEye RCon and gives staff a live player list, permanent global profiles with GUID variant handling and Steam lookup, ban lists that can be shared across servers, and DayZ queue-priority synchronization. Paid plans keep logs for 30 to 180 days. Staff receive granular roles, so the RCON password stays with the owner. Deploying the server is a separate job for CFTools Architect, and GameLabs adds in-game tools that go beyond RCon.

Admin tool highlights

Live BattlEye monitoring

CFTools Cloud keeps a persistent BattlEye RCon connection to the DayZ server. Staff see uptime, the connected player list, and a searchable stream of RCon and server logs without launching the game.

GUID and Steam profiles

DayZ identity is more than a nickname. Permanent global player profiles follow GUID variants and Steam lookup, so bans and history stay attached to the player across aliases and sessions.

Ban lists that travel

Build a DayZ ban list, share it across your own servers, and use community-wide ban sharing when several communities want the same block list. Whitelist controls sit beside the ban tools.

Queue-priority sync

Queue-priority synchronization is a DayZ Cloud feature. Priority stays consistent for the server, and the same data can be reached through the API for websites and community tools.

Roles without the RCON password

Owners keep the DayZ RCON password. Moderators, admins, and trial staff get granular Cloud roles, so a weekend moderator never needs the BattlEye password itself.

Discord, jobs, and logs

Schedule restarts and messages, fire triggers from server events, and post Discord alerts. Paid Cloud plans retain DayZ logs for at least 30 days and up to 180 days, depending on the plan.

How DayZ RCon administration works

The game server stays where you already host it. CFTools Cloud reaches it over BattlEye RCon from edge clusters in North America, Europe, Oceania, and Asia. Storage and processing stay in the European Union (Germany). Staff work in the Cloud dashboard: live players, kicks, bans, logs, and audit history of who did what.

What is specific to DayZ

Queue-priority synchronization and API access apply to DayZ. GUID variant handling matters because DayZ communities see the same survivor under more than one identifier. GameLabs is a DayZ in-game integration, with a live map and gameplay statistics, and it is covered on the DayZ admin tool at /title/dayz/admin-tool. CFTools Architect deploys, updates, and backs up the server on your machine.

What the DayZ connection depends on

Live features depend on a correctly configured BattlEye RCon port that CFTools can reach. Some hosts lock RCon or file access, which blocks Cloud even when the server is online for players. VPN detection, geoblocking, name filters, and chat filters are Cloud modules on top of RCon, and they still need that connection.

What a DayZ server needs

Cloud administers an existing DayZ server. It does not replace the machine the server runs on.

  • A DayZ server reachable on the internet
  • BattlEye RCon enabled and configured
  • Firewall access for the RCon port
  • A CFTools Cloud account to register the server
  • Optional GameLabs mod when you want in-game tools beyond RCon

Frequently asked questions

What is a DayZ RCon admin tool?
It is software that administers a DayZ server over BattlEye RCon: live players, logs, bans, messages, and staff actions. CFTools Cloud is that tool for servers you already run.
Does DayZ Cloud use BattlEye RCon?
Yes. Real-time monitoring, logs, and most management actions use a BattlEye RCon connection that must be enabled and reachable.
Can DayZ staff work without the RCON password?
Yes. Granular RBAC lets you grant limited Cloud permissions. The RCON password does not have to be shared with every moderator.
How do DayZ ban lists and player history work?
Players have permanent global profiles with GUID variant handling and Steam lookup. Ban lists can be shared across your servers and community-wide.
Does this DayZ RCon tool include queue priority?
Yes. Queue-priority synchronization and API access are part of CFTools Cloud for DayZ. They are not part of ArmA Cloud.
How long are DayZ RCon logs kept?
On paid CFTools Cloud plans, log retention is at least 30 days and up to 180 days, depending on the plan.
Is GameLabs the same as DayZ RCon?
No. This page is the RCon admin tool. GameLabs is a separate DayZ mod integration for a live map, dynamic actions, and gameplay statistics.
Where is DayZ admin data stored?
RCon edge clusters run in NA, EU, OC, and AS. All CFTools storage and processing happen in the European Union (Germany).
