RustDash Docs

Getting Started

RustDash connects to your Rust game server through a lightweight Oxide plugin. Setup takes less than 60 seconds — no complex configuration needed.

Requirements

Plugin Installation

oxide.reload RustDash

Server Pairing

After installing the plugin, you need to link your server to your RustDash project.

/pair ABC123

Dashboard

The dashboard is your central hub for managing all your Rust servers.

Projects

A project is a group of servers you manage together. Bans, mutes, and settings can be shared across all servers within a project.

• Create multiple projects (limit depends on your subscription)
• Each project has its own ban lists, mutes, and settings
• Servers within a project share player data
• Project-level analytics aggregates all server stats

Server Overview

The project dashboard shows all connected servers with live status indicators: online status, player count, FPS, map, and last ping latency. Click any server row to view detailed information.

Server Details

Each server has a dedicated page with:

Player Management

Player List

View all players across your servers. Filter by online/offline status, search by nickname or SteamID. Each player card shows:

• Steam name, SteamID, avatar, and country flag
• Online / AFK / Queue / Offline status
• K/D ratio, kills, deaths, total playtime
• Current server, ping, and position

Actions (Ban / Kick / Mute)

Click any player to open the action panel. Available actions:

Player Statistics

Detailed player profiles include combat stats from the last 48 hours: kills as attacker, kills as victim, headshot rate, average and max kill distance, weapon breakdown, and recent kill feed entries. Stats persist across sessions but reset on wipe.

Live Chat

Chat Monitoring

The chat page shows real-time game messages via WebSocket — no polling, no delays. Messages appear instantly as players type them in-game.

• Live WebSocket connection with green indicator
• Filter by server when managing multiple servers
• Full message history with scroll-to-load
• Global, team, and local channel support
• Optional profanity filter toggle

Sending Messages

You can send messages to the game chat directly from the panel. Configure a custom sender name (e.g., "[ADMIN]") and choose which server receives the message. Messages sent from the panel appear in-game just like regular chat.

Moderation

Reports

Players can report others directly in-game using the CUI panel (F7 or command). Reports include a reason category — Cheat, Macros, Bug Abuse, Toxic, Teaming, or Other. All reports show up in the panel with initiator and target info. You can resolve or dismiss reports.

Player Checks

Start a moderation check directly from the panel. The player is notified in-game and cannot disconnect without consequences. They must provide contact info (Discord, Telegram, etc.) which is relayed back to the panel. Status flow: pending → active → passed / failed.

Ban Lists

View and manage all bans across your project. Bans can be global (all servers) or per-server. Supports temporary bans with expiration dates, IP bans, and ban history. Bans persist across wipes — they are never automatically deleted.

Mute System

Mute players in text chat or voice chat. Mutes can be temporary (with expiration) or permanent. Active mutes are enforced by the plugin in real-time.

Monitoring

Sign Monitoring

The plugin automatically captures images painted on signs, photo frames, and other paintable entities. View all captured images in the panel. You can clear inappropriate signs remotely — the plugin will wipe the sign in-game instantly.

Stash Detection

RustDash tracks when a player digs up a stash they don't own. This is a strong indicator of ESP (wallhack) usage. The panel shows who dug up the stash, who owns it, the map location, and timestamp. Repeated offenders are flagged with a count badge.

Audit Log

Every moderation action (ban, kick, mute, check start/stop, sign clear) is logged in the audit trail. See who did what, when, and to which player. Essential for team moderation and accountability.

Anticheat

RustDashAC is a server-side anticheat plugin that detects suspicious player behavior and sends alerts to your panel. It does not auto-ban — you review each violation and decide what action to take.

Overview

The anticheat plugin runs alongside RustDash.cs on your server. It monitors player movement, combat patterns, and rendering behavior in real time. When a violation is detected, it's sent to the panel where you can review the details, mark false positives, and take action.

Detection Types

The plugin includes 6 independent detectors, each with configurable thresholds:

Dashboard & Alerts

The anticheat dashboard in RustDash has three tabs:

Violations are color-coded by severity — from low (informational) to critical. Context data (player ping, server FPS, exact coordinates) helps you distinguish real cheats from lag-related false positives.

Installation

oxide.reload RustDashAC

AI Assistant

RustDash includes an AI-powered assistant that helps you detect cheaters and analyze player behavior using Claude AI.

AI Chat

Open the AI panel from the dashboard navbar. Ask it to analyze any player by SteamID or nickname. The AI receives complete player context: combat stats, headshot rate, kill distances, weapons, reports, ban history, stash digging patterns, Steam profile (hours, VAC bans, account age, privacy status), and more.

The AI responds with a structured analysis: threat level (0-100), detected anomalies, comparison to normal metrics, and a recommended action.

Suspect Scoring

The suspects tab automatically scores all online players based on their K/D ratio, headshot rate, kill distances, number of reports, license status, and combat intensity. Suspicious players are ranked by score — review the highest scores first.

Player Search

You can ask the AI to scan a player by nickname. If the name doesn't match exactly, fuzzy matching finds similar names. When multiple matches are found, you'll see suggestion cards to pick the right player.

Example: "scan player xXShadowXx"

Analytics

Statistics

The statistics page shows interactive charts for player trends:

• Peak online and average player count per day
• Player count history chart (24h / 7d / 30d)
• Unique players and session distribution
• Daily stats with trend comparison

Plugin Profiling

Start a profiling session from any server's detail page. The plugin measures CPU time and memory usage for every loaded Oxide plugin. Results update every 5 seconds during the session. Use this to identify plugins that are slowing down your server.

Billing

Subscription Plans

Payments

Payments are processed through YooMoney (bank cards, RUB). After payment, your subscription activates immediately. You can view payment history and download receipts from the Billing page.

Promo Codes

Enter a promo code on the billing page to get a discount on your subscription. Promo codes can offer percentage or fixed discounts and may have usage limits or expiration dates.

Plugin Reference

Reference for the RustDash.cs Oxide plugin (v3.3.0).

Commands

Configuration

The plugin works out of the box with zero configuration. After pairing, it automatically sends server state every 5 seconds and batches chat, kills, and reports. No config file editing needed.

Permissions

The /pair command requires server admin privileges (auth level 2). The in-game report UI is available to all players. No Oxide permissions need to be configured manually.
