Use Ocelot
Use Ocelot to inspect a server before you ask it to make a change.
Use this guide when
Use this guide to manage EnderDash resources with Ocelot chat.
Before you begin
Before you start, find out:
- whether the task applies to one server or the whole organization
- which Ocelot tools are enabled in that organization
- whether host, shell, container, or database tools are enabled for the target
- whether Ocelot needs approval before it acts
If you do not know which tools are available, read Configure Ocelot Guardrails. You can also ask an admin.
Open Ocelot
Use Open Ocelot in the dashboard header. On a server page, start with that server selected. The Ocelot sidebar item under Manage opens organization settings for owners and admins.
Start with the right scope
- For a task on one runtime, select its server.
- For a task across servers, select the organization.
A smaller scope gives Ocelot less unrelated information.
Ask Ocelot to inspect before it changes anything
Use this sequence for operational tasks:
- Ask Ocelot to inspect the current state.
- Ask for a summary of the result.
- Review the proposed action.
- Approve or request the action.
These steps show you what Ocelot found before it changes the system.
Investigate one performance problem
On the affected server, ask:
Inspect the current TPS, memory, and recent console errors. Summarize what you can confirm, the time window, and any missing data. Propose the next check before changing configuration.
Compare the answer with Statistics and Console. If Ocelot proposes a change, review its target and effect. After an approved action, verify the runtime result in a live panel.
If you want a finding saved, ask for a note that names the server, observed facts, and unresolved questions. Review the note before relying on it in a later session.
Keep requests concrete
A clear request names the item, action, and expected result.
Examples:
Show me the last 100 console lines with errors onlyFind every file that mentions 25565Check whether the server is falling behind on TPSShow me the LuckPerms nodes for the moderator groupIs Chunky still pregenerating the overworld?Check the Docker containers related to this serverLook for recent Kubernetes events for this server workload
Review sensitive actions
Your organization can use these controls:
- high-impact actions can require approval
- some tool groups can be disabled entirely
- shell, container, database, and Kubernetes actions can use separate limits
- Emergency Stop can block Ocelot until an admin enables it again
If Ocelot refuses a request, an organization rule or permission usually blocks the action.
Save useful findings
Ask Ocelot to save important results as notes. Use notes for:
- recurring operational facts
- known server problems
- troubleshooting results that your team can use later
If Ocelot stops early
Make sure that:
- the organization still has available Ocelot usage
- the required tool group is enabled
- you selected the correct server or organization
Admins can change these controls in Configure Ocelot Guardrails.
