Remote Servers and Agents

GSP uses remote communication to control game servers through agents installed on host machines.

Panel-Side Flow

• the panel builds an action request
• the panel sends the request through its remote library
• the remote agent executes the request on the host
• the panel reads back status, output, or file content

Important Source Areas

• Panel/Panel/includes/lib_remote.php
• Panel/Panel/modules/gamemanager/
• Panel/Panel/modules/steam_workshop/

Confirmed Remote Methods Seen In Workshop Paths

• steam_cmd(...)
• steam_workshop(...)
• get_workshop_mods_info(...)
• remote_writefile(...)
• remote_readfile(...)
• exec(...)

Operational Notes

• the panel decides policy and prepares trusted requests
• agents execute those requests on the managed host
• agent setup and operating-system packages should be verified against the active agent repository used by the deployment
