For DayZ server owners

See everything happening on your DayZ server.

Anti-cheat evidence, a live map, admin logs and alerts in one desk, and a manager that runs the server on your own PC.

Free during early access. Works with Expansion, LBmaster and CJ's mods; CFTools is optional.

Anti-cheat evidence, not auto-bans

The Anti-Cheat overview: observations to review, observations per day, the evidence feeds, the highest-risk players and the detectors firing most.

Fifteen server-side detectors watch for speed and teleports, fire rate, kills through walls, duplicated items, RPC floods, code lock guessing and more. Each observation keeps its evidence, the threshold it crossed and the everyday reasons it can happen, with a replay of the moment on the map.

Highwatch never kicks or bans. Your staff confirm or dismiss each observation, and BattlEye stays the anti-cheat that blocks. How each detector works

Your whole server, live

The Highwatch server map of Chernarus with player and vehicle markers and the list of received entities.

Every player, vehicle and world event on the real terrain of the map you run, from Chernarus, Livonia and Sakhal to Deer Isle and Namalsk: 42 official and modded maps. Positions update every three seconds, with trails over the last week and a combat heat layer.

When a base is hit, What happened here? rebuilds the raid from the evidence: who came near, the first hit, the probable way in and the first item taken, with facts and unknowns kept apart. More on the live map

Know what your admins do

Staff actions: a filter by period, staff member and action, and two open flags with their strength.

Small server-only add-ons record every action taken with Community Online Tools, VPP Admin Tools or LBmaster Admin Tools: spawns, items given to others, teleports, ESP and free camera time, removals and permission changes. Only the server owner sees it.

Flags point at the patterns worth a second look, and you confirm or dismiss them with a private note. Highwatch never acts on a flag. How staff actions work

Run the server from your own PC

The Server Manager overview: servers online, players connected, mods deployed and automated restarts, with a card per server.

The Server Manager installs and runs DayZ servers on a Windows PC you control: Workshop mods, scheduled restarts with player notices, updates, backups and restores, rolling maintenance across many servers, and a port check that tells you whether players can reach you. It is optional; the desk works with any host. Meet the Server Manager

Works with what you already run

World, Bases: a base with its owner, group, members from LB Groups, raids in the last seven days and a What happened here button.
  • DayZ Expansion: market trades, territories, parties and settings.
  • LBmaster: groups and territories on bases, connected through your LB Core link.
  • CJ's mods: the patrol helicopter, the BTR patrol, hacked crates, keycard rooms and base building, on the map and in Activity.
  • CFTools: optional. The @Highwatch mod reports on its own, and the desk can also read your CFTools servers.
  • Discord: kill feeds, raid alerts, anti-cheat alerts and a daily briefing, each in the channel you choose.

How it works

  1. The @Highwatch mod runs on your server only, so players download nothing. It reports what happens to an ingest Highwatch hosts for you, or one you run yourself.
  2. The Server Desk, for Windows and macOS, is where you and your staff work: players, the map, anti-cheat, raids, alerts and the Discord bot.
  3. The Server Manager is optional, for running the server itself on your own Windows PC.
